  Vapormatt Wet Wheel System
 
  History
 
  Vapormatt Engineers made their first Wet Abrasive Throwing Wheels in the nineteen sixties, these were used for concurrent degreasing and blasting - surface conditioning - one of the noteworthy applications during this period was the treatment of the Austin Mini car body prior to final paint coat.

Many improvements have been made in wheel design and construction since that time, Vapormatt state-of-the-art wheels are offered as an alternative, or in conjunction with compressed air or pressure water driven blast nozzles, and due to their unique design will operate with any type of cleaning / abrasive media, ranging from aluminium oxide to soft felt particles.

They are available in sizes from 10 to 40 kw and have variable speed control so that the intensity of degreasing / blasting can be varied to suit the components being treated.

 
 
 
  Wet Wheels can be used in the following component handling systems:
 
 
   Tumble belt or barrel.
   Rotary table.
   Hanger.
   Belt conveyor.
   Diabolo roller.
   In-line strip.
