The vapour blasting or aqua blasting process cleans by a flow, rather than the more traditional, impact method. This method produces a ‘softer’ finish, whereby water acts as a lubricating agent, avoiding media impregnation damage and preserving the integrity of the blast media.
The typical process is as follows:
- The water/media slurry is contained within a wet blasting cabinet ‘sump’.
- Delivery of the slurry to the manual blast nozzle is via a glandless polyurethane pump and its hoses located within the wet blasting machine.
- Compressed air is then added at the blast nozzle to accelerate this slurry which creates a powerful cleaning effect.
- After contact with the component, the slurry then drains back into the sump creating a re-circulating system.
- Fine broken down media and other contaminants are fed and removed, via an overflow system leading to a sedimentation filter.
