When premium Swiss toolmaker Vallorbe – a global leader in precision rasp and file manufacturing – encountered difficulties sourcing replacement pumps for their wet blasting machines, they approached Vapormatt for a solution.
The answer was Vapormatt Inside – our specialist upgrade service that retrofits existing wet blasting machines (from any manufacturer) with Vapormatt’s advanced technology.
Why was this upgrade such an effective solution?
✔️ Cost-effective: No need for full machine replacement. Our upgrade delivered improved performance at a significantly lower cost, with reduced lead times and minimal disruption.
✔️ Engineering-led problem solving: Beyond replacing the pumps, our audit revealed a design flaw in the original system – abrasive blockages during downtime. We resolved this by repositioning the pumps at an angle, ensuring they restarted reliably every time.
✔️ Supply chain resilience: We used readily available Vapormatt components, eliminating supply risks – a major advantage, particularly when the original machine manufacturer is no longer trading.
✔️ Scalable and global: Whether in Switzerland, the UK, or further afield – if you operate wet blasting machinery, Vapormatt Inside can be implemented for you.
The result: A more robust, reliable, and repeatable process. Vallorbe’s upgraded machines are now delivering consistent performance they can depend on.
If you're looking to extend the lifespan and improve the reliability of your wet blasting equipment without investing in new machinery, Vapormatt Inside offers a practical and proven solution.
