Guyson Corporation has unveiled its new compact industrial slurry blasting machine with two rotary spindles and programmable motion of the wet-blast guns for blast cleaning and surface preparation in the work cell.
The Vaqua Komet automated wet-blast cabinet has a 40 x 40-inch footprint and is made from polished 304 stainless steel that helps to ensure complete corrosion resistance. The wet blasting enclosure, which has thick rubber curtains hung around its inside walls and features a large safety glass view window equipped with an interior wiper and water spray to maintain visibility. A single electrically interlocked 36 x 36-inch swing-out door provides access to the blast chamber for loading of components and for inspection, adjustment and maintenance of the wet-blast machine.
The blasting slurry is delivered to the blast guns by a urethane-lined pump, designed without bearings or seals and powered by a two HP electric motor. The Vaqua slurry pump is mounted at the rear of wet-blast machine and can be removed for inspection or maintenance without draining the slurry hopper. A portion of the pumped slurry is diverted to the base of the steeply pitched hopper to thoroughly agitate and mix the abrasive and water and maintain the uniformity of media concentration in the slurry.
