New sever duty water cannons from Akron
According to Akron, designed for specific demands in rugged mining environments in Australia, Akron’s new sever duty water cannons have withstood rigorous laboratory and field testing.
Akron worked closely with prospective mining customers throughout the development of this product.
Dependability and serviceability were key criteria in its design and Akron Brass has delivered.

UHMW-PE Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene:
- UHMW Polymer is a linear polyethylene with a molecular weight in the range of 3,000,000 to 6,000,000. This value represents the average molecular weight.
- Therefore, UHMW Polymers have a molecular weight average 10 times that of conventional high density polyethylene resins.
- The higher molecular weight is what gives UHMW Polymers a unique combination of characteristics making it more suitable for many applications where lower molecular weight grades fail.
- Advantages of UHMW-PE Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene:
- The high abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic polymer
- Outstanding impact strength even at low temperatures
- A good sliding material due to the low coefficient of friction Self-lubricating (non-caking and sticking)
- Sound dampening properties Good chemical and stress cracking resistance, easily machined
It is:
- Compact sized
- Low centre of gravity
- High performance nozzle options
- Proven electrical package
- Choice of power supply packages
- Maintenance free swivel joint
- Interchangeable motor drives
- Common parts inventory
- Simple to install
- Push to shoot Joystick trigger
