Some plain talk about fighting rust and other marine corrosion Let's face it! Rust will always be with us. But we can fight it effec-tively and economically, whenever it occurs and reduce rust to a nuis-ance rather than a problem. Corrosion Dynamics and the Development of the Arnessen Chipping Hammer. Our interest in developing out-standing tools to combat and remove rust; scale and old paint go back many years. We found the marine personnel struggling with several important problems in relation to rust removal hammers. The Weight Factor. Some manufacturers of chip-ping tools incorporate motor and head in one unit. This makes them heavy and unwieldy. So heavy in fact, that workmen handling the tool soon tire and often drop it due to fatigue. This is costly. Corrosion Dynamics solved this problem with the ARNESSEN CHIPPING HAMMER quite simply: THE SUMMING UP: Operator Advantage The Arnessen Chipping ham-mer is easier to operate, with less operator fatigue, greater overall efficiency. Owner Advantage In most cases a light pass over vertical, horizontal or bevel-shaped surfaces suffices to remove coatings and impurities. No need to go back over area, again and again. Corner finger heads let you get into hard to reach areas. Air or Electric?Take Your Pick Arnessen Large Area Production Deck Scalers and Their Benefits ARNESSEN HAS OVERCOME THESE FACTORS IN SEVERAL WAYS: Two Cutter Wheel Sizes: Arnessen uses 66 long life chrome alloy cutter wheels of two sizes, cutting an 11" swath on rust, epoxy undercoatings, cement coating, semihard deck coating, Navy non-skid deck coatings and paint. Drum Design Prevents Streaking: Due to its unique design and self aligning shock-mounted roller bearings streaking is eliminated. Arnessen, a True Marine Production Scaler: Operating at 2000 RPM through triple belt sheave drive, the Arnessen scaler is a true marine production unit cutting scaling costs 60% as it scales at 300 sq. ft. per hour. Adjust While You Scale: Arnessen's scaler is unique in yet another way. It allows you to adjust wheel cut as you approach heavily coated areas without stop-ping machine to make mechanical adjustments. To meet varying deck condi-tions, Arnessen has developed 3 types of cutters, each engineered to let you work in a fast econom-ical manner on a given surface. Arnessen Users Span the World: Steamship companies, the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, Army Corps of Engineers, dredg-ing and towing con- j cerns, drydock and shipbuilding compa-nies have Arnessen chipping hammers and deck scal-ers. Some ships have as many as 6 units. Machines may be rotated within fleet to meet maintenance requirements. Arnessen Units Meet All Safety Standards: We have subjected our scalers and hammers to every safety test and 3 years of sea trials, before offering the unit to marine users.

Reducing total overall weight, as well as the weight operator must hold and move. Flexible shaft. The flexible shaft and corner head permits the ARNESSEN hammer to get at hard to reach places. The shaft also has a built in safety factor. Shutoff can be made by simple clutch action, preventing possible injuries, damage to unit. Light pass operation. The efficiency of the ARNESSEN ham-mer permits opera-tion on vertical, horizontal and irreg-ularly shaped sur-faces. You decide on the power source, the Arnessen Chipping Hammer works equally well on either one. Wearability is an important factor on the multi-wheel deck scaler. Improperly designed or hard wheels have a ten-dency to crack creating excessive downtime and expense. Streaking also occurs due to wheel breakage. Often wheels are too brittle and not intended for deck operation. July 27, 1969 13
