Shipbuilder Impressed with EcoQuip 2 Abrasive Blaster for Dry Dock
M&M Industrial used Graco’s EcoQuip 2 at Swiftships for an abrasive blasting job of a ship. The Swiftships’ people were impressed with how little water and media the machine used compared to other wet and dry blasting units they had tried before. Additionally, there was also a dramatical improvement in waste management and abrasive containment issues.
Moreover, EcoQuip’s ability to remove soluble salts is an additional performance benefit, as it increases the longevity of coatings. On top of that, EcoQuip 2 Vapour Abrasive blasting machines are environmentally friendly, because they reduce dust by up to 92% less than traditional dry blasting machines.
