Surfaces are easy to clean gently with the torbo method.
The cleaning can consist of different causes and the surface of the most different materials, the goal is always identical – the surface should be clean, but not damaged.
When it comes to cleaning, knowledge and technology are crucial. There are many devices and means for cleaning, but only a few are really suitable. If the goal is to preserve the patina, the use of incorrect equipment or high operating pressure will not produce the desired result.
However, if you have the knowledge and the experience, you still need the perfect technique to deliver a perfect job.
The requirements are clear! torbo offers you a device that is can be easily and variably adjusted, works with any blasting media that is heavier than water, and at the same time is environmentally-friendly and has low operating costs.
