Vapor Blast Systems for Aerospace & Aviation
Wet slurry abrasive blasting processes, also known as vapor blasting processes, are utilized throughout Aviation and Aerospace Manufacturing as well as Aviation and Aerospace MRO processes today for precision cleaning and surface preparation.
Our high volume, high concentration blasting process can consistently clean and prepare surfaces without eroding or compromising the material strength or integrity, which is especially important for high-stress parts like turbine blades, airframes, and landing gear.
Vapor blasting applications include:
Etching and bonding
Descaling and cleaning
Stripping paints from composites
Stripping coatings in layers from landing gear and wheels
De-oiling
Separation and disposal
Wet peening and smoothening to reduce Ra values
And more
Wet Technologies engineers high-quality and industry compliant cabinets that are effective in these disciplines, and can be custom built for any application.
Because Wet Technologies vapor blasting systems are compact, closed-loop and clean, you can easily and cost-effectively bring these traditionally subcontracted processes in-house — right onto your production floor.
Consult with one of our experts today and see how significantly a Wet Technologies’ vapor blasting system can speed lead times, reduce costs and cut labor from your manufacturing and MRO processes.
What our customers say about us

"After purchasing our Wet Technologies automatic wet blasting machine we saw our burr hand production increase by 300%. Mitch Sherman has gone out of his way to diagnose issues and to make sure the machine is running up to our standards. We had burr issues with our end customer before the installation of our machine and they have since gone away.”

"We’ve been using Wet Technologies to fabricate our custom wet-slurry blast machines since the company’s inception. We use these machines to clean our aircraft engine vanes after our laser hole drill process. We’re ecstatic about our new machines which have surpassed expectations and I’m sure will prove to be as reliable as the other six we’ve purchased.”

"We purchased a WT50 high volume liquid media system… to replace a competitive model. Both systems featured submerged pumps and closed-loop filtration. Our operators and maintenance staff are very pleased with the efficiency and ergonomic improvements, and marveled over the minimum downtime required for PM, a fraction of what it used to be."

Blasting Process
Which vapor blasting process is right for me?
We provide solutions based on your application and finishing needs. All of our systems are offered independently closed loop, as well as open loop, and can also be designed to feed and draw from a customer’s plant waste water treatment process.
A significant factor in our reputation is our ability to run the highest concentrations of certain medias in the industry.
Our slurry delivery system provides the most even finishes with faster process times, and lower media consumption rates.
Combination Systems Available: We can combine high pressure water and wet blast slurry processing into the same system.
