The Hydroblasting and the Sandblasting They are critical processes for the restoration and maintenance of ship surfaces, ensuring they remain in excellent condition for an extended period. These techniques are used to remove rust, marine salts, deposits, and other impurities from the ship's surfaces, enhancing its durability and preventing corrosion.
Hydroblasting uses high-pressure water to remove deposits and clean surfaces without causing damage, while sandblasting uses micro-particles (usually sand) for more demanding cleanings and for restoring the original appearance of surfaces.
These processes contribute to protecting the ship from corrosion, increasing the metal's durability, and enhancing its aesthetics.
Hydroblasting for Metal Surface Cleaning:
- Hydroblasting is used to clean and restore the metal surfaces of the ship, removing rust and salts without causing damage to the metal surface. It is ideal for engine rooms, shafts, and other metal structures.
Sandblasting for Cleaning and Protection of Hulls and Underwater Surfaces:
- Sandblasting is effective for cleaning the ship's underwater surfaces, such as the hull and propellers, removing corrosion and the accumulation of organic materials that may affect the vessel's performance.
Paint and Coating Restoration:
- Hydroblasting and sandblasting processes are also used for restoring the ship's original paint and coatings, removing old and worn layers, and preparing the surface for new coatings.
Rebuilding and Maintenance of Underwater Structures:
- Hydroblasting and sandblasting are used for rebuilding underwater structures, such as the boat’s hulls and other parts of the vessel that experience increased friction and wear due to contact with water.
Ship Cleaning from Human and Mechanical Residues:
- Hydroblasting and sandblasting are effective for removing organic materials and mechanical residues from the ship's surfaces, protecting them from potential damage that may occur over time.
Cleaning and Maintenance of Pumps and Pipelines:
Hydroblasting and sandblasting processes help in the cleaning and maintenance of the ship's pumps and pipelines, removing rust, salt crust, and other deposits that may reduce efficiency.
