Blacking carried out safely at room temperature
Traditional methods of 'blacking' iron and steel components involve the use of aggressive caustic-based solutions, but it now can be done at room temperature with friendlier chemicals.
Footprint of the Vapormate 3 is just 711mm (28in) x 1270mm (50in), height is 1753mm (69in) and the robust 10mm thick polyethylene processing enclosure measures 940mm (37in) wide x 699mm (27.5in) deep x 597mm (23.5in) high.
As well as high level fluorescent internal illumination, the processing enclosure has a white, reflective inner surface to enhance operator visibility.
The viewing window, made from toughened safety glass, is fitted with an internal full-width wiper and screen-wash unit.
The internal work support platform is made from stainless steel and is easily removable for maintenance purposes.
The coated mild steel machine support frame on the standard version of the Vapormate 3 includes three manually adjustable height positions, so that the processing enclosure can be raised or lowered to suit different operator heights and sitting or standing working positions.
A stainless steel support frame with an hydraulically operated variable height adjuster is available as an optional extra.
Other standard features of the Vapormate 3 include: a quick-release 1.1kW gland-less urethane pump which allows fast replacement in the event of pump failure; a lightweight, high efficiency 30m3/min blast gun (other capacities are available); and moving bed paper filtration for the removal of oil and debris.
The blast gun and window wash are both foot operated and the blast pressure control is easily visible and adjustable.
Services required are a 1/2in BSP air connection, a standard 1/2in water connection, and a 220VAC single-phase, 50/60Hz, 16A power supply.
Optional equipment includes an immersion heater for use when heated degreasing chemicals are required, and a recirculated rinse system to conserve water consumption.
