DOCKMATE 3000 Semi-automatic UHP water blasting vehicle for ship hull and tank surface preparation. The Dockmate is a completely dust free, eco friendly alternative to dry open abrasive blasting capable of preparing hull surfaces to the most exacting standards applicable today. Using pressures varying between 2500 and 3000 bar up to 250 sq. metres per hour of surface can be prepared to NACE/SSPC standards WJ1/SC-2. Chassis The torsion free chassis with solid rubber tyres is designed for absolute maximum stability. Front and rear axles have independent steering guaranteeing maximum manoeuvrability in the often narrow space between hull and dock wall or through dock access ways. The 4 wheel drive is powered by hydraulic motors with built in limited slip differential. The Dockmate is operated by portable remote control Blasting head for spot blasting. For spot blasting the rotating nozzle arm can be hydraulically retracted from the work surface when moving from spot to spot. This allows the Telescopic jib pump unit to continue to run at pressure but without damaging the The telescopic jib is mounted on a turntable supported by roller bearings good surface between the various spots needing blasting. Retracting and can be slewed through + 30° the nozzle arm increases the stand to - 30°. off distance to a point where the The triple section jib is available in a water jets dissipate and are no longer effective. choice of three versions with maximum working heights of 22m, 27m and 32m. All components are easy accessible and service friendly installed.

Working arm A working arm functioning as an equipment carrier is installed at the tip of the telescopic jib. The blasting head can be swivelled so that both horizontal and overhead surfaces can be cleaned. The blasting head is a Hammelmann AQUABLAST® with a choice of from one to three leakage free sealed high pressure, rotary joints. All three versions are driven by a single hydraulic motor using a ribbed drive belt. This functional principle provides a clear separation between the water and oil hydraulics AQUABLAST® working width Vacuum and waste water filter/ recovery module The waste...
