Ultrasonic cleaning of EGRs
EGR valves are used in diesel engines to reduce NOx emissions. The EGR process involves recirculating hot exhaust gases back into the engine’s cylinders to lower the combustion temperature and reduce NOx formation. This technology is often used to meet emission standards, such as Euro 5.
DPF Filter Cleaning & Inlet manifolds.
While this particular article is about Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) cleaning and maintenance, we thought it might be beneficial to review some basics about DPF and why cleaning is so critical.
De-Carbonization Specialist
Engine de-carbonization is the process of removing carbon deposits from a vehicle’s internal combustion engine, which can improve its efficiency, performance, and fuel efficiency. This process helps restore the engine to its original condition and can extend its life.
Automotive Applications
cylinder heads, engine blocks, Carburetors, inlet manifolds, pistons, conrods, camshafts, crankshafts, valves, timing gears, superchargers, turbo chargers, exhaust manifolds, extractors, tappet covers, timing covers, throttle bodies, bell housings, gearboxes, power steering units, brake calipers, suspension parts, Differencials, wheels.
Motorcycle Applications
Heads, Cylinders, Crank Cases, Carburetors, Complete Engines, Side Covers, Water pumps, Gears, Triple Clamps, Swing Arms, Forks, Brake parts, Frames.

Aqua Blasting, also known as Vapour Blasting.
Types of Metals - Applications of Vapour Blasting - Advantages of Vapor Blasting
aqua blasting also known as vapour blasting
Vapour blasting is a new service that is quickly becoming an industry standard for high-end mechanical restorations in Australia. It involves using water with non-toxic properties to clean surfaces without damaging them. Vapour blasting can be used on a wide range of materials, including metals, rubber, and plastics, and is particularly useful for cleaning delicate parts and restoring precision mechanical components. It leaves the underlying substrate intact, making it ideal for restoring automotive and motorcycle parts, as well as other metal items.
Types of Metals
apour blasting is effective on aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin, titanium, zinc, brass and other non-ferrous metals and alloys. Vapor blasting works by using an abrasive (usually glass bead) in a water solution that is accelerated by compressed air and produces a very uniform soft closed surface finish that is clean and degreased.
Rates $100 p/h
Ship your parts to us, drop them off, or, if time permits, we can blast while you wait! Shave hours off work time, here are some typical examples:
- ATV engine case: 0.5-1hr
- Aluminum rim (clear coat previously removed): 1hr
- V8 aluminum intake: 1hr
- Two-cylinder motorcycle engine including crankcase, side covers, heads, cylinders: 3hrs
The actual time required depends on the size and condition of the piece. The cleaner the part is when we receive it means less time for us, and bigger savings for you. If moving parts require disassembly or degreasing, this is done at our shop rate. We suggest having the piece completely cleaned and degreased with any silicone sealers, paint, or clear coat removed to maximize your savings.
Applications of Vapour Blasting
- Surface finish for engines in automotive and motorcycle restoration
- Cleans cavities, vents including complex and tight geometries of loose particles, dust, resin contaminates on the mold substrate
- Re-conditioning & cleaning of industrial valves and components.
- Routine maintenance of injection molding
- Platen maintenance and cleaning
- Cleaning dies and molds maintaining their success rates providing a longer service life
- Polishes and does not harm dies and reduces time on manual inspection
- Honing, deburring and flushing unwanted shavings and raised particles
- Cleaning and descaling of heat-treated parts
- Surface preparation prior to bonding, repainting, re-coating or composite such as anodizing, nickel plating, chrome, titanium nitride
Cleans and restores aluminum rims - Aviation restoration
- Boat running gears, final drives and props
- Surface hardening of turbines without altering weight and shape
- Surface prep for aircraft grade parts to be anodized
Advantages of Vapor Blasting
- Nondestructive cleaning
- Powerful cleaning without damage to material and their profiles
- Flowing water cleans and cushions bead media so it does not break down and become jagged
- Cleans non-ferrous metals for restoring and maintaining the part
- NO etching, pitting, scouring, particles embedded or abrade the surface texture.
- Does not hurt or wear out parting lines, shut offs, roll over edges etc.
- Will not damage threaded holes
- Reduces time on manual inspection for machine
- NO rounded off corners
- Does not introduce heat resulting in deformation
- Removes industrial coatings without damage
- Prepares surfaces prior to bonding coatings, and composites for new finishes
- Safer way to debur unwanted shavings and raised particles of metal finishing with a high velocity of water and media
- Preventing molds from rust and oxidation and residue left on the surface
- Peening the surface hardens without changing the weight or geometrics
- Safe on some gaskets & plastics
- Leaving a clean, soft satin finish making them look better than new bringing them back to life
- Cleans fast, easy and efficient minimizing downtime
- Environmentally Friendly
- No harmful chemicals, purging compounds or dry ice are used
- Dust free process, eliminates 95% of dust associated with dry blasting which is safer for the environment
- Cost effective due to recycling the slurry using less water and waste saving time and money
- Promotes longer media life not breaking down to damage surface
- Leaving a clean smoother superior finish
