Jetstream, a leading manufacturer of ultra high-pressure (UHP) water blasting equipment, is making waves with its innovative approach to surface preparation and coating removal. Jordan Koster, Product & Marketing Manager at Jetstream, highlighted how their high-pressure water technology removes coatings without altering the original surface profile, ensuring a cleaner and more effective preparation for reapplication.
A game-changer in surface preparation
Jetstream stands out in the industry by offering UHP water blasting solutions capable of delivering up to 40,000 PSI for industrial applications.
Water blasting is significantly different in the fact that when we take off of a coating, we’re not applying or creating a new surface profile. We’re going to bring it back down to the original surface profile that the coating was put on with.

Unlike conventional abrasive blasting, which can introduce contaminants and alter the substrate, Jetstream’s water blasting ensures a residue-free surface, improving adhesion and longevity of coatings.
Advanced equipment for maximum coating removal efficiency
At the Jetstream booth, attendees at AMPP 2024 had the chance to see some of the company’s most advanced solutions in action:
- Tornado Shotgun – A high-powered, air-operated tool used alongside Jetstream’s 300-400 HP water blasting systems, delivering up to 40,000 PSI of pressure. Ideal for precision work in hard-to-reach areas.
- MagTrak by Dirk Salitek – An automated robotic system designed for large-scale surface preparation, capable of achieving production rates of 50-100 square meters per hour, reaching a white metal clean standard.
Expanding applications across industries
Jetstream’s coating removal technology is particularly beneficial for oil and gas industry applications, including:
- Oil & Gas – Cleaning tanks and terminals for product changeovers and inspections. UHP technology ensures complete removal of residues without damaging the structure.
- Industrial & Infrastructure Maintenance – Efficient removal of failed coatings and preparation for corrosion-resistant applications.
- Residential Pool Maintenance – Precision removal of deteriorated plaster without damaging the underlying structure, reducing material waste and improving efficiency.
