Aquablast Finishing Applications and Tailored Solutions

Including aquablasting into your manufacturing process can lead to improved product quality, enhanced surface performance, increased efficiency, and cost savings. Wet blasting offers several benefits compared to traditional dry blasting methods. Here are some of the advantages of using aquablast cabinets:

• Gentle surface treatment: aquablast is generally gentler on surfaces compared to dry blasting. The water in the slurry helps cushion the impact of abrasive particles, reducing the risk of substrate damage. This makes it suitable for delicate materials or surfaces that require a softer touch.
• Versatility: aquablast technology can be used on a wide range of materials and surfaces, including metals, composites, plastics, and more. It is suitable for various applications, such as cleaning, paint removal, surface preparation, and achieving specific finishes.

• Reduced dust emissions: the addition of water significantly reduces dust emissions during the blasting process. This is particularly beneficial for indoor applications and environments where airborne dust can pose health and safety hazards.
• Cooling effect: the water in the slurry helps cool the abrasive action, preventing the workpiece from overheating. This can be crucial for materials that are sensitive to high temperatures or for applications where heat buildup is a concern.
• Less abrasive consumption: the recirculation systems in wet blasting cabinets allow for the reuse of abrasive media, reducing overall consumption. This can lead to cost savings and lower waste generation.
• Better surface finish control: aquablast allows for more precise control over the surface finish. The combination of abrasive media and water can be adjusted to achieve the desired texture or cleanliness level on the workpiece.
