One of our stops during the last few days was a company visit to Dynajet. Dynajet is a small German company that specializes in manufacturing high pressure systems and tools. Such applications include cleaning graffiti off of walls and cleaning dirt off of surfaces. One of the more interesting applications is replacing concrete in concrete structures. This is useful so that you can get rid of the old concrete without damaging the rebar, whereas using a jackhammer would damage the rebar.
Dynajet started out as a brand within a larger company, Putzmeister, but was sold and became a full company. Our tour guide, Carsten, was instrumental in this transition as well as currently running the company. Recently, however, Dynajet has been bought by Uraca, since it was struggling to meet market demands as a small company.
Dynajet’s high pressure systems are built into a trailer so that they could be transported easily and quickly. Dynajet believes in creating a reliable product, therefore their machines are created in a modular fashion so that parts can be easily replaced if needed. They are also concerned with being up to date with EU regulations, so they had the most revised design on the shelf and ready to sell.
This was an interesting company visit since we have mostly visited larger companies on this trip. The size of the manufacturing facility was big enough to produce about four machines at any point in time. This is pretty small compared to the big distribution plants of the other companies we have visited thus far.
