What we do
Water blasting is done in our own workshop — as the cleaning stage before any housing restoration, rebuild or finishing. Decades of oil and dirt come off; the substance of the part stays untouched.
The decisive difference to solid blasting media: nothing stays behind. No grain in an oil gallery, no dust in a bearing seat. That is exactly why water blasting is the right choice for gearbox parts — residue decides bearing life.
What it gives you
A clean starting point
only on a cleaned housing do cracks, worn threads and run-in bearing seats become visible — the assessment becomes reliable.No abrasive residue
the part can be assembled or further treated without elaborate re-cleaning.Gentle on soft metals
magnesium and aluminium housings keep their surface and their dimensions.
Typical applications
- Gearbox housings before a rebuild or before magnesium pickling
- Oil-soaked fittings, covers and flanges before assembly
- Parts that go on to our partners for plating, powder coating or paint
Why we rely on water — and where sand or glass blasting reaches its limits — is covered in detail in our guide Cleaning gearbox housings: water blasting instead of sand blasting.
