GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CaviBlaster® 1325-D high-pressure water power unit allows the operator to use the
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 cavitation bubbles during the cavitation process. When
directed at the surface being cleaned, the energy released by the collapsing cavitation
bubbles causes marine growth to be removed from the surface.
The system consists of a portable, zero-thrust gun, connecting high-pressure hose and
a diesel-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.

undesirable running condition for the centrifugal clutch.
The CaviBlaster® 1325-D 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 booster 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 2,500 psi 172 BAR).
