Abrasive blasting is the operation of propelling abrasive material against a surface under direct pressure or negative pressure in order to achieve the following purposes:
Smoothing of a rough surface
Roughening of a smooth surface
Shaping of a surface
Removal of surface contaminants.
Enhance surface adhesion before painting and coating.
Wet abrasive blasting features the ability to blast media and water mixture to the product, reach the purpose of rust removing, cleaning, deburring and surface pretreatment. An innovative wet blasting machine use the slurry pump to agitate the mixture, by a flow of compressed air to raise the slurry via a siphoning action and then blast it to the specially designed gun nozzle
Wet abrasive blasting is able to use very fine or light media to operate parts who requires high accuracy of the surface, such as medical implants and aircraft part, also applied to some decorated parts who needs dedicated surface.
With water’s lubricating and buffering actions between media and surface, the wet abrasive blasting has a variety of advantages, mainly including: decrease media breakdown rates, prevents dust and abrasive from sticking to the surface. eliminates the wear to the blasting cabinet and reduce maintenance cost. Coating or painting operations performed after wet blasting are much better than after dry blasting based on the level of cleanliness. What’s more, water and abrasive blasting decrease the friction heat to prevent color different on some special surfaces.
The most outstanding feature of wet blasting is improving the working space, the bringing of water reduces the dust leaving a clean working chamber and increasing the visibility.
Deburring or deflashing without damage to substrates
Surface preparation for powder coating or wet painting, like wheels, aluminum.
Etch glass for decorative or functional purposes
Remove oxides or rust from surface for a bright, clean appearance, such as vehicle parts.
Clean contaminants of molds, castings, welding parts.
Hole cleaning for irregular-shaped products, like printed circuit boards
Ultra-fine abrasive can be used, light glass beads and silicon carbide
Media impregnation into substrate is not possible by water
Deeply finishes of corner and concavities.
Dust control for a clear working cabinet
Closed cabinet provides media recycling
No heat warping and distortion with thin and sensitive parts
Final finish of delicate parts.
Provides an excellent pretreatment for painting, powder coating.
Provides an excellent surface for bonding
Holds tight tolerances for precise instruments.
Wet Blasting Application
Aqua blasting leaves the underlying component completely intact with its original dimensions, whilst removing the unwanted materials So it is rapidly expanding into many restoration sectors where quality and servicing is critical.
Perfect for motors, cylinder heads, sub-sea components, aviation parts, crank cases, wheel hubs, suspension parts, bolts, master cylinders, brake calipers and valuable restoration projects.
Effective for cleaning of dies and moulds, removal of pain, rust, scale, carbon and similar deposits.
Surface preparation prior to bonding, re-painting and powder coating.
Aqua Blasting will also produce a very uniform satin finish especially on aluminium or stainess steel items returning the material to as new casting appearance
Finishing of stainless steel and other metals, cleaning of PCBs and electrical components and so on.
As the media material can be varied the gentle cleaning action of Aqua Blasting is not limited to metals and cleans exceptionally well with plastics and rubbers.
