Apparatus for treating a workpiece has first and second regions at least partially enclosed by a casing and in communication via a passage, and support means for a carrier holding the workpiece in the first region for treatment. Pressure difference between the regions forces the workpiece toward the carrier and guides a flow of media from the first to the second region through the passage, at least partly, to create said pressure difference. Method for treating at least one workpiece holds the workpiece by forcing it toward the carrier with a created pressure difference between two regions. Holding also guides a flow of media from the first region to the second region through the passage in order to, at least partly, create said pressure difference. The treatment may comprise blasting, rinsing or drying. The workpiece may comprise cutting inserts, electronic components, small sized machined or formed components or parts. |
