Sand Blasting

What is Sand Blasting?

Regardless of the abrasive media, the term “sandblasting” refers to the process of propelling that abrasive media with compressed air. This cleaning and preparation procedure takes compressed air as a power source and directs a high-pressure stream of abrasive media toward the given surface. That surface could be auto parts being cleaned of dirt, grease and oil. It could be rusty chains in a shipyard being reconditioned. Or the surface could be old filing cabinets being prepped for powder coating.

Sandblasting is a proven pre-finishing technique that’s been around for over a hundred years. Sandblasting equipment has evolved from uncontained, free-spraying streams of sand creating noxious dust clouds to highly sophisticated contained enclosures with precise abrasive stream control. Sandblasting’s media also changed from sand to more user-friendly materials.
Despite the change in equipment and materials, sandblasting is still the most common and preferred abrasive treatment method. It’s particularly suited to soft and sensitive materials being readied for final finishes.Sandblasting is also a more economical equipment system to purchase, easier to operate and offers excellent quality to you the customer.

Low Pressure Abrasive Cleaning

Low pressure fine abrasive cleaning (sandblasting) has been proven time and again as the ultimate solution for renovating brickwork and other exterior features; fired at a surface under pressure, the sand blasts away just a thin layer of brick or timber, removing decades or even centuries of dirt accumulation and moss and leaving near pristine fresh brickwork.
