The Aquablast 1215 is the second largest of our standard wet blasting models, which is suitable for medium-sized components.
This cabinet cleans by flow, thereby eliminating impact, resulting in a 'soft' finish with the water acting as a lubricant. Media impregnation is avoided and the life of the blast media is also extended. View the full process below:
The water/media slurry is contained within the wet blasting cabinet sump.
Delivery of the slurry to the manual blast nozzle is via a glandless polyurethane pump and associated hoses located inside the wet blasting machine.
Compressed air is added at the blast nozzle to accelerate the slurry and provide the 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 via an overflow to a sedimentation filter located at the rear of the wet blasting machine.
