Do you get tired of wearing a mask while operating a dry blast machines? If so, then vapor honing is for you. Over the years, vapor honing machine became widely used in the United States because it has many benefits such as being dustless. In Europe, due to regulations, sandblasting is banned because it emits dust into the air. Even if you wear a mask, the area around you still contains the emitted dust. Inhaling dust from sandblasting can cause lung damage and potentially lung disease such as Silicosis.

As for vapor honing machine, one factor about wet blasting is that dust emissions is as little as none.

Dustless

The reason why vapor honing machines do not emit dust is because the abrasive is mixed with water. In a vapor honing machine, when the abrasive and water make direct contact with the part. The water cushions the abrasive causing it to break less. The water also acts like a barrier and carries the abrasives with it therefore containing the abrasive from being airborne. Because wet blasting is dustless, I can breathe freely without any mask covering my face. Our machines is also environmentally friendly and the abrasives is easy to dispose of. Owning a vapor honing machine, you will be able to work alongside other people.

Another benefit about vapor honing machines being dustless is the visibilities. When you see clearly, you don’t have to try so hard to see what you are blasting. That means less strained eyes and less taking break.

Also, all consumables in a wet blast machine last eight to ten times longer than a traditional dry blast machine. Meaning you will spend less money compared to a dry blast machines such as sandblasting.

Dusty

As for dry blast machine, dust appears when the abrasive makes direct contact with the part. That will cause the abrasive media to break apart into smaller pieces. Meaning that you will have to buy abrasives more often than a wet blast machine. Because the abrasive does not have anything to hold it down it becomes airborne with compressed air.
