Cleaning ship hulls with high pressure water jetsKAMAT water jet technology has been able to establish itself on the field of ship hull cleaning. In semi-automatic ship hull cleaning, maritime residuals can be removed from the ship's hull completely by high pressure water jet. Shipyards with KAMAT high pressure technology are in: Geneva, Naples, Malta, Great Yarmouth, Piraeus, Stavanger, Bergen, Constata, Aalborg, Sharjah, Dubai, Singapour and Rio de Janeiro, among others. |

Cleaning of steel surfaces up to 1000 bar The conventional method of cleaning and paint removal in the ship industry and in general corrosion prevention is carried out at working pressures of up to 1000 bar. Using this method, a surface quality according to the internationally accepted standard of WJ3-WJ4 can be achieved. KAMAT customers worldwide use high pressure guns and rotating nozzles to handle these tasks. As can be seen in this picture, in many cases the work is carried out from a hydraulic working platform - a so-called "Cherry-Picker". A cleaning rate of 30 to 50 m²/h is possible, depending on the condition of the surface and the resulting standard requirement. |
The two types of rotating nozzles shown below are the ones most frequently used. |
