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.
