I believe Squadron Yachts took over the 18 after Nowank & Williams shut down (for what reason I don't know).

What is The Farrow SystemŽ?

The Farrow SystemŽ is a revolutionary, cost effective, and environmentally safe surface cleaning and preparation method that quickly removes coatings, oxidation, dirt, and graffiti from most surfaces without damaging them.

Why do you say it will do the impossible?

The Farrow SystemŽ will clean surfaces that are impossible to clean using any other method, and at speeds that will leave you amazed! It will remove the toughest coatings, yet is easily adjusted to clean the most fragile surfaces without damage. From removing corrosion on a battleship to the printed label on an aluminum soda can, The Farrow SystemŽ does it all!

How long has The Farrow SystemŽ been in use?

The Farrow SystemŽ was introduced in 1998 to the marine industry in order to efficiently and safely remove anti-foul coatings from the hulls of boats. The Farrow System'sŽ controlled cleaning technique left the fiberglass, wood and steel surfaces of the underlying boat hulls free from damage and amazingly clean. The range of applications quickly expanded for the Farrow SystemŽ and today it is used around the world as an environmentally friendly cleaning solution both inside and outdoors.

Is The Farrow SystemŽ safe? How about its environmental impact?

The Farrow SystemŽ is environmentally friendly and doesn't use any chemicals or chemical byproducts. Our Farrow Green CleanŽ cleaning media is non-toxic which means that after use, it can be disposed of easily and properly. Dust levels are suppressed within the vaporized elements of Farrow Green CleanŽ , therefore allowing this extremely low-pressure cleaning method to be used safely outdoors, within populated urban areas and even in enclosed environments.

How quickly does The Farrow SystemŽ clean?

After a short set up time of about 15 minutes, precise and evenly textured finishes on virtually all surfaces are easily achieved in a fraction of time. Initial cleaning procedures are fast, and surface cleaning speeds are at least twice as fast as outdated abrasive blasting methods.

How easy is The Farrow SystemŽ to use?

Operating The Farrow SystemŽ is as easy as washing your car. No special skills are required to begin cleaning. After a short learning period, an operator can achieve a wide range of cleaning finishes by making minor adjustments to the air pressure, water distribution and Farrow Green CleanŽ media sizes. Operators have a full 180 degree view of the surfaces being cleaned through the vapor-like cleaning stream.

How costly is The Farrow SystemŽ to use?

Because cleaning speeds are so quick, media usage is typically less than half that of conventional abrasive blasting. Project start to finish times are typically cut in half, saving labor costs and keeping you on schedule. With the controlled accuracy and low pressures used by The Farrow SystemŽ, little or no tenting or containment is required to protect adjacent buildings, equipment, or the general public. The all natural Farrow Green CleanŽ media is easy to sweep up and dispose of when the job is done.

Is The Farrow SystemŽ a unique process?

Scientific tests have shown that the heat incorporated in The Farrow SystemŽ is key to the speed and precision of the cleaning process. No one else uses heat to clean like The Farrow SystemŽ, and no one else uses the proprietary Farrow Green CleanŽ. And no one else can clean what The Farrow SystemŽ can clean. The revolutionary Farrow SystemŽ cleaning process is patented throughout the world.

Do you support your customers after the sale?

While cleaning some jobs may be similar, there is no such thing as a 'standard' or 'typical' job, the size and nature of any project is so wide-ranging. The Farrow SystemŽ is supported by cleaning specialists, engineers, service technicians, and overnight shipping of OEM replacement parts. Farrow Green CleanŽ media is only a phone call away at 1-888-FARROW-8. We keep your machine operating and your jobs on schedule. The Farrow SystemŽ machines are built in the USA to the highest quality standards with one goal in mind: to insure top customer productivity and satisfaction!

The Farrow SystemŽ combines the fundamental elements of nature - water, heat, minerals, and air - and forges them into a powerful cleaning system. Patented worldwide, The Farrow SystemŽ can clean surfaces impossible to clean with other systems! "A natural combination"

The Farrow SystemŽ adds heat to a low pressure mixture of water and Farrow Green CleanŽ, a chemical-free, naturally occurring mineral. Adding heat adds energy, creating free flow in the system and allowing air pressures can be low and still clean efficiently. This heat also causes the Farrow Green CleanŽ crystals to align before leaving the turbo nozzle. This creates a controlled, highly efficient cleaning stream that resembles a stream of darts.

This safe, low pressure vapor-like stream is directed against the surface to be cleaned. Upon contact with the surface, each Farrow Green CleanŽ particle bursts into multiple cleaning "missiles" that lift the coating from the surface. Each particle packs many punches, reducing cleaning time and media consumption significantly. The process is dust-free and leaves only a moist residue which is easily swept up and removed. "Cleaning method comparison"

Farrow Green CleanŽ is available in several grit sizes specially developed for a range of cleaning applications. It can take off just one layer at a time and it can also create controlled profiles specific to your application.
