Why torbo?

The economic solution.

You can rely on our wet sand blasting machines to remove any contamination quickly and without damage to surfaces while at the same time reducing costs. Our customers are satisfied over the long term because they save on time and material and increase their long-term efficiency.

Our philosophy can be reduced to one very simple formula:

Less effort + less blast abrasive + lower costs = higher efficiency and higher customer satisfaction

The SoftLine models

Small but powerful!

The SoftLine machines are the smallest devices for the simple, effective and gentle cleaning of monuments and facades. They don’t need an extra air dryer, no extra water hose to the nozzle and no heavy or expensive nozzle. Thanks to the control system, the blasting media mixture (80% blasting abrasive and 20% water) and extra water is metered out irrespective of compressed air, so that you can adjust the parameters independently of each other.

  • 60 l vessel
  • 1/2″ Compressed air connection
  • 2,8 m³ Compressed air max./minute

Our Softline XS is a specialist for all delicate work. It removes all kinds of dirt – even on highly sensitive surfaces such as natural stone monuments. The structure of the object remains completely intact and is not damaged.

  • 60 l vessel
  • 3/4″ Compressed air connection
  • 4,0 m³ Compressed air max./minute

The SoftLine S is the blasting device for simple, effective and gentle cleaning of monuments and facades. It does not require a separate air dryer, no extra water hose and no heavy or expensive jet nozzle.

torbo M to L

The specialists for all needs!

Challenges are their specialty. The torbos of the classes M and L have been specially developed for daily use and they are available in 2 versions and 2 vessel sizes each for you.

The M-version has been specially developed for gentle work, also cleans delicate surfaces thoroughly and leaves even brilliant results when other blasting devices have to give up a long time ago. The cleaning of facades, sandstone monuments, the use during restoration work or the removal of graffiti are just as much to its range of applications such as the careful historic preservation with receipt of the patina or the rays of ornaments on glass.

The specialty of the L-version is its diverse range of uses. The specially developed for the all-round demand system is characterized in daily use. The gentle removal of even stubborn encrustations of sensitive surfaces is just as much to its range of applications such as the removal of concrete slurry and layers of paint, or the use of fire restoration.

  • 80 l vessel
  • 1″ Compressed air connection
  • 6,0 m³ Compressed air max./minute

The M-version has been specially developed for gentle work, also cleans delicate surfaces thoroughly and leaves even brilliant results when other blasting devices have to give up a long time ago.

  • 120 l vessel
  • 1 1/2″ Compressed air connection
  • 10,0 m³ Compressed air max./minute

The specialty of the L-version is its diverse range of uses. The gentle removal of even stubborn encrustations of sensitive surfaces is just as much to its range of applications such as the removal of concrete slurry and layers of paint, or the use of fire restoration.

The XL models

May it be a little bit more…?

Devices of this class are characterized by a large vessel volume and therefore they only need 1 to 4 vessel fills in a day.

  • 240 l vessel
  • 2″ Compressed air connection
  • 15,0 m³ Compressed air max./minute

Our XL-version has plenty of power for any remedial measure. With ease it handles the removal of concrete slurry, the removal of old paint and the deburring and descaling of metals, as well as the removal of oxidation layers on steel.

  • 240 l vessel
  • 2″ Compressed air connection
  • Additional dosing for blasting media

The XLS version is our specialist for steel and concrete refurbishment. Wherever power is required, the torbo XLS is way ahead. Especially ship refurbishment (Dry docks) have long trusted in the strength of our “Giant”. Available with 320 l vessel, ATEX version or stainless steel cabinet.
