Buy Used Aqua/Wet Blasting Cabinets

Wet blast machines are special devices used for cleaning or deburring surfaces. In contrast to dry blasting processes, in which the abrasive is shot dry onto the surface to be processed, in wet blasting systems the abrasive is directed onto the surface in a water jet. The water serves as a carrier medium for the abrasive and at the same time reduces dust generation. The blasting unit of a wet blasting system consists of a pump that conveys the water and the abrasive into a blasting head. In the blast head, the abrasive and the water are mixed and sprayed at high pressure onto the surface to be processed. The abrasive rubs against the surface, removing unwanted layers, while the water washes away the detached material. Wet blast machines are used in many different industries, such as automotive, aerospace, food processing and medical. They are particularly suitable for delicate materials, as they do not cause damage or deformation to the surface. In addition, they can also be used for cleaning surfaces of contaminants and removing rust and corrosion. Another advantage of wet blasting systems is that the water used as a carrier medium cools the abrasive, thus increasing its service life. In addition, the use of water reduces dust generation, which improves work safety and facilitates cleaning of the work area.
