Wet Shot Blasting Machine - Color: Blue

1. Prepare the slurry
   
   
   
   • 
     Water is mixed with an abrasive material (such as glass beads, aluminum oxide, or garnet) in a tank.
     
   
   
   • 
     This mixture is called a slurry.
     
   
   
   
   


2. 
   Pump the slurry
   
   
   
   • 
     A pump circulates the slurry from the tank to the blasting gun.
     
   
   
   
   


3. 
   Compressed air accelerates the slurry
   
   
   
   • 
     Compressed air enters the blasting gun.
     
   
   
   • 
     The air increases the speed of the slurry, creating a high-velocity spray.
     
   
   
   
   


4. 
   Surface cleaning
   
   
   
   • 
     The slurry strikes the workpiece.
     
   
   
   • 
     It removes:
     
     
     
     • 
       Rust
       
     
     
     • 
       Paint
       
     
     
     • 
       Scale
       
     
     
     • 
       Oxidation
       
     
     
     • 
       Dirt and contaminants
       
     
     
     
     
   
   
   • 
     It can also create a uniform matte finish.
     
   
   
   
   


5. 
   Recovery and recycling
   
   
   
   • 
     The used slurry falls back into the cabinet.
     
   
   
   • 
     Larger debris is filtered out.
     
   
   
   • 
     The abrasive and water are recirculated for reuse until replacement is needed.

The key difference from a dry shot blasting machine is that wet blasting uses a waterabrasive slurry, which greatly reduces airborne dust and generally produces a smoother, more controlled surface finish.
