Pressurized water jets

Pressurized water blasting is a powerful cleaning and processing method in which water is sprayed onto a surface at high pressure to remove dirt, coatings or material residues. Depending on the application and material, the pressure of the water can be between 100 and several thousand bar. The process is often used in the construction, marine, industrial and cleaning sectors as it is effective, environmentally friendly and versatile.

In pressurized water blasting, the water jet acts as a mechanical tool that does not require the use of chemical cleaning agents. It is particularly suitable for removing dirt, rust, paint or concrete residue without damaging the underlying material. High-pressure water jets can also be used for precise cutting work or surface preparation, for example before applying new coatings.

One advantage of high-pressure water jetting is its flexibility, as the process can be adapted to different requirements. Lower pressures are suitable for sensitive materials, while ultra-high pressure can also remove harder layers such as concrete or metal. The process is also environmentally friendly as it leaves no chemical residue and the water can be reused in closed circuits.

The equipment typically consists of a high-pressure pump, a spray gun and various nozzles that can be selected depending on the task. With specially developed nozzles, the jet can be bundled or distributed in a fan shape to efficiently treat different surfaces.
