Ship hull blasting includes technology such as sandblasting, high pressure cleaning, ultra high pressure water jetting.

Manual Sandblasting: Manual sandblasting remains a main method in marine industry. Manual sandblasting offers high flexibility while it is inherently slow and inefficient.

Manual Hydroblasting: Ship hydroblasting uses pressurized water, especially ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water jets (typically 10,000 to 40,000+ PSI) to strip away marine growth, heavy rust, and old coatings. But handheld operation exposes workers to severe hazards like flying debris, waste paints.

Magnetic Crawler Robot Hydroblasting & Sandblasting: Magnetic crawler robot is a great breakthrough for steel ship hull blasting. The magnetic crawler robot carry the heavy blasting guns working at dangerous height while your personel control safely from the ground. Compared with manual open blasting, Robotic blasters operate faster, require less manpower and involve minimal cleanup.

AKA Robotics has different types of UHP hydroblasting robot, including WallHiker W-06. WallHiker W-03, WallHiker H-01 for variety blasting senarios in ship repair services. Ultra High-Pressure hydroblasting (also called water jetting), or UHP hydroblasting, is simply the practice of surface preparation using highly pressurized water force to removing rust and paint from a substrate. Our robotic UHP hydroblasting system includes 16 nozzles close blasting magnetic crawler robot withstand water pressure up to 40,000 PSI, making it incredibly powerful and effective. Remote controller for blaster to control the direction of robot. The auxilary equipment typically includes a ultra-high-pressure pump to generate the necessary force, and vacuum reclaim system to collect waste water for eco-blasting.

WallHiker W-04 sandblasting/grit blasting/ abrasive blasting robot is specially engineered for ship hull surface preparation. The robot can efficiently remove rust and paint from hull surface, creating thoroughly cleaning anchor surface for new coating application. The operator remotely control the robot moving and blasting speed to adjust blasting results precisely.

Hull cleaning above the waterline refers to removing marine growth and fouling from the exterior surface of a ship above the waterline.

Above water line cleaning is essential for maintaining vessel presentation, safety and compliance, especially when the vessel is in ballast or low draft, exposing large areas of fouled hull. These areas accumulate marine growth, algae, rust stains, salt deposits and even oil marks, which significantly affect inspections, draft readability and overall vessel condition.

At AKA Robotics, our WallHiker CH-02 high pressure water jet cleaning robot specifically designed for above-water cleaning, ensuring efficient remove marine growth, salt deposits and surface contaminants without damaging the coating —helping you maintain optimal hull condition .
