Deburring gains from Vapormatt wet blast technology

The wide range of machining operations to which components can be subjected is, arguably, more complex and critical today than ever.  The need to achieve the highest quality of final finish is also receiving greater attention – for both functional and aesthetic reasons. 

In this context, deburring has always been a key consideration.  Unwanted fragments of material and protrusions attached to a work piece, which can be caused by machining operations, need to be efficiently removed and, as a result, deburring can account for a significant portion of manufacturing costs.

Wet blasting technology provides key service enhancement to leading composite technology centre

The benefits of world leading wet blasting technology are enhancing the composite bonding performance at the country’s foremost international composite research centre.  A Vapormatt Cougar system has been installed at the Bristol premises of the National Composites Centre which works with an extensive range of cutting-edge manufacturing organisations and has a widely respected international reputation.

Latest innovation makes it easier to remove graphite lubricants from steel wire

Vapormatt has once again demonstrated its competence in systems design using a collaborative approach with 65 manufacturers across the globe. By designing and installing a system, that was a world first, for the removal of graphite lubricants from tool steel, clear benefits in terms of quality and speed have been realised.

Czech Republic

IPP Praha se již více než 20 let specializuje na dodávky špičkových zařízení a technologií pro povrchové úpravy a čištění kovových dílů a forem.

Kromě zařízení pro mokré tryskání Vapormatt  máme pro každý obor  zastoupení prvotřídních západoevropských firem  s rozsáhlými referencemi  v celé Evropě vč. ČR.

Dodávaná zařízení zahrnují prakticky všechny velikosti od malých van a kabin, až po rozsáhlé plně automatické linky vč. ultrazvukových a galvanických nebo myčky velkorozměrných dílů (např. železniční soukolí).

Sump Units

An operator wearing protective clothing controls a Mirus wet blast gun. The accelerated slurry from this will strip: paint, rust, grease and other debris from the surface of the component.

Using a Vapormatt glandless "Vortex" pump Vapormatt sump units can be used for the processing of larger items that are either to big to fit in a cabinet or have hard to reach faces that are best processed in a stand alone wet blast system.

Phosmatt

Using a closed-circuit wet blast circuit Vapormatt phosmatt systems can simultaneously phosphate, etch, de-grease, de-rust and de-scale the surface.

The Phosmatt Process uses a heated phosphate solution as the carrier for the abrasive media. This combination causes the chemical action to start immediately between metal substrate and the phosphate solution as a result small, fast growing crystals appear on the nascent surface.

Vaporblack

The Vaporblack process, developed jointly by Vapormatt and Blackfast Chemicals, enables parts to be processed at room temperature (18°C to 24°C) employing a special chemical that is far more environmentally friendly than conventional solutions and non-hazardous to operators.

Typical process time is less than five minutes, compared with the 45 minutes needed for traditional blacking.

Decomatt

Unlike other equipment the Decomatt System contains all pressured abrasive delivery lines within the cabinet to completely eliminate the danger of leakage as a result of system failure.

In addition, the design minimizes space required which is at a premium in nuclear plants. This design maximizes the equipment which can be placed within your decontamination shop.

Profelis

As an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical cleaning the Vapormatt Profelis in line system will wet blast, rinse and dry continuous wire, cable and strip products to a high standard.

Having been designed to fit into existing process lines the Profelis has a very compact footprint and is ruggedly constructed from non corrosive materials compatible with the wet blast process to ensure a long working life.

Panther

The first of Vapormatt' s large cats, the Panther, is a medium sized manual wet blasting cabinet with a side door for loading.

With small manufacturing workshops in mind the Panther has been designed to save space whilst still delivering high standards of wet blasting.

The ergonomic design of the MK3 gun makes for comfortable processing whilst the Vapormatt pump delivers effective results on a as little as 10cfm of air.
