Vapor Blasting Makes Dirty Parts Look Brand New Again!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We see a lot of engines and parts with baked on grease and filth here at MotoIQ and our go-to place to get them cleaned up is Mountune USA in Carson, California. Mountune uses a process called vapor blasting which is basically shooting the parts in a cabinet with high pressure water mixed with a fine media. Watch today's video to find out how it all works!

Whenever i let anyone have a go on my vapour blaster people always wave it around in the cabinet.. (hehe) Yeah vixen, great machines but, If you are methodical you'll get good results from having a technique. I had my machine a year before i really got my head around all the little things involved. But so glad i did. If you have the budget go the Vixen route, if you don't study other youtubers who blast and you'll get there. Remember, having a dry blaster with same size bead as the wet blaster is a thing that's not talked about, dry blasting with bead!! That is a great way to preclean stuff before vapour blasting "same bead as wet blasting"!! After doing this both my vapour blaster and dry blaster perform better and i don't have to change out the water and media as much, Thanks for the great video guys.
That’s awesome. I love seeing good safety practices on blast cleaning.
I love putting clean parts back on a vehicle. Cool technology 👍👍
How did I know they would be using Vixen long before I saw the cabinet. They are by far the best unit made. Quality costs, but they are the best.
Essentially the wet sanding method of media blasting 👍🏾
For pitted areas you can blend with dry and polish with wet.
Great video very satisfying
love the vibes
Very nice
Wow! like new without distortion!
I like that wiper action in that blast booth 😎😃!!

helps with efficiency as visibility is constantly blurred with the sand dripping and setting on the glass, but there's probably more frequent changes of protective screen otherwise i imagine the wiper would scuff up the window surface

It’s just like dustless blasting but in a cabinet. That’s sweet. I been thinking about getting a dustless blasting setup.

How does it compare to dry ice?

Most of the difference is gonan come in at cost and how gentle the blasting is. Dry ice can be very gentle to even plastic parts,doesnt have to be isolated to a media cabinet and parts can be done on the car. Vapor honing is gentler than dry meda blasting but isnt goign to be as delicate as dry ice. Dry ice blasters can be insanely expensive compared to wet media cabinets. Each process has its place depending on what you want to clean up.

Are you using a maintained foot pedal. I tried the bend and spray rinse nozzle not a fan went to a plastic rinse nozzle.

Is it better than walnut media for cleaning valves and inlets on gasoline direct injection motors?
@motoiq
Жыл бұрын
Walnut is more delicate on the valve sealing surfaces and if ingested by the engine less harmful.
@axisvaporhoningindustries4312
Жыл бұрын
Advantage of walnut shells is you can clean the heads without removing from an engine where as vapor honing would require complete disassembly.
One wonders how this process would work on the fins of air-cooled engines.
