Reduce cobalt leaching with the new Ocelot machine

THIS patented innovation from the world-leading wet blasting specialist significantly reduces washing cycles and drying times while also simplifying the process.

The stainless steel Ocelot is one of the most compact all-in-one units on the market, and features a de-ionised water plant, air and water filtration systems and a vacuum unit.

As a patented process the Vapormatt washing and drying process is already proving to be up to ten times faster than other alternatives. To prevent re-contamination during processing all of the drying air and de-ionised water is filtered to five microns.

Vapormatt have developed some of the highest levels of expertise in the world when it comes to the edge honing cleaning and polishing of cutting tools after grinding. Constantly innovating Vapormatt have developed systems that can incorporate up to seven processes allowing manufacturers to bring several stages into one system.

Our applications are very well suited to the manufacturers of tungsten carbide and high speed steel inserts, round shank tools, hobs, taps and milling cutters. With some of the largest systems on the globe available for this application Vapormatt are able to give you the capacity to process up to 30,000 pieces per day.

The application of a radius to the critical cutting edges of your tools will greatly improve the tool life and consequently increase the value of each component and making the ability to achieve uniformity and control in this application highly profitable. Having patented several pump designs, process control and jigging methods Vapormatt can provide controllable wet blast processes which consistently and accurately achieve edge radii within +/- 10um of your specification.

As well as offering very consistent edge radii the wet blasting process also offers further benefits. With Vapormatt systems utilising up-to 32 gun heads during processing all tools subject to the Vapormatt wet blast process responds extremely well to any downstream PVD or CVD coatings that may be applied. With a Vapormatt finish any coatings that are applied will be significantly more durable when compared with alternative processes.
