The output from Dana-Ridge’s range of industrial wetblast machines is superior to traditional sandblasting and this can be a crucial difference in aviation applications for example

Considerations for starting your business

Marine

Marine equipment is subject to a harsh environment and parts can get into quite a state. The great thing about the wetblast process is that you can make stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminium look like new without destroying the component. Perfect for marine applications.

Extrusion Dies

Several customers use our machines to restore extrusion dies. The process cleans them up without destroying them like you would in a dry unit. Dies can be very expensive so keeping them in good working order for longer means huge savings. The wet blast process is the way to go.

3-D printing

The process can be used to remove powdered polymers and reveal the newly 3D printed parts

Removing powder Coating

Tough enough to blast off powder coating. Changing the media and the air pressure is quick and easy and allows for a variety of finishes/speed of processing.
Aggressive or gentle, simply choose the settings that suit your needs best.

“I bought a Wet-blasting machine from these guys 10 years ago, and we have used it in a commercial capacity. It gets used most days and some times for 3-4hrs a day.
It has been great, super reliable, no major problems or failures, we do maintain it on a regular basis but probably less than is recommended (Sorry).
I can’t thank the Guys at Dana Ridge enough for all their help and advice and superb service over the years, they have always been there if we have needed them.
If you’re looking for a Wet-blasting machine I highly recommend them.”

We couldn’t be happier with our Mars Wet Blaster. The machine is reliable, simple to use, and easy to maintain. It can be long periods between uses, then intense use for entire days, and the machine functions wonderfully. We thoroughly recommend Dana-Ridge for service, advice, and rapid response.
