In defence environments, where operational readiness is mission-critical, reducing maintenance turnaround times is essential. One technology making a tangible difference is wet blasting — and here’s why it’s rapidly gaining traction across military workshops, aviation MRO, and naval support facilities:

Key advantages:

- Faster surface preparation: Wet blasting cleans, degreases, and strips coatings in a single step — saving valuable hours in maintenance cycles.

In precision manufacturing, surface preparation plays a critical role in tool performance, coating adhesion, and overall product quality. The Vapormatt Jaguar is a wet blasting system specifically designed to meet these demands in high-volume carbide insert environments.

Key technical highlights:

• Controlled edge preparation: Capable of achieving homogenous edge radii up to 70 µm within tight tolerances (+/-10%, or even +/-5 µm in some cases). This level of consistency is vital for optimising PVD/CVD coating performance on cutting tools.
