Skid cleaning

Land Rover Vehicles has specified Hughes Pumps water jetting equipment for an innovative and environmentally friendly skid cleaning facility that's designed to be an efficient and cost effective way of removing over spayed paint on skids used to transport Range Rover, Discovery and Land Rover bodies through the company's paint shop.

Previously Land Rover had sent the paint skids off-site where paint deposits were burnt off in ovens. Not only has water jetting proved more environmentally friendly as it uses only clean water, but the new skid cleaning facility has also enabled skids to be cleaned on-line without disruption to production.
