By the slurry of (hot) water and abrasive, the abrasive is "pushed" over the surface of the object. This results in much lower surface roughness than ever possible with dry blasting. Something which is more and more required in eg stainless steel and aluminum industries.
In addition, in the same operation, oil and grease are being removed. An additional preparation for blasting is thus unnecessary.
The dust-free finish and much smaller chance of abrasive impregnation are two more additional benefits of wetblasting method.
The water/media slurry is contained within the cabinet sump. Delivery of the slurry to the manual blast nozzle is via a glandless polyurethane pump and associated hoses located inside the machine. Compressed air is added at the blast nozzle to accelerate the slurry and provide the cleaning effect. After contact with the component the slurry then drains back into the sump creating a re-circulating system.
Fine broken down media and other contaminants are fed via an overflow to a drain or an optional sedimentation filter located at the rear of the cabinet.
There are 3 models the 915, 1215 and the 1515. All units are 100% stainless steel with many options available, roll in roll out turntables, automatic reciprocating blast guns and closed loop rinse system.
