The requirement for lightweight and strong components has become a key requirement for the aerospace industry. In doing so manufacturers can easily reduce the weight of the aircraft across a range of components from turbine blades to landing gears and wing spars to fasteners.

Having returned from a successful show at Farnborough this month it is clear that the demand for high end and controlled surface finishing is as important today as it ever has been. The forecasted growth for the global aerospace markets drives the need for lighter and more efficient aircraft something that requires suppliers to this industry to be forward thinking. 

Vapormatt, the world’s leading wet blasting company, has recently signed a new distributor agreement with Jebsen & Jessen Technology Ltd who offer support services to a number of aerospace companies in the region.

Jebsen & Jessen’s senior sales engineer for aerospace, Larry Kee, comments that “Vapormatt have sold many wet blasting machines with most of our top customers and the clear benefits in surface finishing of the wet blast process over dry blasting make the opportunities with Vapormatt very exciting”.

Vapormatt, the world’s leading manufacturer of advanced wet blasting technology will be unveiling its latest high performance systems, developed specifically for use in the aerospace sector for surface preparation and finishing.   On show will be the company’s Puma wet blasting system, which can be seen in operation preparing a range of aircraft components, including cast, machined and composite parts.

For the first time Vapormatt, the world’s leading wet blasting company, will be exhibiting at the MMTS show in Montreal. The show which takes place May 16-18th acts as the Launchpad for Vapormatt’s new Puma machine.

Traditional methods of removing moulding deposits from precision mould tools often involve chemical soaking and brushing or dry blasting; however, both of these methods have problems.

Chemical soaking has operator safety, disposal and environmental considerations to address, it can also be a very time consuming process.
