In its endeavour to address to the maximum extent possible its clients’ cleaning needs, BalkanBlast is providing hydroblasting/hydrosandblasting services, exerting 250bar to 800bar pressure, for cleaning surfaces from oils, cements, greases etc., using experienced personnel and state-of-the-art machinery. Hydroblasting is the method of cleaning various surfaces of diverse materials (such as steel, stone, cement, plastic, wood), with the use of water-jet launch, through a special tool (pistol), exerting high pressure on the surface.
Hydroblasting cleaning is a suitable way of cleaning, displaying several advantages, such as the most effective cleaning of the surface, the non- damage of the surface, its applicability under high humidity conditions, the avoidance of environmental contamination and the safety of the method. Its main disadvantage is that following the cleaning procedure, the surface becomes wet and definitely inappropriate for the application of color, unless special moisture-resistant primers can be used.

Hydroblasting method is practiced, for several years, in shipbuilding and ship-repair industry, for the preparatory cleaning or “wash down” of the surfaces of the ships, before the main stage of cleaning. There is also the possibility of hydroblasting in combination with abrasive media (hydrosandblasting).
