Three process routes
Pressure-fed cabinets are intended for production applications requiring higher work output and controlled abrasive quality. Suction-fed cabinets provide a less aggressive treatment and use significantly less compressed air, with lower removal performance.
Wet blasting circulates a water-abrasive mixture. Water carries away grease and oil contamination while suppressing airborne process dust.
Cabinet families
The range moves from manual equipment to highly automated arrangements, so the cabinet family and automation level should be selected separately.
| SmartLine | Mild-steel suction- or pressure-fed airblast cabinets for production environments |
|---|---|
| Vacu-Blast Ventus | Pressure- or suction-fed cabinet range with configuration flexibility |
| Vaqua | Wet-blast cabinet for production cleaning, degreasing and finishing |
Typical use profile
Wet blasting is used in component refurbishment, including motor and compressor parts, and in clean production environments such as aerospace and medical work.
Dry blasting is appropriate where free-running abrasive media and the required finish are compatible with the component material.
Selection and operation
Key choices are wet versus dry processing, suction versus pressure feed, abrasive type, desired removal rate, component size and required operator access. Utilities, dust extraction and media handling must match the final cabinet configuration.
