2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CaviBlaster 3040-E60 high-pressure water power unit is designed to use water flow

and pressure to generate cavitation at the end of the proprietary nozzle.

The CaviBlaster cleans the surface of any underwater structure using the energy

released by the implosion of the bubbles created during the cavitation process. When

directed at the surface being cleaned, the energy released by the collapsing bubbles

causes marine growth to be removed from the surface.

The system consists of a portable, zero-thrust gun, connecting high-pressure hose and

an electric motor-powered, high-pressure pumping unit. The zero-thrust gun uses a

trigger-operated valve to control the water stream off and on. If the valve is closed, the

power unit goes into bypass mode unloading the engine and the pump.

The CaviBlaster 3040-E60 power unit is a complete “plug and play” system built into a

self-supporting frame that allows quick deployment and/or installation of the unit. Water

can be supplied from either a pressurized source, directly from the natural source via an

electric feed pump supplied with the power unit, or from a gravity feed storage tank.

The unit is equipped with many features to maintain operator safety while operating at

pressures of 4,000 psi (276 BAR) with safety overload protection rating to 5,000 psi

(344 BAR).
