Wet Blast Cabinet

A wet blast cabinet uses a slurry of abrasive material and water to clean surfaces. It's a gentler alternative to dry blasting and is commonly used in various industries.

Wet Blast Cabinet
Machine

A wet blast cabinet machine is a specialized piece of equipment used in industrial settings for cleaning, finishing, or preparing surfaces. Unlike traditional dry blasting methods that use compressed air to propel abrasive materials, wet blasting utilizes a mixture of water and abrasive media.

This combination not only removes contaminants and coatings from surfaces but also reduces dust and airborne particles, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly option.

Wet blast cabinets typically feature a sealed chamber where the blasting process occurs, with a water pump and abrasive injector system to deliver the mixture at controlled pressures.

The water acts as a cushion, preventing damage to delicate surfaces while still providing effective cleaning or finishing results. These machines are commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, marine, and metal fabrication for tasks ranging from rust removal to surface preparation prior to painting or coating.

Features:

Enclosed Workspace: Wet blast cabinets typically have an enclosed workspace to contain the blasting process and prevent water and abrasive media from splashing outside the machine.

Water Pump System: These machines are equipped with a water pump system that circulates water through the blasting gun or nozzles. The water helps to lubricate the abrasive media and reduce dust emissions.

Abrasive Media Delivery System: Wet blast cabinets have a mechanism for delivering abrasive media mixed with water to the blasting gun or nozzles. This system ensures a consistent flow of abrasive media during the blasting process.

Blasting Gun or Nozzles: The blasting gun or nozzles are the components that direct the abrasive media and water mixture onto the surface being cleaned or finished. They are typically adjustable to control the blasting intensity and pattern.

Variable Pressure Control: Wet blast cabinets may feature variable pressure control mechanisms that allow operators to adjust the pressure of the abrasive media and water mixture according to the requirements of the job.

Filtration System: These machines often include a filtration system to remove contaminants and debris from the water, allowing for the reuse of water and reducing waste.

Workpiece Fixturing: Wet blast cabinets may have fixtures or clamps to hold the workpiece securely in place during the blasting process, ensuring uniform coverage and consistent results.

Lighting: Good visibility is essential during the blasting process. Therefore, wet blast cabinets are often equipped with built-in lighting to illuminate the workspace and improve visibility of the workpiece.

Foot Pedal or Trigger Control: Operators can control the blasting process using a foot pedal or trigger mechanism, allowing for precise control over the timing and intensity of the blasting action.

Safety Features: Wet blast cabinets should include safety features such as interlocks and emergency stop buttons to ensure operator safety during operation.

Material Compatibility:

Metals: Most commonly, wet blast cabinets are used for cleaning and finishing metal parts. This includes steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and alloys.

Plastics: Certain types of plastics can be processed in wet blast cabinets without damage. However, compatibility depends on the specific material and the abrasive media used in the machine.

Glass: Wet blasting can be effective for cleaning and etching glass surfaces without causing damage.

Ceramics: Similar to glass, ceramics can be processed in wet blast cabinets for cleaning or surface texturing.

Composites: Some wet blast cabinets are suitable for processing composite materials, although compatibility may vary depending on the composition of the material and the abrasive media used.
