Media Blasting

Media blasting is a surface treatment method commonly used in various industries for a range of purposes. This process involves propelling abrasive media through a blasting nozzle using compressed air. The type of abrasive used depends on the specific surface treatment required.

Historically, the process was often referred to as “sand blasting.” However, today it’s a sophisticated technique used not only to remove rust but also to prepare surfaces for high-quality coatings or to achieve the desired lustre and texture for retail products. We offer a comprehensive in-house blasting service. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your needs, please contact us.

Types of Blast Media

Choosing the right media is a critical factor in abrasive blasting processes. Each media type has unique hardness, shape, and density, and is available in various particle sizes. For testing purposes, it’s often necessary to select the final media type and size.

Blasting equipment varies across industries; there are manual cabinets, automated high-production machines, and fully robotic systems with closed-loop process controls. The choice of equipment depends on the surface treatment required and the intended use of the component.
