Wet blasting specialist Vapormatt is offering businesses that have neither the space nor the capital to buy their own machinery a contract surface processing service.
Companies can now outsource all aspects of their surface processing to one of Vapormatt's Contract Process Centres.
A wide range of surface processing services is available: from degreasing to deburring; polishing to preparation for coatings and bonding; as well as a range of aesthetic finishes.
The service is offered, says Vapormatt, at a price comparable – often even cheaper – to processing in-house. Outsourcing also ensures customers save time and maintain flexibility in their production schedules, it adds.
Services include shot peening, which increases the life of critical components that are vulnerable to fatigue failure; coating preparation, in which surface finish for customers looking to anodise, paint, phosphate or vacuum coat their parts results in increased durability in the final product; and bonding preparation, which delivers a consistent finish that does not damage the substrate but makes components easier to bond.
