Cavitation cleaning is a highly effective method for maintaining underwater structures, utilizing vapor cavities that implode upon impact to generate shockwaves exceeding 15,000 bar. This process removes marine fouling, corrosion, and unstable coatings from ship hulls, propellers, thrusters, and submerged infrastructure like oil rig jackets, pipelines and concrete pillars while preserving delicate surfaces. Low operational water pressure reduces risk to expensive marine coatings.

Cavitation is the most effective and gentle method for underwater structures cleaning from maritime organic growth

Subsea Formula cavitation guns are specifically used by divers to clean complex surfaces. These guns help to remove hard marine fouling on the hull and can treat hard algae, shellfish, and shell fouling or soft barnacle and shell fouling.

Zero-Thrust Cavitation Cleaning Guns

Subsea Formula zero-thrust cavitation cleaning guns are designed to minimize recoil. They use a backward-facing lance to counteract the forward thrust, effectively neutralizing the recoil force. By eliminating the constant push-back effect, divers can work for longer periods without exhaustion. Minimal recoil allows for more accurate and controlled cleaning, especially in tight spaces or on delicate surfaces.

Traditional Cavitation Cleaning Guns

Traditional cavitation guns with recoil have several advantages over zero-thrust alternatives:

• Higher power output
• Simplicity and reliability
• Cost-effectiveness
• Versatility in confined spaces
• Feedback to the operator
