Slurry blasting — also called “wet blasting” — is an especially valuable parts cleaning and preparation method, thanks to reduced dust and high performance. Advanced Deburring & Finishing carries superior-quality slurry blasting equipment to meet your business’s parts-cleaning needs.
The Importance of Properly Cleaned and Prepared Surfaces
Parts cleaning and component surface preparation are vital to successful manufacturing for various reasons, including the following:
- Finishing materials like powder coating and paints adhere better, preventing premature flaking, peeling or bubbling.
- Companies experience lower customer rejection rates while meeting or exceeding high industry standards for cleanliness.
- Products are more visually appealing and enjoy longer life without finishing failure.
- Engines and assemblies featuring precision-cleaned parts are longer-lasting and more reliable.
Spinner Hanger Slurry Blaster
Patented slurry blasting technology, also known as “wet blasting,” provides the ultimate parts cleaning performance within minutes. The system’s innovative design uses a blast wheel to accelerate and discharge the abrasive slurry at a high velocity and in a controlled pattern to mechanically remove oxides, scale, carbon deposits, oils and grease from metal part surfaces.
The slurry blast can be applied safely to all types of metals and is excellent for use on aluminum and other white metal components. The abrasive slurry is composed of abrasive media combined with a hot water-based alkali cleaning solution to provide a very clean and smooth finished surface that’s ready for coating, painting or remanufacturing operations.
Spinner Hanger Slurry Blast System:
The Spinner Hanger Slurry Blaster is designed to automatically process a single large part or batches of parts of various sizes loaded on a custom-designed holding fixture. A hook rotates and reciprocates the loaded part and fixture back and forth to expose each surface to the cleaning solution and accelerate the abrasive slurry.
The combination of rotation and oscillation in front of the slurry blast pattern provides even and complete coverage of geometrically complex components. A programmable controller monitors the process and allows the selection of pre-programmed cycle times depending on the parts to be cleaned. Contact us for your Slurry Blaster today.
