UltraStrip M3500
Overview

The NREC designed, built and tested the centerpiece of the semi-automated paint removal system that now is in everyday use and available for commercial sale by UltraStrip Systems, Inc.

UltraStrip’s M3500 is the most technologically advanced solution in the world for sweeping and removal of coatings on ships’ hulls and other surfaces. Controlled with a wireless joystick and using patented air gap magnets, it glides effortlessly at speeds up to 51 cm/sec (20 in/sec) along the sides and underneath ships’ hulls while delivering 55,000 psi water to remove paint without marring surfaces.





The UltraStrip system, which includes a powerful vacuum and patented, EPA-approved filtration system, lowers paint stripping and sweeping costs, shortens dry dock stays, and has received widespread recognition for technical innovation (read the Fortune 500 article) and protecting the environment (UltraStrip received the Seatrade Award for "Countering Marine and Atmospheric Pollution” from Princess Anne.)
