Vaniman Problast Micro Abrasive Blaster

ESD-Safe Removal for Conformal Coating & Parylene

The Vaniman Problast Micro Blaster is now available from SCH Technologies, an authorised UK & European distributor.

Trusted for precision PCB cleaning, conformal coating removal, and Parylene rework, the ESD-safe Problast 3 is the industry standard for safe, accurate, and repeatable rework in electronics, aerospace, defence, and medical sectors.

As part of our philosophy of delivering complete turnkey solutions, SCH not only supplies equipment but also provides process expertise, training, and ongoing technical support. With UK stock, spare parts, and integration into our own conformal coating and Parylene services, SCH helps ensure your rework process is efficient, reliable, and protected against ESD risk.

Need a Larger Chamber?

If your PCBs or assemblies won’t fit inside the Problast 3 ESD chamber, Vaniman also offers a larger ESD-safe model:

  • Master Problast Titan ESD – large-chamber ESD cabinet for oversized boards and easier access (approx. 24” W Γ— 23” H Γ— 34” D)
  • Same ESD-safe principle – grounded cabinet + ionised airflow for static control
  • Same recommended extraction – StoneVac II (consistent setup)

Conformal Coating & Parylene Removal

Vaniman Problast Micro Abrasive Blaster is one of the most effective ESD-safe tools for:

  • Parylene rework – remove Parylene from PCBs, connectors, or masked zones without damaging the board
  • Conformal coating rework – strip Acrylic, Urethane, Silicone, and Epoxy coatings for inspection or repair
  • Selective removal – expose test points, grounding pads, or solder joints with pinpoint accuracy

With its ESD-safe design, the Problast 3 is ideal for delicate electronics work. By using micro-abrasive blasting instead of solvents, you reduce chemical handling, speed up rework, and improve repeatability.

NEW: VanAcrylic Thermoset Plastic Media

Pair the Problast 3 ESD with Vaniman’s VanAcrylic thermoset plastic blasting media for faster, safer conformal coating and Parylene removal. Static-resistant, chemically inert, environmentally safe β€” and Mil-Spec approved.

Developed for electronics rework, VanAcrylic is a strong match for the Problast 3 ESD, combining stable ESD control with uniform particle sizing for predictable results.

Compatibility note: VanAcrylic is also suitable for larger-chamber systems such as the Master Problast Titan ESD where increased access is required.

VanAcrylic + Problast 3 ESD = a Matched System

Combine VanAcrylic media with the Problast 3 ESD to maximise control and repeatability. The ESD-safe chamber, precision pressure control, and interchangeable tips complement VanAcrylic’s particle sizingβ€”delivering fast strip rates with low substrate risk and minimal clean-up.

Key Features for Conformal Coating & Parylene Rework

  • Optimised for PCB assemblies – controlled removal without damaging delicate components
  • Parylene removal capability – proven for rework, inspection, or cleaning
  • Adjustable blasting pressure – fine-tune for thin or thick coatings
  • Interchangeable tips – target vias, joints, or board areas
  • ESD-safe models available – Problast 3 ESD includes anti-static chamber
  • Clean operation – optional HEPA collectors keep coatings and abrasives contained

πŸ“š Vaniman Problast Micro Abrasive Blaster – FAQs

1. What is the Vaniman Problast used for?
It’s designed for precision blasting, ideal for removing Parylene and conformal coatings from PCBs and components.
2. Is the Problast safe for sensitive electronics?
Yes. The Problast 3 is available in ESD-safe configurations to help protect sensitive assemblies from static discharge.
3. Can it remove all types of conformal coating?
It is commonly used for selective removal of Parylene, Acrylic, Urethane, Silicone, and Epoxy coatings.
4. How does blasting compare to solvents?
Compared with solvents, blasting is typically cleaner for selective work, more precise, and reduces chemical handling risk.
