Aquablast® Indexing
Highly adaptable with many fixturing configurations to process your components consistently every time
Our Indexing solutions enable the full processing coverage of many varying and complex components due to the processing nature of an indexable satellite solution.
Our indexing and satellite solutions are serving many industries globally
Aquablast® Indexing
The Indexing process is generally referred to as and indexing and or satellite processing. The overall machine, number of stations and satellites can be specified to the diameter and numbers that suits your application and components.
The satellites as pictured here are designed with bespoke fixtures that match your components and enable them to be held securely whilst processing. As in the picture we can also design fixtures to mask certain areas of components if needed.
The machine will also be fitted with blast guns mounted to a arm that can be fixed or have additional axis' that allow for movement to process components whilst the component is also rotating on its own axis. Speed of movement on the gun arm, satellite and all other parameters such as gun to component distance etc. will be part of our process development and sample processing with you.
The number of guns and all parameters and specification of the solution will be discussed and worked on in our collaborative and partnership approach to supplying you with the best solution, process and service for your requirements.
Some of the industries we supply the indexing and satellite solutions into:
Aerospace: Surface prep on engine components at OEMs or cleaning of components as part of MRO operations. Specifically blade root and airfoil applications and transmission shafts.
Tooling manufacturers: Surface prep for carbide cutting tools such as RST and Hobs as part of pre & post coat processing.
Process driven solutions
Our aim is to work with you and supply you the process and solution(s) to meet your requirements. This can be done with one of our manual or automatic solutions.
Many of our solutions, even the standard offering will be bespoke for your specific requirement. 99% of the time even the standard solutions have some bespoke nature to tailor them to each individual requirement. However, we also build a large amount of bespoke solutions for niche markets or industries. please contact us to discuss any requirements so that we can work together to offer the best solution for your requirements.
Our equipment is designed with our process and your requirements in mind whilst utilising our years of experience and process knowledge twined with our automation, we can provide a complete solution that delivers control and consistency to give you the perfect finish every time.

We also design and manufacture washing equipment which in many cases complements our Wet blasting solutions.
In many applications we have implemented solutions that incorporate both blasting and washing in a one step process where needed which can remove handling steps and add increase efficiency.
