Concrete is often one of the most difficult substances to break up and remove from municipal sewer lines. Fortunately Aquajet offers the Super Lance 3000 system for ultimate concrete removal versatility.
The system includes multiple parts — such as elbows, lance extensions and different nozzles — to give operators more control over the concrete removal depth and as many options as possible to achieve an ideal result.
“Aquajet is at the frontline of product development, giving customers a variety of tools to ensure maximum utilization of their Aqua Cutters and enable the benefits of hydrodemolition in nearly every application,” says Roger Simonsson, Aquajet managing director. “The Super Lance system is a well-thought-out solution to enhance our already innovative hydrodemolition robots.”
Each element of the system serves an important purpose to help contractors problem-solve. Elbows help operators navigate tricky obstacles while lance extensions can be stacked to create the correct length required for the application. The dual/triple nozzle head is compatible with all lances and lance extensions, elbows and rotolances. The nozzle heads split the waterjet to impact the concrete at multiple points, allowing it to cover more surface area in each pass. For example, this allows an operator who is working with a powerful high-pressure pump to effectively execute a shallower removal of 1 to 2 inches. Without the dual/triple nozzle, a contractor with a 500-plus hp pump would typically maximize speed and oscillation to avoid cutting too deeply. But this can compromise the quality of the result.
By diffusing the waterjet, the operator can decrease the machine’s speed while retaining a shallow cut. When the rotolance, Aquajet’s surface preparation tool, is configured with the dual and triple nozzle heads, it provides rotational hydrodemolition for effective shallow removals.
“The lance is what the entire robot is designed around, so naturally we never stop researching and developing ways to improve it for our customers,” Simonsson says. “The Super Lance is adaptable to a number of different applications and fits with existing Aqua Cutter robots, giving contractors another tool to make their businesses more efficient and profitable.”
The system is compatible with Aquajet’s ceramic nozzles, engineered for extreme durability and is distributed in the U.S. by Brokk.
