High-Pressure Water Jet Blasting

Jet Blast® Industrial Services uses high-pressure water up to 40,000 PSI, and volumes up to 300 GPM, for cosmetic cleaning or removing unwanted fouling deposits. Its great power and versatility make water jet blasting an excellent solution to many cleaning problems. Water Jet Blasting can be used safely even in potentially volatile environments without harming base material. In the hands of our expert personnel, water jet blasting can be used to clean the hardest deposits without damaging equipment. Water jet blasting can be used alone or in combination with other industrial cleaning techniques. It is especially effective where chemicals would be difficult or impossible to use due to equipment configurations, metallurgy, economics, or other reasons. Jet Blast® Industrial Services has a complete line of water jet blasting equipment to fit any application and to match equipment to the job for faster, safer, cleaner processes.

More on Water Jet Blasting

Surface Preparation

Water jet blasting with 20,000-40,000 psi can give a “white metal” finish and is a cost saving alternative to grit blasting. There is no sand to clean up, no sand to dispose of, production rates that are more than comparable to sand blasting and a finish that provides better adhesion of paints and coatings. Did you know that water jet blasting with 20,000-40,000 psi can replace jackhammers and other standard percussion tools for the successful demolition of concrete and other hard materials? We can demolish wide areas with our Hydro-Mower, scarify, expose aggregate and expose rebar. Not sure if water blasting is your answer? Call us and discuss your needs, we are water jet blasting experts.

Pressure Up to 40,000 PSI

As an example, a mere 10,000 psi water jet blast can demolish a concrete block in a single pass. Now imagine the cleaning power of 40,000 psi? Jet Blast® Industrial Services has the capability to operate at 40,000 psi. We have the ability to accomplish any cleaning task.

An Alternate to Grit Blasting

A. Visually grit blasted surfaces appear clean and acceptable for coating applications; however, upon microscopic inspection, the profiles on grit blasted surfaces are smoother and the surface profiles are peened and rolled over, often encapsulating salts in cavities within the metal’s profile. Salts hamper coating adhesion and lead to premature coating failure. B. Water jet blasting meets the SC-2 standard for removal of soluble salts. Using pressures up to 40,000 psi, rust, rubber and other speciality coatings are thoroughly removed without the drawbacks of conventional grit blasting. Cleaned surfaces meet or exceed the following industry standards: WJ-1 (White Metal) specification of NACE No. 5 and SSPC-SP-12 & SIS Sa 3.

Fast and Large Coverage with Water Jet Blasting
