HERMETIK: efficient solutions for blasting aluminum
Oxides, so-called scale, on the surface of metals can lead to material defects in the workpiece during the rolling process, which makes residue-free descaling in aluminum production a crucial step in the production process. HERMETIK’s oxide washing solutions have a market-leading position here, as they represent an efficient and environmentally friendly method of blasting aluminum. With so-called descaling rotors, HERMETIK’s patented rotating nozzle headers, the material surface is treated with high-pressure water and completely freed of oxides, oxide inclusions and contaminants – only the defect-free workpiece remains.
The powerful Hermetik oxide washers offer numerous advantages when descaling in aluminum production:
Enviroment friendly:
By using high-pressure water jets instead of a pickling process, the use of environmentally harmful chemicals in the descaling process is eliminated.
No abrasive additives in the water, just the brute force of up to 43k psi high-pressure water.
Efficient:
Descaling with high-pressure water can be seamlessly integrated into the production process, saving time, costs and energy.
Flawless:
Using hydropower and high pressure, HERMETIK descaling systems produce a completely oxide-free aluminum surface.

By using a HERMETIK water milling descaler, even extremely resistant oxides can be efficiently removed from the aluminum surface. The innovative, rotating nozzle head reliably mills off the surface, which leads to optimal preparation for the further production process. After descaling in aluminum production, it is ensured that the milled-off scale particles are filtered and processed from the descaling water circuit in order to ensure the longevity of the nozzles and to minimize costly maintenance.
We attach great importance to sustainability and only use water for the descaling process, which completely eliminates the use of chemicals and abrasive additives. This environmentally friendly method not only simplifies water treatment, but also helps to protect the environment and reduce your operating costs.
HERMETIK: First-class descaling in aluminum production
The production of defect-free aluminum castings presents producers with a technical challenge: after casting, the surface of the workpiece is covered with inclusions and a layer of various oxides and alloys containing copper, iron, manganese, nickel, silicon and others.
These oxides, which adhere extremely firmly to the aluminum core and which must be removed to produce a flawless surface made of pure aluminum, include:
- Magnesium aluminum oxide(Al2MgO4)
- Magnesium oxide (MgO)
- Silicon dioxide (SiO2)
- Aluminum oxide (Al2O3)
A common process for cleaning aluminum is the mechanical milling off-line processing of the slabs. This complex process, which requires an interruption of the production line, can be completely replaced by a high-pressure water milling system from HERMETIK. Our water milling descaler was developed for online use in continuous casting plants and enables significant time savings in the production process.

Blasting aluminum with HERMETIK – Very powerful and yet finely adjustable.
Unlike other surface treatment methods, our technology allows precise control of the flow through the rotating nozzle headers, allowing us to adjust the intensity of the treatment of the workpiece as required. This fine control mechanism allows us to target specific areas of the workpiece with different levels of pressure or force, resulting in a customized surface treatment.
In contrast, conventional processes such as grinding or chemical surface treatment treat the entire surface with a uniform intensity without taking into account the specific properties or requirements of individual areas.
