NBS-WB36 Wet Blast Cabinet — 36" Vapor Blasting System

Precision Wet Blasting for Superior Surface Finishes

The NBS-WB36 is a professional wet blast (vapor blast) cabinet that combines water and fine abrasive media to deliver exceptionally smooth, uniform surface finishes impossible to achieve with dry blasting alone. Ideal for aluminum engine components, precision machined parts, and applications where surface integrity and dimensional accuracy are paramount.

Why Wet Blasting?

Unlike dry blasting, wet blasting cushions the abrasive impact with water, producing a finer, more uniform finish without embedding media into the workpiece. This eliminates dust completely, reduces media consumption by up to 60%, and preserves tight tolerances on precision components.

Key Features

• 36" work area with full wet blast (vapor hone) capability
• Closed-loop water/media recirculation system — minimal waste
• 12-gauge stainless steel interior — corrosion-proof construction
• Variable pressure control (20–100 PSI) for delicate to aggressive finishing
• Adjustable media-to-water ratio for finish control
• Zero dust operation — no external dust collection required
• Large drain valve for easy media/water changes
• Integrated pump system with filtration (no shop air needed for media flow)
• Panoramic viewing window with wiper system for clear visibility
• Includes 3 precision nozzle tips for different finish profiles
• Stainless steel turntable included for uniform 360° blasting

Technical Specifications

Compatible Media

Glass bead (80–220 mesh recommended), aluminum oxide (fine grit), ceramic beads, and specialty wet blast media. Not compatible with steel media or media that rusts in water.

Recommended Air Compressor

Minimum 5 HP compressor with 60+ gallon tank delivering 20 CFM @ 80 PSI. Lower pressure requirements than dry blasting due to water-assisted media delivery.

Applications

Aluminum engine components (intake manifolds, valve covers, carburetors), precision machined parts, medical devices, aerospace components, antique restoration, firearms, turbocharger housings, and any application requiring a satin or matte finish without dimensional change.

Shipping Information

Ships via LTL freight on a pallet. Please allow 10–14 business days for delivery. Unit ships dry — water and media must be sourced separately.
