The machine spreads, washes and prepares the wheel rims in a single quick and easy step, ready for painting and varnishing. This process uses water mixed with abrasive material to treat the surface of the alloy, providing an ideal surface for paint or varnish to adhere to.
ABRASIVE / CARRIER
We supply our customers with spare parts
We provide our customers with 50 kg of glass beads as a free consumable kit for their first use of the machine.
Consumables with a specific gravity of less than 4 g/cm3 are acceptable in current wet blasting systems. (Grenades, silicon carbides, glass beads, aluminium oxides, etc.)
Consumables with a specific weight greater than 5 g/cm3, such as steel shot/grit and stainless steel shot/grit, must not be used in wet blasting systems. Otherwise, damage to the device will be considered outside the scope of the warranty.
Wet blasting machines can operate effectively with consumables with a maximum particle size of 700 microns.
Advantages of wet blasting
In terms of the basics, wet sandblasting is similar to sandblasting, with the major difference being that the cabin is filled with water and the blasting material is added to the water. The key to wet blasting is the surface achieved by the particles carried by the water flow. The resulting effect is unique thanks to the force exerted and the lubricating effect of the water. An electric motor-driven pump circulates the water mixed with the blasting material at a constant pressure and feeds this slurry to the blasting nozzle. Here, clean compressed air is added, which accelerates the cleaning process and, when adjusted, also refines the effect on the surface.
Wet particle blasting is not only a perfect alternative to dry processes, but also differs from sand or bead blasting in that the latter cleans by the shearing force exerted on the surface when the particles strike it. The impact results in a 90˚ rebound, causing severe surface damage and craters.
The essence of wet blasting is therefore that the final condition of the surface is ensured by the effect of the abrasive medium in the liquid stream, i.e. a smoother surface is achieved by the effect of the flowing liquid. The abrasive medium does not penetrate the structure of the material to be cleaned, so the particles do not degrade to such an extent that dust is generated, unlike in dry blasting, where the surface is formed by the shearing forces of the impacting abrasive medium.
The turntable is designed so that the operator does not have to lift, hold or move the workpiece; all they have to do is turn the turntable in the right direction while the shot blasting continues.

WHY CHOOSE WET BLASTING?
- Wet sandblasting is an innovative technique that sprays an abrasive mixed with water onto the surface using pressurised air, utilising the force of the liquid flow to effectively clean corners and crevices without damaging the original surface texture.
- The much better, smoother surface does not require pre-cleaning or deburring. It is characterised by dust-free operation and environmentally friendly technology.
- Zero heat distortion
- Homogeneous surface quality
- No fingerprints
- No media penetration/impregnation into the surface (no contamination)
- Cleans with flow
- Reduced abrasive costs thanks to longer service life
- Wider range of surface treatments available
- Gentle or abrasive effects can be achieved by changing the material and blowing pressure.
What surface treatments are performed with wet blasting?
Degreasing:
The degreasing process removes grease, oil and other contaminants from surfaces. Water is used during sandblasting to achieve a more uniform surface quality, reduce dust and ensure a more controlled and environmentally friendly cleaning technique.
Wet sandblasting and degreasing work well together to prepare surfaces for painting, coating or other treatments, ensuring good adhesion.
Removal of old paint, thicker coatings and contaminants:
Wet sandblasting is one of the best methods for restoring surfaces that have been painted or coated with one or more layers. With the use of the right abrasive and water, it allows you to renew the material without damaging the underlying surface layer.
The wet sandblasting process restores the surface to its pre-painting or pre-coating condition.
Smoothing rough surfaces:
Wet sandblasting is often used to create a more even surface on areas with high roughness and poor uniformity.
By providing a balanced, contamination-free surface, it contributes significantly to the success of subsequent processes such as painting and coating.
Roughening smooth surfaces:
Surface roughness plays an important role in many mechanical properties, such as friction and adhesion. Wet blasting is one of the most popular methods for achieving a balanced surface roughness. Wet blasting is even used safely for roughening the surface of implants used in the human body, as it minimises the risk of abrasive material embedding in the surface.
