the company hk industrie from hoerdt received the order to clean around 700 m² of floor area on the inclined ship's lifting equipment. the surfaces had to be cleaned of grease and bitumen residues. hk industrie rented the 500 bar high pressure blasting unit falch T5H to do the job. the use of hot water removed the grease and bitumen residues in just a few seconds!
managing director raul sampaio war very impressed!
in just six days the complete area was cleaned. the ship's lifting equipment saint-louis / arzviller in french lorraine overcomes a height difference of 44.55 m as part of the rhine-marne canal. the lifting process takes approx. 25 minutes - up to 40 ships can be put through this lock per day.
