Water jetting machine is a high-pressure cleaning device that uses a powerful jet of water to remove dirt, debris, grease, paint, scale, and other unwanted substances from surfaces, pipelines, and equipment. It operates by pressurizing water through a pump and forcing it out through a nozzle at pressures ranging from 1,500 PSI to over 50,000 PSI, depending on the machine and application.
Water jetting machines are powered by electric motors, diesel engines, or hydraulic systems and are equipped with various nozzles to suit specific tasks. They provide an environmentally friendly and efficient cleaning method that minimizes the need for chemicals or abrasive materials.
Applications of Water Jetting Machines
