An overview of Vapour Blaster Ashington Services
Vapour Blasting
This process is particularly effective for cleaning and restoring aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals that are prone to oxidation or tarnishing over time.
Vapour blasting is also ideal for removing rust or corrosion from metal components, as it can help to smooth out any rough or uneven surfaces and restore the original appearance and finish of your metal parts.
Dry Ice Blasting
Using this approach, it is possible to dislodge surface debris with ease, without sacrificing the integrity of the cleaning surface. Moreover, as this technique utilises frozen dry ice, there are no chemical or abrasive residues left behind.
Parts Refurbishment
Our service includes an extensive range of high-quality treatments that are guaranteed to enhance the durability and performance of your metal parts. Whether it's degreasing, vapour blasting with different media types, micro sand blasting, or media blasting services - we've got you covered.
Our team of experts use only the latest machinery and technology to deliver a comprehensive and effective service that ensures your parts receive the highest level of care.
FAQ
What is Vapour Blasting?
Vapour blasting is known for its ability to clean surfaces without causing damage or distortion, making it particularly suitable for delicate materials, such as aluminum, brass, or chrome.
How effective is Vapour Blasting?
It effectively removes contaminants while leaving a smoother, uniform finish compared to traditional abrasive blasting methods.
What industries can use Vapour Blasting?
Vapour Blasting is used in various industries, including automotive restoration, motorcycle refurbishment, aerospace, and general metal fabrication.
What objects and componants can Vapour Blasting be used on?
It can be applied to a wide range of objects and components, including engine parts, carburetors, intake manifolds, casings, and other metallic or non-metallic surfaces that require cleaning and restoration.
Can vapour blasting be used on classic car restoration?
Vapour blasting is ideal for cleaning and restoring various types of surfaces, including classic cars. It is a gentle and effective method that uses a mixture of water, abrasive media, and compressed air to remove dirt, grime, paint, rust, and other contaminants from the surface of the car parts.
Can motorbike parts be cleaned with vapour blasting?
Yes, vapour blasting can be an effective method for cleaning and restoring motorcycle parts. Whether you have an old vintage bike or a modern motorcycle, vapour blasting can help remove dirt, grime, paint, rust, and other contaminants from various components, including engine parts, frames, wheels, and casings.
What is Ice Blasting and how is it different from Vapour Blasting?
Ice blasting, also known as dry ice blasting or CO2 blasting, is a cleaning process that uses solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets as the blasting media. It differs from vapour blasting (wet blasting) in several key ways:
Blasting Media: In ice blasting, solid CO2 pellets are used as the blasting media, whereas vapour blasting uses a mixture of water, compressed air, and abrasive media.
Abrasion Mechanism: Ice blasting relies on the kinetic energy of the high-speed solid CO2 pellets hitting the surface to remove contaminants. The CO2 pellets rapidly convert from a solid to a gas state (sublimation) upon impact, creating a lifting and cleaning effect.
Vapour blasting, on the other hand, relies on the abrasive action of the water and media mixture to remove contaminants.
