Rustibus is designed to de-scale and power brush ship decks, hatch covers, tank tops, etc. free from old coating and rust. These standards are obtained without time consuming and costly methods of removing old paint and rust. Rustibus are the most powerful mechanical de-scalers available and do not damage the steel surface beneath. The Rustibus de-scaling machines have been in operation since 1978 and have proven themselves to be reliable and requiring a minimum of maintenance. The key to the success of Rustibus is the use of specially prepared chain links to achieve these results. Rustibus can be operated by one person with no special training. All Rustibus models are delivered ready to use,with a operation - safety manual and spare parts list. SAFE EDGE by RUSTIBUS is a quality, durable and reliable product. Manufactured with a high visibility foot-rail and reflective cover that protects when the inspection hatch is open. It’s simple fitting and locking mechanism makes this a safer environment for your crew and maintenance teams, day and night. In the Summer of 2018 we launched the “Rustibus Clean Ocean Initiative (RCOI)”. The “Rustibus Clean Ocean Initiative” is a global program where we will promote and collaborate with our clients to reduce plastic & waste in the oceans. www.rustibus.com

    I am enclosing some pdf's and information for you and your Technical Team's reference and perusal in regards to deck maintenance onboard your vessels.

    Below are some advantages of using RUSTIBUS as part of your onboard maintenance program.

    • Very user friendly (one man operation without specialized training/equipment required).
    • Very easy to change and administrate consumable parts.
    • Useful & comprehensive operation manual to help maximize the consumption of the machine and consumable parts.
    • Using RUSTIBUS first prior to grit blasting, helps one attain SA 2½ much easier and more efficiently.
    • Patented “chain link” system does not damage steel surface and will not cause pitting within the steel, (pitting in the steel will cause air bubbles under the paint surface and the rust will continue to work accordingly).
    • The advantage of our patented Chain Link Technology allows the user to control the preparation of the surface according to the requirements at that time. Thus, RUSTIBUS is able to manage and maintain the important and expensive zinc silicate primer if in a good condition. However, should the primer need to be removed, RUSTIBUS is capable of achieving this.
    • Quality Norwegian products for reliability.
    • When used in the correct process during ship surface preparation and maintenance following the removal of chlorides from steel surface, RUSTIBUS helps to create the appropriate surface in order for repainting.
    • RUSTIBUS 2000– 25 to 30 m² per hour average, (chain drum lifetime of approximately 500m²).
    • RUSTIBUS 1600- 20-22 m² per hour average.
    • RUSTIBUS 1200– 15 to 18 m² per hour average, (chain drum lifetime of approximately 225m²).
    • RUSTIBUS 400 - 4 to 6 m² per hour average, (chain drum lifetime of approximately 75m²).
    • RUSTIBUS 30 - (Comparing to other hand tools i.e. needle guns, flexible shaft scalers and chipping hammers, the RUSTIBUS 30 series descales up to 10 times faster)
  • RUSTIBUS R1200 Electric / Pneumatic

  • RUSTIBUS R25 Profiler
    The Rustibus® 25 Series, known as our Mini Blaster or Profiler is a lightweight hand tool designed for quick and efficient removal of coatings, corrosion, scale and filler....

  • These machines are much faster, offer more flexibility, deliver far better results and are more userfriendly compared to scaling hammers, flexible shaft scalers, etc. And with proper use can create a near ‘grit blasted’ profile. The Rustibus® 25 Series is ideal for spot-scaling (horizontal and vertical), along welds, around flanges and have proven to be very efficient for ballast tank maintenance. They are also ideal for creating a fethered edge on overlap areas of paint. The Rustibus® 25 is designed to acheive a profile surface of approximately 50 Microns (2mils) with a surface cleanliness of ST 3+++. It can be used on steel, non-ferrous metals , plastic, epoxy coatings and even rubber to create an anchor profile at a speed of approximately 100cm2 per minute. These units require very little maintenance. The Steel Belts are the main consumable part. When the Steel is fully worn simply replace it with a new one without the need to repair it – simple and cost effective. FEATURES AND BENEFITS • Handy size scaling machine for small horizontal and vertical areas. • Perfect for damage sensitive areas.. e.g. paint removel from bolt theads on flanges. • High quality construction and ergonomic design. • Able to obtain ST3 +++ (SSPC-SP11 +++) without damaging the steel! • With proper use can obtain near `grit-blasted´ profiles. • Has a selection of consumables available for different surfaces and jobs. • Delivered ready for use
  • RUSTIBUS R20 Needle/Chisel Scaler
    The Rustibus® 20 is a versatile hand tool, combining a Needle and
    Chisel Scaler in one machine, making it ideal for use in corners, on
    pipe joints and other hard to reach areas....
