Why We Use Quill Falcon
Why we use Quill Falcon’s industry leading wet blasting system. We use the unique and patented Quill Falcon Kwickblast System which combines water, blast media and air to provide an efficient, yet gentle, method of abrasive blasting.
How it works
Wet abrasive blasting (also known as vapor abrasive blasting) removes coatings, contaminants, corrosion and residues from hard surfaces. It’s similar to dry sand blasting, except that the blast media is moistened prior to impacting the surface.
The main advantage of vapor abrasive blasting over dry sand blasting is that it reduces dust, allowing for much better visibility and therefore better operational precision.
Vapor abrasive blasting is alternatively referred to as wet blasting, wet abrasive blasting, vapor blasting, slurry blasting, wet sandblasting and dustless blasting.
Wet abrasive blasting can substitute for dry sandblasting for virtually any application, but there are surfaces, conditions and environments for which wet blasting is especially advantageous.
Wet blasters can operate effectively at lower PSI, removing coatings without damaging the underlying substrate. Vapor abrasive blasting is a preferred method for blasting antique, fragile surfaces and soft surfaces (including wood). In addition, the presence of lubricating water reduces heat due to friction that can warp metal surfaces.
What sets the Quill Falcon System apart from conventional dry sandblasting?
There are a number of benefits to using the Quill Falcon method of abrasive blasting over conventional sandblasting, such as:
Ability to control output for greater precision and better results
Highly efficient with less dust forming in the atmosphere
Creates and reveals more even surfaces thanks to less heat and friction
More environmentally friendly
