Robotica - Internal Pipe & Tube Blasting

Sponge-Jet technology for internal pipe, tank and tube preparation – designed to offer maximum range of capabilities and accommodate every application. From the revolutionary Robotica™ for large diameter pipes and horizontal tanks to basic rotary blasting systems for smaller pipes and tubes.

Robotica™

The Robotica is specifically designed to work with Sponge-Jet blasting technology in large diameter pipes, tubes and horizontal tanks. Standard sizes range from 1-3.6m (3.5-12ft) diameter. Custom configurations and solutions are available for specific applications. The Robotica allows for precise control, high productivity rates and reduced Sponge Media abrasive consumption compared to manual blasting. Blast hose and control cables can be configured to 600m (2,000ft) from the Feed Unit™
