Meet our CEO, R&D Director, and Head of R&D at the exhibition.

We’re the original innovators and global leaders in wet blast surface finishing technology. Our systems are used to improve component performance, extend service life, and ensure reliability in some of the most demanding industries including aerospace and defence.

Why meet with us?

In the manufacture of bandsaw blades, surface preparation is a critical step when it comes to applying durable and legible branding. Wet blasting offers distinct advantages over conventional finishing techniques for this purpose.

• Uniform surface profile: Wet blasting creates a controlled, consistent surface roughness that improves the absorption and adhesion of subsequent branding processes such as laser marking, etching or stamping.

In extrusion plants, die cleaning and polishing are vital for maintaining productivity and reducing scrap rates. Yet, many facilities still rely on outdated, time-consuming methods that risk damaging dies and lowering success rates.

Our white paper explores how wet blasting technology is transforming die shops by:

✅ Delivering faster, more consistent polishing results
✅ Extending die life and improving extrusion success rates
✅ Reducing manual labor and achieving ROI in as little as 6 months
✅ Creating a cleaner, safer working environment

“It’s just like dry blasting.”
Not at all. Adding water cushions the abrasive, giving a smoother, more consistent finish.

“It damages delicate parts.”
The water actually protects surfaces, making it safe for precision components.

“It’s messy and wasteful.”
Quite the opposite - it reduces dust, recycles media, and makes clean-up easier.

“It’s only for heavy industry.”
It’s used everywhere: aerospace, automotive, medical, and even jewellery.

When it comes to sports equipment manufacturing the finishing process is just as critical as the material itself. And wet blasting is fast becoming the preferred finishing method, especially for composite-based gear such as tennis racquets, bicycles, skis, and hockey sticks.

Applications of wet blasting for composites

• Surface preparation: Ensures better adhesion before painting, coating, or bonding.

• Texture control: Creates consistent surface finishes without damaging fibres or resin.

Wet blasting is a proven solution for heat scale removal, advantages include:

• Effective oxide layer removal - Heat scale consists of tenacious chromium and nickel oxides on superalloy surfaces. Wet blasting's controlled impact energy effectively breaks the oxide-to-metal bond while the water flushes away loosened scale particles, preventing re-deposition.

In aerospace Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), every process has to be precise, repeatable, and reliable. That’s where the Sabre comes into its own.

• Unmatched precision: The Sabre delivers micron-level control in surface finishing. It produces consistent, repeatable results, with surfaces optimised for coatings that demand excellent adhesion performance.

In additive manufacturing (AM), achieving the right Ra surface roughness is one of the most important finishing challenges. It's not just a number on a surface measurement chart. Ra directly influences how a part performs, how long it lasts and whether it meets certification standards.

Why Ra surface roughness control matters:

• Mechanical performance: Higher Ra values can act as stress concentrators, reducing fatigue life and increasing the risk of crack initiation. Lower, controlled Ra values improve strength and reliability.

Left behind after machining, these sharp edges can:

• Injure patients or clinicians

• Compromise sterilisation

• Reduce performance and shorten instrument life

Wet blasting is one of the most effective ways to deal with them. The combination of water and fine abrasive removes burrs gently but thoroughly, even in complex geometries, while leaving a smooth, uniform finish. It also flushes away debris and improves corrosion resistance.

The outcome is simple: instruments that are safer, cleaner and more reliable.

In sectors where sterility is absolutely critical, such as medical technology, pharmaceuticals and food processing, the way surfaces are finished has a huge impact on how effectively and efficiently they can be sterilised.

Wet blasting excels at creating surfaces that require sterlisation.

Here’s why it stands out:

• Thorough cleaning: Wet blasting removes grease, oxides, rust, scale and even stubborn biofilms, leaving a surface ready for sterilisation.
