Vapour Blasting or Aqua blasting, wet blasting, slurry blasting, vapour honing these are names that it is also know as. This non-destructive surface preparation technique, has been specially developed for applications requiring finer finishes, it removes ingrained dirt, contaminants, rust, and corrosion from a wide range of surfaces. It is an ideal way to clean and restore most metals: ferrous steel and iron, non ferrous Aluminium, Magnesium, Titanium, Brass, Copper, Bronze and Stainless Steel and some hard plastics.
Vapour Blasting is commonly used to clean engine components such as barrel’s, Alloy Rims, Case’s, Hubs, Brake Plate’s, Yoke’s, Fork’s, turbo’s, Water Pump’s, Inlet Manifold’s, Rocker Cover’s, Fuel Rail’s, Engine Blocks & Piston’s, carburettors, engine Casings, Piston Heads, Gearbox casing and Brake Callipers on which we offer a re-painting service.
The many advantages of Vapour Blasting are: its a dust free process, it cleans with a extremely fine blast media and by the flow of water and this water acts as a lubricant between the media and components, it very importantly too helps to avoid media impregnation into soft materials.
We carefully inspect parts due to be cleaned for any corrosive weak spots or faults, to help to protect parts from damage during the vapour blasting process.
All parts should be de-greased with bearings and bushes removed before vapour blasting can be carried out, but we can de-grease, remove bearings and bushes and also refit new ones (you can supply them or we can try and source them for you, that's if they are still available) but obviously this will be at an extra cost.
