Profile of steel will be changed and the fouling will be hidden on surface.
Effect of sandblast and hydroblast
Microscope image on right: pockets and holes prior to treatment(indicated by yellow arrows).Blasting material residue and slag after sandblast (green arrows). Wavelike substrate deformations(violet circles). Slat residue(white bits). Pitted material(red arrows).
Microscope image on right: the pockets and holes prior to treatment(circled blue) are cleaned by high pressure waterjet, removing all impurities from them and from the surface. The residual chloride levels are at least 5 times lower than on a grit blasted surface and the substrate profile remains intact ensuring good adhesion of the new coating and greatly reducing the risk of future paint film defects.
Comparing
Sandblast: The residue from sandblasting needs to be removed. Hydroblast: Water Saving and residue 98.5% off by waterblast.
Fully Auto Swing Arm Climbing Robot
Safe, clean and efficient one man operation.
Wireless remote controlled operating system.
Eliminates access needs(staging, cranes,etc.).
Full service package.
Removal of industrial coating and marine corrosion.
Various standard & custom engineered applications.
All horizontal, overhead and vertical surfaces are easily accessible.

Features
The robot enable shipyards, off shore, petrochemical and wide range of other industries to clean steel surfaces. allowing other trades to simultaneously perform other maintenance procedures. The robot offers a significant advantage over the traditional methods to remove marine growth, industrial coatings and corrosion. The robot is designed for all horizontal, overhead and vertical steel cleaning, blasting or custom engineered applications. It is remotely controlled for operator safety, comfort and productivity. The light weight construction and quick (dis)connect systems reduce the buildup time to approximately 10 minutes. The robot adheres to the wall by a magnetic drive assembly and can be moved independently. There is no need for crane assistance or cherry pickers.
