The Question
During industrial cleaning processes, employees often use high-pressure water jets. These are handheld and they put continued strain on the arms and joints of employees which, over time, can lead to repetitive strain injuries and overall discomfort.
Our Answer
With the GomBuster, we have improved ergonomics, portability and dexterity during pressure cleaning. A brace allows the recoil to be taken by the arm instead of the wrist, while a manipulable nozzle allows for precision, and a body harnas relieves the need to constantly pull the hose along. We are continuously iterating and improving the prototype.
