Genesis offer a range of dry blasting (often referred to as vapour honing) and Aqua blasting (also known as wet blasting), both of which are often specified to enhance the appearance of components and give a uniform surface finish either on bare metal parts or those requiring further decorative or protective finishes. Other applications can be to remove oxide, rust, surface imperfections and light burrs from parts whilst leaving a nice aesthetic finish.

​

This surface finishing technique can be applied to all kinds of industrial parts manufactured from materials such as Steel, Stainless steel, Aluminium along with other non-ferrous alloys and plastics.

​

Vapor Honing

This is a dry blasting process which is done in our Guyson Euroblast cabinet. The machine itself can use various types of media to achieve different results although the one we mainly use here at Genesis is called Guyson Honite which is a premium quality soda-lime glass bead. It is manufactured specifically for impact blast finishing applications and is a chemically inert, iron-free product, available in a range of bead sizes and can be used for a wide variety of cleaning, finishing and peening operations.

​

Aqua Blasting

This is a wet blasting process which is done in our Vixen Aquablast 1215 and is suitable for small and medium to large sized components. We use a Ceramic bead media in this machine which clean the parts by flow, thereby eliminating impact, resulting in a 'soft' finish with the water acting as a lubricant.

​

Ceramic beads are a very durable media providing effective cleaning power with no surface contamination to deliver a smooth satin finish which can be handled without leaving finger marks. They are suitable for blasting and cleaning the surface of all kinds of industrial parts from a wide range of industries some of which include medical (including implants to robotic attachments), motor (including heritage bike and car parts), marine, aerospace, and many more where the importance is not to damage to the component.
