Wet Sand Blasting: Powerful Surface Cleaning & Preparation
Wet sand blasting, also known as hydroblasting, is an advanced industrial surface cleaning method that offers exceptional cleaning, coating removal, and surface preparation. It combines the high-pressure water with abrasive media; this technique effectively removes stubborn contaminants while significantly reducing dust generation. YantraCraft has brought a high-pressure hydro blasting equipment 500 bar, engineered to meet the demands of industries, ensuring efficiency, safety, and consistent performance across applications.
What is Wet Sand Blasting?
Wet sand blasting is a process where the abrasive is mixed with pressurized water and directed onto a surface at a high velocity through nozzles. The water acts as a carrier and dust suppressant, making the process safer and cleaner compared to traditional dry blasting. This method is widely used in industries where:
- Dust control is important.
- Surface integrity must be preserved.
- High-quality surface preparation is required.
Wet sand blasting not only cleans surfaces but also prepares them for further treatments such as painting, coating, and welding. High pressure hydro jetting equipment 350 bar, can also be used for such applications requiring low-pressure input.
Key Features of YantraCraft’s Hydro Blasting Machine
- High operating pressure for effective removal of rust, scale, paint, and coatings.
- Heavy-duty construction potential for continuous industrial use.
- It has an efficient water and abrasive mixing system for consistent blasting performance.
- It ensures a safe working environment by reducing dust emissions.
- It is compatible with a variety of different abrasive media.
- It is easy to maintain, minimising downtime.
Working Mechanism of YantraCraft’s Hydro Blasting Machine
The YantraCraft’s hydro blasting machine works by pressurizing water through a high-performance pump. The abrasive media is then introduced into the water stream through a controlled mechanism. This high-energy mixture is then expelled through a specifically designed nozzle.
The step-by-step process:
- Firstly, water is pressurized using a high-pressure pump.
- Then, abrasive media is mixed with the water stream.
- The mixture is then discharged through a blasting nozzle.
- The contaminants are removed under pressure.
- At last, the loosened debris is then washed away using water.
Applications of Hydro Blasting
- Removal of dust, rust, paint, and coatings from metal surfaces.
- Cleaning of industrial machinery and heavy equipment.
- Surface preparation before painting or coating.
- Cleaning tanks, vessels, pipelines, and heat exchangers.
- Concrete surface cleaning.
- Shipyards and marine maintenance.
- Manufacturing power plants and industrial plants.
Benefits of Hydro Blasting
- It generates less dust and improves operator safety.
- It is an environmentally friendly process with negligible airborne pollution.
- It prevents surface overheating and reduces material distortion.
- It provides superior surface finishing.
- It improves coating adhesion.
- It is suitable for delicate and heavy-duty surfaces alike.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is wet sand blasting?
Wet sand blasting is a method of surface cleaning that uses a slurry of water and abrasive media forced by compressed air to clean, debur, polish, hone, peen, or prepare the surface for coating.
What are the benefits of wet blasting?
It refines the surface without creating dust, air pollution, and prevents overheating. It not only cleans the surface but also produces a highly reactive and clean surface for coating.
What media is used for wet sand blasting?
Some of the common media types used in wet basting include glass beads, garnet, crushed glass, and aluminium oxide.
