Innovative Waterblasting Solutions for the Maritime Industry

The maritime industry faces unique challenges in maintenance and cleaning, from removing coatings on ship hulls to ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

At DERC Salotech, we provide advanced robotic tools like the MagTrack, which can be equipped with both water jetting (waterblasting) and sandblasting systems, making high-pressure cleaning safer, faster, and more sustainable.

Challenges in the Maritime Industry

Maintaining vessels and maritime structures requires precision and efficiency, especially when dealing with:

  • Corrosion removal: Extending the lifespan of ship hulls and offshore structures.
  • Coating removal: Stripping paint or other coatings for repairs or inspections.
  • Environmental compliance: Reducing waste discharge and ensuring cleaner operations.

Traditional methods often involve risks to workers, inefficiencies, and environmental concerns.

MagTrack’s Innovative Solutions

Swing Arm: Open Waterblasting or Sandblasting

The swing arm is designed for precise and efficient high-pressure waterblasting or abrasive blasting. Its robust design allows operators to:

  • Effectively remove coatings and contaminants from ship hulls.
  • Work on large surfaces with consistent, high-quality results.
  • Increase operator safety by minimizing direct exposure to high-pressure jets.

Blast Can: Closed Vacuum Waterblasting

For the most environmentally friendly option, the blast can combines high-pressure cleaning with waste containment.

  • Closed vacuum system: Ensures that wastewater and debris are immediately captured and removed.
  • Eco-friendly solution: Reduces water usage and prevents pollution of marine environments.
  • Versatility: Ideal for tank cleaning, offshore structures, and sensitive maritime areas.

MagTrack: Benefits for the Maritime Industry

Enhanced Safety:

  • No need for crane assistance, cherry pickers or scaffolding.
  • Reduced exposure to high-pressure water or abrasive materials.
  • Consistent results with minimal operator intervention.
  • NORSOK Standard certification ensures compliance with offshore safety and operational standards.

Efficiency Gains:

  • Faster cleaning times, minimizing downtime for vessels.
  • Reliable performance for both large-scale and precision cleaning.

Environmental Responsibility:

  • Blast can technology prevents discharge into oceans, aligning with stringent regulations.
  • Reduced waste and water usage for a greener approach.
