WELCOME TO

QUILL FALCON

The Quill Fal on Cy lone system is a pre ision dustless blasting system whi h ombines

the simpli ity of onventional dry blasting with the eﬀe tiveness of ultra-high pressure

(UHP) jetting without the asso iated hazards and ompli ations. The patented Cy lone

system rapidly removes oatings, orrosion and residues leaving surfa es ontaminant

free, proﬁled and leaned to SSPC-SP5 - SSPC-SP10 (WAB)/NACE WAB 1.

From the heavy task of blasting through reinfor ed on rete to the more deli ate and

detailed operation of et hing glass, the Quill Fal on Cy lone systems apabilities are

endless. By varying the volumes of air, water and grit, the speed, surfa e proﬁle and grit

onsumption an be altered to suit you and your job requirements.

Whether you are blasting away orrosion as part of a maintenan e programme,

removing oatings for inspe tion purposes or removing material and residues that are no

longer required the Quill Fal on Cy lone system will provide you with lean ontaminant

free proﬁled surfa es in se onds.

HOW DOES THE QUILL FALCON

CYCLONE WORK?

The blast media is oated in a water ja ket by

surfa e tension, whi h in reases the speed and

mass enhan ing the for e of impa t upon the

blast surfa e. Water presen e lubri ates and

eliminates hose and nozzle wear.

The blast media hits the surfa e, the water

ja ket ontinues moving but still holds onto the

blast media by surfa e tension. The water

ja ket hits the surfa e and prevents any grit

boun e.

The water ja ket snaps round the blast media

into the ra k under the blast surfa e and

hydrostati ally blasts a larger amount of

surfa e oating away.

The end result is a proﬁled surfa e, feathered

edges and the most eﬃ ient use of the least

amount of blast media and water.

WHY IS THE QUILL FALCON

CYCLONE BETTER THAN A

WET OR DRY BLASTER?

Cleans and roﬁles surfaces so

new coatings stick better for

longer

No s arks or dust cloud, meaning

excellent safety and visibility and

no lant shut down required

Ex rated, Zone 1 a roved,

Baseefa accredited, TuV, ATEX

and NORSOK com liant

123

Environmentally friendly as uses

far less grit and water, which

means less dust, less

containment and less clearing u

Patented design allows

o eratives greater control and

recision over the entire blast

rocess

Can be used on a wide variety of

surfaces including ﬁbreglass,

wood, brick, glass, concrete,

steel and aluminium
