Removing efflorescence from clinker brick is a frequent concern, especially in Northern Germany. White salt deposits on a clinker façade are not only visually unappealing but often indicate that the bricks have contained salts since the manufacturing process. As soon as moisture penetrates the masonry, salts and lime migrate to the surface. The result is the typical white stains and crystalline deposits on the brick surface.
Until now, these types of contamination have usually been treated with chemicals or high-pressure cleaning. The problem: these methods often deliver only short-term results and can place additional stress on the surface. Anyone who wants to remove efflorescence from clinker permanently needs a method that cleans thoroughly without introducing more moisture into the masonry.
Removing Efflorescence from Clinker
Without Water, Without Chemicals, Without High Pressure
With the patented Tornado ACS cleaning machine by systeco, an innovative solution is available for gently removing efflorescence from clinker brick. The machine uses a forward-looking vacuum blasting technology combined with a special granulate – completely without water and without chemicals.
This minimally abrasive cleaning technology enables particularly environmentally friendly treatment of sensitive surfaces. Unlike high-pressure cleaning, the efflorescence is not forced deeper into the masonry but is carefully removed from the surface. This makes it possible to remove efflorescence from clinker thoroughly and without residue.
Why Vacuum Blasting Is Superior for Removing Efflorescence from Clinker
The granulate used in the process operates in a closed-loop system and can be reused up to 100 times. During cleaning, salt and lime deposits are reliably removed without unnecessarily stressing the clinker surface or the mortar joints. The result: clean clinker bricks, clean joints, and a visibly enhanced masonry façade.
Another advantage is that all removed material remains within the closed system and is disposed of only during filter cleaning. This allows virtually dust-free operation, even in sensitive environments or areas with public traffic. In most cases, no special protective clothing or advanced technical expertise is required to operate the system.
Safely Remove Even Heavy Lime Deposits
The Tornado ACS is not only effective against salt efflorescence but can also remove thick lime deposits from clinker surfaces. Even stubborn residues can be efficiently eliminated using the minimally abrasive cleaning process. This makes the technology particularly valuable for professional façade cleaning and the maintenance of clinker masonry.
