Aquapolish wet blasting : How does it work ?
Process
- Wet blasting is a unique process in which a mixture of water and abrasive is thrown under pressure on the surface of the part to be treated.
- A pump supplies the gun nozzle with water/abrasive mixture and compressed air provides the projection force on the object.
- The sealed cabin recycles the slurry in a closed loop system.
- The abrasive is selected according to the amount of material to be removed and the nature of the base material.
- Rinsing and drying with compressed air will finish the treatment to bring the objects back to their original condition.
Performance
- Perfect cleaning in the most inaccessible places in record time.
- Very nice satin finish on many different substrates such as stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, thanks to the softness of the abrasive.
- In case the part will have to be polished, wet blasting can be considered a "pre-polishing" step, and so reduces drastically the polishing time.
- Cleans and restores most plastic or rubber parts.
- Even chromed parts can be cleaned without damaging the surface !
- No chemicals needed
- Can adapt surface finishes to customer requirements by changing the abrasive type and grain size.
Wet Blasting vs Dry Blasting
- Very nice satin finish as opposed to dry sanding which leaves a matte surface picking up finger marks.
- This surface smoothness gives to the base material a much better corrosion reststance.
-
No dust, and especially no silica released into the atmosphere, making a filtering system
unnecessary.
- No incrustation of abrasive in the base material.
- No removal of material by erosion, the dimensional integrity of the part is preserved. The finest details and markings, so essential for collectible parts, are thus kept intact.
