Addisu

“Before purchasing the Aqua Wheelblaster, we used to prepare the wheels by hand which took 30 minutes, but now thanks to the Vixen machine it only takes 3 minutes! Contamination of any kind, do not stand a chance against the Aqua Wheelblaster. Only the best for our customers. The service we received was outstanding and the service engineer who came to Dortmund to set up the machine couldn’t have been more helpful. We can recommend the device without any problems.”

“The Aquablast 915 is perfect and at a great price point to process parts that require wet blasting. The availability of technical help in both the USA and England is a great benefit. We spend some time on Vixen's YouTube channel and found the videos very educational and full of resources.”
