The rising price of tungsten carbide is putting significant pressure on many industries, from cutting tool manufacturers to component suppliers. What was once considered a manageable input cost has now become a strategic concern.
One area often overlooked is the potential for reclamation. By recovering and reprocessing worn carbide parts, businesses can:
• Reduce reliance on fluctuating raw material markets
• Lower overall material costs
• Extend the life cycle of valuable resources
This is where the automatic Puma+ barrel wet blasting machine comes in. Designed for efficient surface preparation, it enables precise cleaning and conditioning of tungsten carbide components. The controlled wet blasting process removes coatings and contaminants, making the carbide suitable for reuse or further processing.
For manufacturers, this means turning scrap into a resource, reducing waste, and building resilience in the face of rising raw material costs.
