Our wet blast process is a unique wet blast finishing process. It utilises an abrasive media, water and compressed air to induce a scrubbing action on the surface of the material being processed. It is sometimes referred to as slurry blasting or (sometimes incorrectly) vapour blasting or vapour honing.
Our wetblast process uses a powerful industrial strength gland-less pump to recirculate a wet slurry around the cabinet and onto the work surface. The added compressed air regulates the degree of water cushioning to the abrasive on the work-piece. The higher the pressure and volume of air, the more aggressive the wet blast process becomes. This control allows great flexibility.
The heart of our wet blast process is our unique gland-less, slurry pump. The pump design is specific for aqua blasting, without bearings, seals, or packing. The interior parts of the pump, including the housings and impellor, are bonded with abrasion-resistant polyurethane. All these features combine to give the pump a long and relatively maintenance-free life. These machines are designed to work hard for you!
