NALTA Remote Hydrodemolition System for Smaller-Scale Jobs

NALTA remote-controlled hydrodemolition lance close-up — the oscillating head working a concrete surface in a petrochemical environment

To compliment our large scale Robotic Hydroblasting Operations, Gnat UK also deploy NALTA Systems — designed to replace hand lances for a large number of smaller scale Hydrodemolition applications. They deliver much greater output than hand lancing, and being Remotely Operated, significantly improve Operator Safety.

Similar to our ERGO systems, the NALTA's deliver much greater output than hand-lancing and being Remotely Operated significantly improves Operator Safety.

Working parameters are controlled via the intuitive remote panel, and operation is automatic. The NALTA is supplied with high-pressure water from a standard hand-lance pump and can operate on flat and curved surfaces with a radius as small as 400mm.

It consists of a feed beam with an oscillating lance, a hydraulic unit and a radio remote control box.

The NALTA is mainly used for the Hydrodemolition of reinforced concrete but is also suitable for other applications, such as surface preparation and descaling of steel.
