TORBO - Abrasive wet blasting system
TORBO abrasive wet blasting, is a system that uses abrasive mixed with water in a tank. It uses 80% abrasive and 20 % water and this mixture is under pressure of 12 bar in the tank.
The blasting of the mixture is done with the use of compressed air.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Each grain is micro encapsulated with water, held on by surface tension. This increases the mass of the grit to increase the hitting power. It also files as a perfect sphere in the airflow, increasing the speed and is lubricated to almost eliminate hose and nozzle wear.
BANG! the grit stops dead, embedding in the surface coating. The water jacket continues moving but still holding onto the grain by surface tension, giving a second hammer blow and stopping any grit bounce.
BANG! the water jacket jerks round the grit into the crack, under the coating and hydrostatically blasts a large amount of surface coating away.
The end result - a profiled surface, feathered edges and the most efficient use of the least amount of grit and water possible
