Can I Buy Replacement Parts Online?

Are your vapor honing parts in need of replacement? Want to know where you can buy replacement parts online? On our webpage we have a tab where you can buy replacement parts for our machines. You have the option of buying gloves, a boron carbide nozzle, a replacement window, a window gasket, and many other items. Remember, the products on this list are not a part of our lifetime warranty program because they are consumable. Also, the time intervals between when you may have to replace certain pieces depends on how often you use your machine.

Gloves

Our gloves are a great example of an item that receives a lot of abuse. Our gloves, unsurprisingly wear out the quickest. Typically, it takes 6-8 months to wear them out; however, if you are a hobbyist and do not use our machine very often, they can last longer. Gloves wear out simply because they are subject to the same abrasion your parts are. Ultra violent light also dries the gloves out, causing them to crack. Occasionally, people get tiny holes in the glove, but most people replace them before that. Our gloves are molded from very durable 40-45 mil thick rubber, so being sprayed with an abrasive will not damage them. Size wise, they come in 7” for everything but the Micro Hone, which has 5” gloves.

Nozzles

Replace our nozzles approximately once a year. However, that time frame depends on what abrasive you are using. You replace a silicon carbide blasting tip every 10 months. Made from boron carbide, our nozzles are wear resistant. Depending on your machine, you will need to get either a 8mm, 10mm, or a 12mm. Our support team can determine the correct nozzle for your needs based on the abrasive and pressures you will be using.

Windows

Under normal conditions, you may need to replace your window every 10 to 12 months. Our windows are a polycarbonate material and are resilient to scratches and etching. Blasting the window, regardless of the media you are using, will damage it. Heavy usage of the window wiper, without proper window rinsing, can also expedite the need to replace your window. However, our windows do not get frosted like they would with sand blasting. Our website provides you with the option to choose your machine when replacing them, so you’re guaranteed you’re getting the right window.

Window Accessories

The upkeep of the window gasket is very important. When your gasket begins to fail, your window will start to leak, which is a pain. When looking to replace this feature, remember we offer this product by the foot, so measure yours before purchasing.

Pump Impeller

You can replace the high-volume pump’s impeller as well. The impellers are made of polyurethane for increased abrasion resistance. Due to this, the impeller should last a long, long time.

Those are some of the parts we have available for replacement online .

Tips to Help Maintain Your Cabinet

Though you can buy replacement parts online, maintaining your machine properly will extend your consumables’ lifespan. Here are some tips to help with that endeavor. Rinsing down your machine after each use prevents abrasive loss and hard-packing on the machine. Window cleaning guarantees the abrasive goes to the bottom of the machine to be used again. As for the gloves, pull them out of the cabinet once you finish blasting. This prevents fungal growth and promotes against cracking.

Refreshing the water and abrasive in your machine is also a great way to keep it fresh. To drain the dirty water out and retain your abrasive, use the top ball valve. When replacing the water and abrasive, use the bottom ball valve.

These practices will help maintain your machine and keep it working as efficiently as possible.

Conclusion

So, to keep your machine in tip-top working condition, all the replacement parts you could need are available to buy online. There are also ways to better maintain your machine so it works more efficiently and your parts last longer.
