in a variety of congurations to accommodate
dierent waterblasting operations. The heads can
mounted together on either side of the arm or
one blasting head on each side of the arm. The
distance between the blasting heads or from the
helac cylinder to the blasting head is also adjust-

secure the spray heads and other tubular head
plate components in the desired position.

independently controlled by the PLC, which allows
the operator to choose various speeds between
