From cemetery going online directly

In Berlin the three jewish cemeteries are already using a qr-code. At each entrance you find an engraved QR-code (Quick-Response-Code). The square, black and white pattern is scanned with the camera of a smartphone and takes you directly online to the memorial website.

Then the jet cap is placed on the surface to be machined and started the suction unit. The vacuum was achieved by the jet cap which adheres to the surface. The blast media is sucked through a spray lance onto the surface and hits there with about 400 km / h. The suction unit takes the blast media right back up. Abrasive and removal are separated by a cyclone principle. That way no dust develops during the blasting process, it is environmentally friendly and the blast media doesn´t have to be collected or swept. With the vacuum blast method it is worked in continuous circulation. The granules can be re-used up to 100 times.
