WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF WETBLASTING OVER DRY BLASTING?

Wetblasting produces a finer finish than dry blasting and is ideal for the cleaning of more delicate components. The Aquablast machines use a water and abrasive slurry to simultaneously blast and degrease which prevents impregnation of media onto the component. 

One of the major advantages of wetblasting is that it is a dust free process.

WHERE CAN I GET SPARE PARTS FOR THE CABINET?

Vixen can supply all the spare parts for their machines direct to the customer. Once you have purchased a machine from Vixen you will be assigned an internal aftersales contact who is available to give you advice on spares and consumables.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A TUMBLER MACHINE COMPARED TO A HAND BLAST CABINET?

The Aquablast tumbler range of wetblasting machines is designed to automatically process batches of components to produce a consistent finish. The Aquablast tumbler machines automatically degrease and blast in one operation, eliminating the need for washing components prior to putting them in the machine.

HOW MANY GUNS ARE FITTED TO THE MACHINE?

The standard machine is normally supplied with 2 adjustable guns, additional guns are optional.

DO THE COMPONENTS NEED RINSING TO REMOVE ANY RESIDUAL ABRASIVE?

The standard machine has a first stage rinse cycle at the end of the blast cycle which normally uses the recycled solution. A second rinse stage can be added as an optional extra. This would use clean or recycled water and can be heated so that the components will almost flash dry after the second rinse has taken place.

HOW DO I UNLOAD THE TUMBLER MACHINE?

Components can be unloaded manually from the drum or via optional unload facilities which are available as an optional extra.
