CAVITATION
Underwater cleaning Cavi-Jet technology
is based on a cavitation effect* that is used for the high speed
destruction and removal of marine growth of any thickness (seaweed,
shells, coral), rust, and peeling paint without damaging the hull
or protective coating. The surface can be cleaned to bare metal
depending on the selected operating mode for the cavitating stream.

Cavi-jet equipment
uses outboard sea or river water, creating a speed cavitation
jet with a microscopic steam of bubbles under 80 - 150 Bar
with a capacity of 200 l/min (standard pumping plants).
Upon contact with the surface being cleaned, these bubbles
implode. The result of this implosion is the destruction
of marine growth and rust, and its removal from the work
area. During this process, pressure on the area reaches
up to 10,000 Bar.

bubbles in a liquid due to alternating positive and negative pressure.
