The cut-away picture above shows how the Dana-Ridge wetblast process works.  The machine thoroughly agitates the media and water and draws from a collection point at the bottom of the sump.  It allows a highly efficient blast compared to other methods of wetblasting.

Benefits of the process

  • Provides a superior finish
  • Uses a high volume, low pressure pump allowing multi-gun operation
  • Air used only to atomise to obtain desired degree of aggressiveness of blasting.
  • Pump simultaneously provides sump agitation
  • Allows for both gentle or aggressive blasting with control over the air supplied to the process gun.
  • Little to no damage to more delicate parts. No heat-damage.
  • Recirculation of media giving long life and reduced costs.
  • Multi-gun system fed from single pump so uniformity of flow and concentration are maintained.
  • Bonus is simultaneous degreasing and rust inhibition.
  • Long working life from the glandless urethane-lined pump
  • Maximum use of space in the hopper as the pump is mounted to the back of the machine. This also allows ease of access for maintenance.
  • Using its scrubbing action, contamination, surface deposits, scale or burrs are quickly removed and carried away, leaving a very clean and smooth surface.
  • They are commercial grade machines able to operate hour after hour in a busy workshop.
Frequently Asked Questions
“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.
