• Tiger - The industry gold standard for insert manufacturers, the Tiger is our high capacity, highly efficient linear format wet blast, rinsing and drying machine.

• Tiger + Similar to the Tiger, but with an additional blast chamber that allows for an additional wet blast process, or the same process but with higher throughput.

• Jaguar – Highly productive machine that is well suited to processing high volumes of carbide inserts loaded on pallets.

- Sabre - Highly flexible automatic finishing for a broad range of tasks. The machine provides very high levels of control for complex processing.

- Leopard - Well suited to the processing of large composite components with high levels of throughput, especially for taller components like composite fan blades.

- Cougar + Highly versatile mid-range machine. Popular with heavy users thanks to its durability, reliability and repeatability.

The benefits of finishing composite components by wet blasting...

When it comes to enhancing composite component performance, like the composite components of an armoured vehicle, wet blasting has a number of key benefits and advantages...

Main benefits include:

It has come to our attention that a scammer purporting to be the USA sales director for Vapormatt is sending emails to a large range of companies asking them to open an attachment containing details of an RFQ for an upcoming project scheduled for next month.

Simon Bibby is not associated with Vapormatt and these are extremely suspicious emails.

The hacker has also moved to a new domain, has taken the name of some of our staff and is currently asking recipients to open an RFQ attachment to his / her email for semiconductors.

Preparing composite turbofan blades for bonding and coating by wet blasting offers several distinct advantages tailored to the specific demands and intricacies of turbofan blade materials and their operational environments…

• Elimination of oils, greases, particulates and debirs: Wet blasting removes oils, greases, particulates, debris and other contaminants that can impede the adhesion of bonding agents and coatings - even from complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas.

Peening is a mechanical surface treatment process that introduces compressive residual stresses into the surface of a material. For jet engine components, which operate under high stress and temperature conditions, peening enhances fatigue life, resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and overall durability.

Peening to the same intensity as dry shot peening, wet blasting (or wet shot peening) is a superior alternative to traditional dry shot peening, offering several distinct advantages…

Effective cleaning: Wet blasting efficiently removes a wide range of contaminants like dirt, oil, grease, and residual manufacturing residues. This ensures blades are free from substances that could interfere with the NDT processes. For example, oil or grease residues could interfere with ultrasonic wave propagation or dye penetration, leading to inaccurate assessments.

Our Puma + machine is ideal for those wanting to make the move from manual to automated wet blasting. Automation offers significant improvements in productivity and finishing consistency vs. manual finishing.

To make the Puma + as versatile and relevant to as many users as possible, we’ve developed 3 distinct variants...
