Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an improved high efficiency hydro-sandblasting and/or hydro-cleaning machine.
- There are already known hydro-sandblasting and hydro-cleaning machines, which usually comprise a motor-pump unit which supplies, by pressurized water, a lance or nozzle element which is provided, along the pressurized water delivery duct, with a neck portion where is coupled a pipe communicating with a sand tank so as to provide, by a Venturi-type of effect, and as required, suction on sand material which is delivered together with the pressurized water supplied by the motor-pump unit.
- These prior hydro-sandblasting and hydro-cleaning machines, however, in order to provide satisfactorily results with respect to the operation efficiency, must be separately driven by high power electric motors, so as to supply water at a comparatively high pressure and flow-rate.
- Actually, even by using great power motors, it is not possible to provide, in all of the operating conditions, a very high efficiency in these prior machines.
- In this connection, it is to be pointed out that frequently the operating places where these machines are operated do not comprise three-phase current thereby it is necessary to provide for use of a hydro-sandblasting and/or hydro-cleaning machine including at least a motor-pump unit or assembly adapted to be driven by a single-phase electric motor.
- Obviously, if a three-phase supply is available, then it will be possible to exploit larger powers and, accordingly, two or more motor-pump units, either of a single-phase or of a three-phase type, can be simultaneously driven, or individually driven, so as to improve the operating efficiency.
- In the light of the above discussion, the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a hydro-sandblasting and/or hydro-cleaning machine which includes two or more motor-pump units or assemblies, either of a single-phase and/or a three-phase type, which can be either separately or simultaneously driven, so as to allow one or more operator to operate with a very high efficiency in all of the possible operating conditions.
- Within the scope of the above mentioned aim, a main object of the present invention is to provide such a machine which is specifically designed for always operating even under limited power supply conditions.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such a machine which is very flexible in operation and can be used in all of the building places under any power supply conditions.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such an improved hydro-sandblasting and/or hydro-cleaning machine which can be controlled by a single operator.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such a machine which is very reliable and safe in operation.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, the above mentioned aim and objects, as well as yet other objects, which will become more apparent hereinafter, are achieved by an improved high efficiency hydro-sandblasting and/or hydro-cleaning machine, comprising a frame, provided with displacement wheels, supporting at least two motor-pump units, driven by respective electric motors and each being provided, at the outlet thereof, with a delivery duct, which are coupled to a delivery assembly which comprises at least two nozzle elements which can be mutually connected and driven either separately or simultaneously, said frame supporting moreover a sand tank including at least two outlet fittings which are coupled, through respective pipes, to said delivery assembly nozzle elements, in order to deliver a pressurized liquid supplied by said motor-pump units, as well as a sand material.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent hereinafter from the following detailed disclosure of a preferred embodiment of an improved machine, to be used as a hydro-sandblasting and/or hydro-cleaning machine, according to the present invention, which has been illustrated, by way of an indicative, but not limitative, example, in the figures of the accompanying drawings, where:

delivery assembly 8 comprises at least two lance or nozzle elements 9a and 9b which are connected to one another so as to be simultaneously operated by a single operator. - More specifically, the motor-
pump units 5a and 5b are provided, near the connection portion of thedelivery ducts 7a and 7b, with valve assemblies of any known type, which are driven so as to supply, either simultaneously or individually, the lance or nozzle elements 9a and 9b. - Moreover, on the outlet of the motor-
pump units 5a and 5b there are providedpressure gauges - The nozzle elements 9a and 9b of the
delivery assembly 8 are provided withrespective handles related operating levers 12a and 12b, which can be operated either individually or simultaneously, depending on requirements. - The mentioned lance or nozzle elements, in particular, can also be separately operated by several operators.
