Manufacturing

Increased Production, Reduced Costs

Lean manufacturers can cost-effectively increase production by reducing rework and eliminating unnecessary time-consuming steps. Sponge-Jet technology allows companies around the world to reduce the time associated with surface preparation by integrating it directly into the production site. Applications include:

  • High Tech & Light Manufacturing
  • Heavy Industry
  • Molded Parts (e.g. slush, pressure and injected)
  • Surface Finishing
  • Composite Manufacturing
  • Agricultural & Heavy Equipment
  • Wind Turbines
  • Food and Beverage
  • Pipe Manufacturers
  • Steel Fabricators

Less time is wasted on transportation to either an in-house blasting facility or outside third party. Overall quality is increased due to reduced handling, transportation and contamination from exposure to the elements.

Features & Benefits

  • Reduced rejection & rework (Six Sigma Quality)
  • Reliability of schedule & budget
  • Improve community relations and compliance
  • Reduce manufacturing steps improving integration
  • Increased production & profits
  • Equipment reliability and asset life extension

Manufacturing Användningsområden

  • Sponge-Jet Replaces Manual Hand-cleaning of Tire Molds

    Gulf-coast tire manufacturer chose Sponge-Jet to remove accumulated release agent from inside and outside mold surfaces; blasting compared to more time-consuming and inconsistent hand-cleaning saved significant time per mold.

  • Sponge-Jet Saves Manufacturer Hours in Labor Cleaning Slush Molds

    Automobile slush mold cleaning with Sponge-Jet for one manufacturer is a proven time and money saver; in some cases it cut cleaning up to eight hours per mold, without removing the leather-like shine in the end product.

  • Rejected Automobile Bumpers Are No Longer Discarded Because of Sponge-Jet

    Automobile bumper manufacturer now recycles rejected bumpers (from coating imperfections) because Sponge-Jet provides highly controllable micro-abrasion and the ability to selectively remove erroneously cured top-coat while leaving the primer intact.

  • Agricultural Equipment Manufacturer Builds Sponge-Jet into Part Restoration Process

    Largest industrial and agricultural equipment manufacturing facility in south America continues to use Sponge-Jet blasting in their production process to prepare repairs of steel parts; for example this front loader bucket.

  • Sponge-Jet Builds Special-access Blast Room Solution in Refinery

    Mexican oil refinery builds special-access Sponge Blasting KwietKave™ solution to blast and repair process parts; bringing blasting and painting operations like this one in-house saves time, money and has been found to improve quality.

  • Industrial Lift Manufacturer Incorporates Sponge-Jet into Refurbishment Operations

    Manufacturer of industrial lift equipment uses Sponge-Jet in a blast room in their manufacturing facility; product replacement and refurbishment operations are greatly simplified solutions when using low dust, low rebound Sponge Media™ abrasives.

  • Pump Manufacturer uses Sponge-Jet for Their On-site Coating Warranty Repairs

    Coating warranty for largest manufacturer of centrifugal slurry pumps; Sponge-Jet saves thousands in shipping and logistics by allowing Sponge Blasting near the pump seals and bearings at customer installation site.

  • Power Tooling vs Abrasive Blasting for Surface Prep

    Power tooling is a method of surface preparation commonly used in tight spaces where access is limited. Pneumatic, electric, and hand tools such as angle grinders, needle guns, wire wheels, wire brushes, scrapers, and sanding pads can be used to remove rust, paint, and other contaminants from a surface.
