Operating principle and design
Applications
Dust-free, environmentally friendly cleaning with separate high-pressure unit
Can also be used at the highest points of a ship hull
Versatile in operation
In combination with the direct, integrated Aquablast® Plus vacuum system, the Dockmate ensures environmentally friendly derusting, plus the removal of old surface coatings and accumulated waste and wastewater.us
AQUABLAST® Plus cleaning and vacuuming system
The DOCKMATE is equipped with the AQUABLAST® Plus system
The high-performance system for cleaning and vacuuming in a single step
AQUABLAST® Plus cleaning and vacuuming system
- The specially developed nozzle layout ensures that the high-pressure water is distributed evenly across the entire working width
- Hydraulic drive for constant speeds, infinitely variable from 100 to 2500 rpm
- Oil and water kept completely separate – contamination of the hydraulic oil as a result of significant pressure losses not possible
- Cleaning and vacuuming integrated in a single system

Other properties of the DOCKMATE
Electronic control unit
- Allows for safe, easy operation of the Dockmate
- Ensures a uniform supply to the jet head, resulting in even paint removal
- Failsafe operation! Sensors detect unsafe or critical conditions and trigger automatic stops or deactivations
- Operational functions are largely automated
- Pre-selection of the most important parameters on the control cabinet; regular operation via radio remote control
Automatic adhesion
- A system of sensors and proportional hydraulic valves allows for constant contact pressure on the jet tool
- In above-ground, vertical and inclined operating positions, this ensures that the Aquablast is always in contact with the ship hull or surface to be prepared
- The Aquablast mounted to the jib automatically follows the curvature of the ship hull
- Automatic compensation of the changing distance between vehicle and ship hull during travel
Integrated vacuum system
- Collects the solid materials (removed surface coating, rust) and wastewater directly on the ship hull
- Ensures a clean surface as the particles are removed actively and immediately
- Supports the fast drying of the blasted surface, leading to a reduced build-up of rust film
Filter/disposal module
- Solid materials are pre-separated directly in the vehicle
- The particles are collected in a “big bag” for easy disposal
- A rotary pump conveys the wastewater to a treatment plant (where available) in a controlled fashion
Four-wheel drive
Outstanding maneuverability in tight spaces thanks to independently steerable axles (e.g. between hull and dock wall or dock access routes).
