Cleans & dries
04 June 2015
Designed to both clean and dry wet blasted cemented carbide inserts at one station prior to coating., Vapormatt has launched a new washing and drying machine.

The Ocelot is a patented innovation from the world-leading wet blasting specialist that significantly reduces washing cycles and drying times while also simplifying the process.
The stainless steel Ocelot is one of the most compact all-in-one units on the market, and features a de-ionised water plant, air and water filtration systems and a vacuum unit. The pre-programmed washing programmes will remove any blast media left on the surface with customers experiencing less than 1 particle per 1mm2.
Additionally, drying times of only one minute prevent any cobalt leaching and use vacuums to remove all moisture from the surface with less energy and heat than air knives. As a patented process, the Vapormatt washing and drying process is already proving to be up to ten times faster than other alternatives. To prevent re-contamination during processing, all of the drying air and de-ionised water is filtered to five microns.
