waterblast

In just a few minutes, using nothing but water, you can strip away the corrosion and fouling that plagues every vessel.

Ultra-high pressure waterblasting quickly removes rust, scale, old paint, barnacles — virtually anything — right down to a white metal finish. Eliminate the expense of chemicals, solvents or grit... and the risks they pose to crews. For hulls, holds, and boiler tubes, waterblasting is the fastest, cleanest, most environmentally-friendly method of surface preparation and cleaning you can choose.

It's also reliable and easy to use. The

ULTRA-CLEAN 36® waterblasting system from

NLB Corporation can run continuously for weeks without service and is as practical at sea as it is dockside. The system's low flow reduces operator fatigue and requires a minimal supply of fresh water. Use it with hand-held lances or with NLB SPIN JET® technology.

NLB can provide the ULTRA-CLEAN 36 system with various power options and mountings, as well as lances, hose and specialized nozzles. (You can even cut through pipes or bulkheads without heat or flame.) With 25-plus years' experience solving tough surface preparation problems, NLB can get you shipshape in a hurry. | NLB Corp. wmmmwmr 29830 Beck Road,Wixom, Michigan 48393-2824, U.S.A.
