The effect of wet blasting comparing with dry blasting

Compared with the dry blasting machine, the wet sandblaster is better for controlling the dust pollution during the blasting process and improving the working environment of the blasting operation. 

The wet blasting machine can increase the surface finish by 0.5-2.0 grade after blasting, If using different kinds of abrasives, the parts can be operated in matte or gloss effect.

The working efficiency of the wet blasting machine is slightly lower than that of the dry blasting, and the price is also higher. Generally, dry blasting is recommended for general finish and the wet blasting machine is required for more precise blasting.
