The AquaBlast WheelBlaster uses wetblasting technology to simytaneously blast, wash, and prepare alloy wheels after kerb damage in one quick and simple step, ready for painting and lacquering.
The machine combines the standard six stage process of manually preparing wheels into one application, and can reduce the application time from one hour per wheel to just three minutes in one compact cabinet.
The process uses water mixed with an abrasive to blast the wheel inside the machine to create an etched finish, ready for the next stage of the repairing process. The use of water in the application ensures that no media is impregnated onto the alloy wheel. The water also provides a washing action and does not strip the wheel back to bare metal.
Vixen has desgined a revolutionary new wetblasting machine specifically for smart alloy wheel repairs – The Aquablast Wheelblaster.
Why choose the Aquablast Wheelblaster?
Vixen’s Aquablast Wheelblaster is designed exclusively for the operator working in the automotive industry.
The dry blasting method of finishing alloy wheels creates dust, which is a major hazard in the body shop enviornment, and also requires additional washing / drying facilities before the wheel can be painted and lacquered. The wetblasting process used in the Aqublast Wheelblaster does not require a specific room for siting, eliminated the risk of dust and combines all of the preparation process in one cabinet – ideal for the workplace.
