For High Quality Finishing. Vapour blasting or wet blasting is non-destructive which makes it an ideal process for cleaning many components to the highest standard and produces a smooth, satin finish.
Based near Cust, close to Christchurch, Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Amberley, Rolleston, Ohoka, Oxford and Methven.
Whether it's for for Antique - Vintage - Classic - Modern - Rally - Road - Race.
All metals can be process by Vapour Blasting with excellent results. Aluminium castings in particular look “like new” after this process.
The peening effect of vapor blasting actually seals the microscopic pores on the surface, the part will not absorb grease and dirt like a dry blasted part will. Surfaces are not affected, precision tolerances, such as bearing fits and piston size will not be changed.
Vapour blasting uses water and mildly abrasive media to clean metal surfaces without actually wearing away any of the metal - unlike sand-blasting which is a far more destructive process.
The water buffers and lubricates the particles on impact allowing very fine finishes to be produced without damage to the component.
The end result is a far finer finish and no abrasive media is left behind because it is all washed away with the water, to restore components to a "like new" condition, producing a smooth, satin finish.
Vapour blasting is also great for surface preparation for bonding, polishing, welding, or coating of parts & components.
Cleaning the topography of the surface this provides an excellent surface for plating.
The flushing action of combined water and abrasive allows optimal surface cleanliness and preparation for final metal plating - Nickel, Chrome, Brass or Silver.

If you are looking to restore almost any engine parts, fittings or components then vapour blasting is the route you should take.
It's great for engine parts that have aged over time and for people looking to return engines and other components to a "like new" condition.
What is the size and weight limit for vapour blasting parts?
Most disassembled motorcycle/car engine, suspension and other components can be handled in the 1200mm (Interal Dimensions H 1200mm D 700mm W 1150mm) blast cabinet with a weight up to 150kg.
We do have a van that's in and around Christchurch twice a week for picking up and dropping off parts and components for Vapor Blast Canterbury, so if we can help you give us a call.

We do our best to remove blast media, however there is always the risk that some media residue may remain. It is the customer’s responsibility to check that no traces of media remain, and that the cleaned parts are suitably clean and decontaminated prior to re-assembly after blasting.
Vapour Blasting is becoming a top priority for many automotive and motorcycle workshops. Why? With vapour blasting you can clean restore and protect with one simple step using wet blasting. With the flow based topography following nature of the wet slurry you can clean corrosion, oxidation, carbon, rust and years of grime and tarnish out of the tightest places. No other process compares when it comes to not only cleaning but surface finishing parts for a rebuild or partial restoration ..
When you're rebuilding a engine to be better than new, it has to look like it too and not just on the outside.
Vapour blasting, also known as Aqua, Vapor, Wet Honing, Water and Wet blasting, is a great way to restore metal components to a "like new" condition, cleaning to the highest standard and producing a smooth, satin finish.
Vapour blasting uses water and mildly abrasive media to clean metal surfaces without actually wearing away any of the metal - unlike sand-blasting which is a far more destructive process. The end result is a far finer finish and no abrasive media is left behind because it is all washed away with the water.
