Water Blasting Automation Solutions

Precision. Safety. Power — Engineered for High-Pressure Industrial Cleaning

High-pressure water blasting is an essential process across heavy industries, used for surface preparation, equipment maintenance, hydro-demolition, scale removal, and pipe cleaning. But manual operation of these systems introduces serious risks, operational inconsistencies, and equipment strain.

At Telemation, we develop robust, automated water blasting control systems that combine power with precision. Built for high-pressure environments, our solutions offer advanced pump control, safety interlocks, operator-friendly HMIs, and wireless operation, ensuring performance without compromise.

The Need for Water Blasting Automation

Manual water blasting setups often involve direct operator engagement with live hoses, inconsistent pressure control, and limited visibility into system performance. The result? Elevated risk of injury, inefficient fluid usage, and unpredictable wear on pumps and nozzles.

Telemation’s smart automation systems for water blasting address these challenges with:

  • Full remote control of pressure and flow

  • Real-time fault and safety feedback

  • System interlocks to prevent misuse

  • Predictive diagnostics to reduce downtime

  • Precise pressure sequencing for multiple blasting applications

Core Capabilities of Our Water Blasting Control System

High-Pressure Pump Control

Our automation platform enables safe, dynamic management of high-pressure pump functions, including:

  • Soft start/stop sequences

  • Load-sensitive variable pressure control

  • Real-time pressure ramping and holding

  • VSD integration for motor and pump efficiency

Whether operating at 10,000 PSI or more, we ensure controlled output with smooth response across various blasting nozzles and systems.

Operator Interface & Diagnostics

Operators access full system control through ruggedised HMI displays such as the CCpilot VA or VI, with features including:

  • Live pressure, temperature, and flow readings

  • Alarm and fault history

  • Blast mode selection and automated cycle control

  • Maintenance reminders and service logs

Displays can be mounted on equipment or remotely accessed via Smart Connect for off-site diagnostics.

Wireless Control for Safety & Mobility

Remote operation is essential in high-risk blasting environments. We integrate wireless transmitters (e.g. Puma T26 or Tiger T11) to allow:

  • Safe start/stop at distance

  • On-the-fly pressure adjustment

  • Emergency shutdown from any operator position

  • Multi-user access with permission tiers

Wireless controls ensure personnel are always in a safe location during blasting procedures.

Built-In Safety Protocols

Water blasting involves dangerous pressure levels. Our systems include:

  • Pressure limit interlocks

  • Emergency shutdown sequences

  • Nozzle detection and lockout logic

  • Over-temperature and over-vibration sensors

  • System lockdown during pressure leaks or hose rupture

These built-in controls help mitigate risks and enforce site safety policies.

Suitable Applications for Water Blasting Automation

Our solutions serve a wide range of industries and operational scenarios, including:

  • Mining equipment cleaning

  • Oil & gas rig maintenance

  • Marine hull and deck preparation

  • Concrete removal and hydro-demolition

  • Pipe and tube scale removal

  • Industrial tank cleaning and descaling

We work with contractors, OEMs, and service providers to customise control platforms that integrate seamlessly into mobile trailers, truck-mounted systems, and fixed pump installations.
