Waterwave
  Waterwave units
 
  MACHINE OPERATION
 
  An operator wearing protective clothing controls a Mirus blast gun. The accelerated slurry from this, when directed at the component to be cleaned, will strip paint, rust, grease and other debris from the surface of the component. Rinsing of the component then takes place using a hand operated rinse gun.
 
  When processing is complete, the components are removed from the blast area.
 
  VAPORMATT SYSTEM
 
  A media / water slurry is pumped to the blast gun where the mixture is accelerated with air and directed at the component to be stripped.
