Advantages

LOWER COSTS THAN GRIT BLASTING

Because only water is used to remove coatings with UHP Equipment, water blasting brings labor costs down vs. grit blasting by eliminating the need to shut down for collection and disposal of abrasive. High productivity and no cleaning means you accelerate your project.

PRODUCES A CLEANER SURFACE

PURE water is used and a cleaner surface is achieved. UHP equipment removes coatings and leaves a near white metal surface with the original profile intact. Corosion contaminants are removed from deep pits leaving your surface with a much lower level of residual chlorides vs abrasive blasting. A cleaner surface means applied coatings will last longer.

THE ABILITY TO WORK ALONGSIDE OTHER TRADES

With water, you do not have to shut down the work area because of the sand cloud when conventional blasting. This allows the other trades to continue working which results in greater productivity. No grit in your bearings, ventilation, or other mechanical equipment.

INCREASING ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

Regulations regarding sand blasting have become more strict. As we learn more about the negative health effects of harmful metals in sand, UHP water blasting.

INCREASED WATER BLAST PRODUCTIVITY

The Stingray can blast an avg. of 4,500 sq ft per 12 hr shift, which is equivalent to 11 sand blasters. The increase comes from the new generation UHP pump, an upgraded and more powerful vacuum and a larger cutting path.

CONTAINMENT

Less containment is needed when using UHP Hand Lances. The Stingray Robotic System is 100% self contained.
