Dry abrasive blasting, generally referred to as sandblasting, is a process by which ageing paint can be removed to condition the under coated material (referred to as the substrate) ready for the application of new paint. This is achieved by propelling an abrasive material at high pressure on to the painted surface.

Blastrac closed circuit media shot blasting machines throw a large amount of steel abrasive media by centrifugal force at the surface. After the steel abrasive hits the surface, the shot blaster recycles the media. Dust and contaminants are removed by an air wash separator and are removed to a dedicated Blastrac dust collector. This makes the process almost dust-free in operation.

Shot blasting with steel shot is the most environmentally friendly abrasive blasting method there is, because there is no use of chemical products and no waste of valuable drinking water. The video below shows the shot blasting process perfectly.

The world’s only hand power tools that can “sandblast”. The patented technology removes corrosion and coatings quickly and thoroughly. Bristle blaster is a great alternative to sandblasting. At the same time, the Bristle Blaster® and MBX® create surface preparation grades comparable with Sa2½ (SSPC-SP 10/NACE No. 2) to Sa3 (SSPC-SP 5/NACE No. 1) and roughness levels of up to 120 µm Rz.
