Product catalog summary
Overview
The Vapormatt Lion Rotary machine is an automated wet blasting system designed for components with a surface of revolution or those that can be held vertically. It accommodates components up to 430mm in diameter, 559mm in length, and weighing 91kg.
Key Features
  • Durable stainless steel construction with corrosion resistance.
  • Enhanced surface finish compared to traditional methods.
  • Consistent slurry quality through effective filtration.
  • Low noise and clean operation due to a fully enclosed design.
Industries and Applications
  • Industries: Aerospace, Composites.
  • Applications: Component cleaning, Surface preparation, Paint removal, Titanium scale removal.
Processing Description
The machine uses a rotary index principle with zones for loading, blasting, rinsing, and unloading. Components are processed with angled nozzles and can be optionally dried.
Component Detection
Sensors prevent double placement of components, aiding future integration.
Blasting and Rinsing Description
Utilizes Vapormatt Mk3 guns with motorized vertical movement. Rinsing uses a re-circulated and filtered system.

Standard Vapormatt Mk3 guns will be included. Two Mk3 guns may be used and mounted at opposing angles to ensure coverage of the critical areas. Both guns can be mounted on either a manually adjustable gun arm or a motorised horizontal axis. This will be used to select the blast range. A motorised vertical axis will be used to move the wet blast the rotating components. The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) recipe controls the movements. The removal of the broken particles shall be done with the use of hydro cyclones to ensure the slurry is of consistent quality. Media dosing is recommended to ensure...
