Slurry Blast Parts Cleaning Systems

Proceco Integrated Slurry Blast is the ultimate metal component blast-finishing process designed to degrease, blast clean, shot peen and rust inhibit in one system. No need for complementary process equipment.

Innovative, Patented Slurry Blast Technology

Proceco Slurry Blast is a patented technology that uses a fine metallic abrasive combined with a water-based alkaline cleaner to mechanically remove oxides, scale, carbon deposits, oils and grease from a metal surface. The slurry blast technology can process wet, oily and greasy parts, making it an ideal cleaning technology for remanufacturing components.

The heart of the cleaning process is the rotary slurry blast head that accelerates and discharges the abrasive slurry at high velocity in a controlled pattern. The blast heads are equipped with a patented slurry projection nozzle that directs the slurry onto the rotary wheel.

Integrated Slurry Blast Process

Parts cleaning and surface treatment in one system

Integrated Slurry Blast Process Features

• Multiple processes integrated in one system
• Slurry consisting of mild, water-based alkaline cleaner and abrasive media
• High-intensity/direct-drive centrifugal blast wheel provides for shorter cycle times
• Single to multi-blast- wheel configurations
• Automatic PLC-controlled process
• Closed-loop operation. Spent slurry is reclaimed; media and water are separated and filtered for reuse.
• Oils are removed, prolonging solution life
• Armored construction made of heavy steel plates and wear-resistant materials
• Safety guarding and features for safe operation
• Custom-designed system to meet your specs

System Advantages

• Eliminates the need for pre- and post-cleaning processes
• Very clean and smooth finished surface ready for coating, painting, or remanufacturing operations
• Can process wet, oily, and greasy parts
• No dust
• Combined multiple processes provide for a smaller footprint
• Save man power

Typical Applications

• Surface cleaning and stripping prior rebuilding of automotive components such as:
  • Engines blocks and heads
  • Transmission components
  • Starter motors
  • Alternators
  • Brakes components
• Scale and rust removal
• Surface preparation of stamping prior to painting or bonding
• Die casting deflashing
