For Paint Stripping, Derusting, Chemical Cleaning, Surface Treatments of Ferrous & Non Ferrous Metals

REDI-STRIP Vapour Blasting, also known as Vapour Honing, Aqua Blasting, Slurry Blasting, or Wet Blasting, represents one of the safest and gentlest methods of cleaning various metal and non-metallic items available today. This revolutionary method can effectively clean a wide range of items, from cast alloys to plastic molds, leaving automotive hard parts looking brand new or even better.

Benefits of the Wet Blast Process are

  • Single operation cleaning removes grease, oil, burnt-on carbon, paint, grime, scale, etc., simultaneously.
  • Complete elimination of contamination without the use of toxic or harmful chemicals, thus avoiding atmospheric or environmental pollution.
  • No component erosion or impregnation, ensuring critical measurements are maintained.
  • Simultaneous rust inhibition, if required.
  • Capability to process all types of materials.

Industries that benefit from the wet blast process include:

  • Defence (Army, Navy, Air Force)
  • Motorcycle parts
  • Aerospace
  • Automotive
  • Metal & Plastic Extrusion
  • Jewellery Manufacturers
  • Valve Manufacturers
  • Stainless Steel Equipment Manufacturers
  • Oil & Gas
  • Water & Electrical Utilities
  • Rail
  • Electronic
  • Composites
  • Wire & Cable
  • Nuclear
  • Cutting Tools
  • Hydraulics, and more.

How does Vapour Blasting work?

  • Parts to be cleaned are secured in the work cabinet.
  • The pump motor is turned on, pumping a cleaning media consisting of water and fine glass beads at a constant low pressure but high volume slurry into the wet-blast gun.
  • Compressed air is injected into the mix inside the blast gun, further accelerating the media slurry onto the workpiece surface, gently cleaning and polishing it with a washing motion.
  • The transverse direction of much of the media contact with the job surface produces a brilliant clean finish without relying on impact or impingement that could damage the parts.
  • The Vapour Blasting process washes the work surface using the water-based slurry and air pressure to prevent any damage to valuable pieces.

By utilizing REDI-STRIP Vapour Blasting wet scrubbing method, surface contamination and deposits are removed, scale or burrs quickly disappear, leaving an immaculately cleaned surface free of impregnation or dimensional changes. The finished result is largely oil and stain resistant, retaining a brilliant shine like new.

Additionally, as a result of the vapour cleaning, the surface of this item has been conditioned by the Vapour Blasting method, ensuring it retains its original sheen for many years to come. The unpainted surface will remain free from paint chipping concerns. Unlike conventional bead or sand blasting, Vapour Blasting preserves the surface's appearance without altering the profile of the parts being cleaned.

REDI-STRIP Vapour Blasting eliminates the hassle of cleaning, ensuring your parts are impeccably clean and ready for use. Say goodbye to cleaning troubles with REDI-STRIP.

You can see the cleaned component half, ready for reassembly without the worry of dirt or contamination, compared to the non vapour-blasted side.

One advantage of this cleaning style is its precision; sections that shouldn't be cleaned can be taped off, ensuring they remain untouched. This flexibility allows for partial cleaning, as demonstrated with this piston and conrod, where only half of the assembly was cleaned to highlight the differences.

Observe the completely clean side of the piston, free from carbon deposits. The piston ring grooves are immaculate and ready for reassembly after completing the REDI-STRIP Vapour Cleaning process.

In this case, we cleaned only the water thermostat housing outlet to demonstrate the different finishes achievable with the Vapour blasting process. This picture shows the contrast between a conventionally washed item, as seen at the base, and the top thermostat housing, which has undergone REDI-STRIP Vapour Cleaning. The cleaned housing looks like a new item, despite being the same age as the base housing.

This old crankshaft was partially restored to a new appearance to demonstrate the capabilities of our process. Once fully cleaned, it will be ready for the reconditioning shop without any further damage.

This used auto bellhousing, now being used in a show car, looks better than new thanks to the REDI-STRIP Vapour Blasting service. Initially, the owner considered painting it due to its aged and corroded appearance from years of use. However, after our cleaning process, it looks fantastic and enhances the look of his new street machine.

This close-up photo of a Yamaha Go Kart head illustrates the difference between conventional and REDI-STRIP Vapour Cleaning methods. On the left, ingrained dirt, grit, and grease from 20 years of use have stained the metal, making it look grubby despite previous cleanings. On the right, the same head has been cleaned using our system, revealing a pristine finish. If fully cleaned with the REDI-STRIP Vapour Cleaning System, this Go Kart head could look like new again, ready for another season of intense competition.

Before

This V12 engine block, after many years of hard service, required a REDI-STRIP Vapourblast makeover. The block showed signs of pitting and corrosion, indicating its age and making it unsuitable for a new-like restoration in its current form. However, once it came to REDI-STRIP for servicing, the transformation began.

After

Look at what can be achieved with a 50-year-old alloy engine block — it's just like new!

And now, it's ready for the engine reconditioning process and, eventually, car show duties!
