• Advanced Automation: PLC-controlled operation with programmable nozzle and turntable movements for repeatable, high-quality results.
• Eco-Friendly & Efficient: Closed-loop water and media recycling system reduces consumption and operational costs.
• Compact Footprint: Space-saving design delivers powerful performance without requiring a large facility footprint.

FAQs

Wet blasting uses a water-based slurry, which eliminates airborne dust and the risk of sparks. This makes it significantly safer, especially for metal parts, and means the system does not need to comply with strict ATEX explosion-protection regulations, simplifying installation and operation.

While it is especially developed for metal printed parts, the S1 Wet is also highly effective for cleaning and surface finishing polymer components, making it a versatile solution for facilities working with multiple materials.

The S1 Wet includes an integrated closed-loop system that filters and recycles both the blasting media and process water. This reduces consumption, minimizes waste, and lowers operating costs while maintaining consistent process quality.

The S1 offers a high degree of automation. You can store up to 30 recipes in the system. For automated operation, load the parts, select the recipe, and the machine handles the rest, including nozzle positioning and cycle timing, ensuring hands-off, reproducible results.

The system can process very small parts (5x5x5 mm) up to larger components with a maximum size of Ø 400 mm x 500 mm (Height).

The S1 Wet is ideal for cleaning (removing residual powder), surface homogenization, and smoothing. By using different abrasive media, you can achieve a range of surface finishes, from matte to smooth..

The process uses a controlled slurry and is designed for metal components. The water cushioning effect actually reduces the risk of media impregnation into the surface compared to some dry blasting methods. The closed-loop system includes water conditioning to maintain process stability.
