EXPLORE OUR APPLICATION SOLUTIONS:
Waterjet Blasting for Ceramic Shell & Core Removal
High pressure waterjet blasting is the ideal solution for ceramic shell and core removal on investment, lost wax, or plaster casting for any material.
A fully automated solution, blasting allows for removal of 99% or more of the shell in a single operation without chemical leaching, manual waterblast, and bead blasting.
Automated High-Pressure Waterjet is highly applicable to core removal and yields high productivity with precisely directed rotating waterjet, unaltered inner surface finish and geometry, and is an eco-friendly and operator-safe solution.
Waterjet Coating Removal for Aero Engines Components & IGT
Shape Process Automation’s ultrahigh-pressure waterjet stripping (WJS) solutions remove tough coatings on aero-engine and IGT components with ease. With a shearing force higher than the strength limit of the material, soft and hard deposits like thermal barriers, wear-resistance, or corrosion-protection, and resins, adhesives, rubbers and more, are removed efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively.Â
Our highly efficient rotary system – Aqualance™ – offers an array of jet options. Aqualance boasts 1500 hours before a major maintenance interval – up to 5x the lifetime of competitor systems.
