Slurry (Wet) Blasting Parts Cleaning Systems

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

Typical Parts Cleaning Process

• Alkali hot water wash stage
• Slurry blasting stage
• Alkali hot water rinse stage

Innovative, Patented Slurry Blast Technology

Proceco Slurry Blasting, also known as wet blasting, is a patented technology that uses a fine metallic abrasive combined with a water-based alkali hot cleaning solution 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 wheel that accelerates and discharges the abrasive slurry at high velocity in a controlled pattern. The blast wheel are equipped with a patented slurry projection nozzle that directs the slurry onto the rotary wheel.

Slurry Blasting Advantages

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

Standard Slurry Blasting Process Features

• Multi-stages wash, slurry blasting, and rinse
• Slurry consisting of mild, water-based alkali 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

Typical Applications

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