About Abrasive Blast Machines and Sandblasters

Abrasive blast machines and sandblasters clean and prepare surfaces by directing a stream of abrasive particles against a part or a surface.  Blast wheels, pressurized water or compressed air drive the abrasive or blasting media.  Blasting is used for finishing, surface texturing, roughening, frosting / etching, degreasing, deburring, deflashing, descaling, stripping coatings, and surface preparation of products made of metal, wood, plastic, glass or other materials.  Specialized micro-blast or micro-jet machines are available for applications requiring selective surface preparation, material removal and finishing.  Blasting provides a surface suitable for subsequent coating operations such as thermal spraying, painting or plating.


Products & Services Related to Abrasive Blast Machines and Sandblasters

Abrasive Jet Cutting Machines
Abrasive jet cutting machines are used to cut sheet materials or remove materials from a surface by generating a focused stream of fluid mixed with abrasive particles.
Air Blow Guns
Air blow guns attach to air lines for the manual actuation and/or control of air discharge. They are used primarily for debris removal and purging, non-contact part cleaning and drying, and general laboratory or industrial applications.
Cleaning Agents and Surface Treatments
Cleaning agents and surface treatments includes liquid cleaners, degreasers, strippers, passivators, etchants, solutions and additives for cleaning and surface preparation.
Industrial Parts Washers and Cleaning Systems
Industrial parts washers remove grease, soil, oil, abrasive dust, blast debris, swarf, paint, corrosion or other contaminants from the surfaces of components exiting a production line.
Mass Finishing Equipment and Tumblers
Mass finishing equipment uses loose abrasives or tumbling media combined with cleaning or polishing compounds to bulk-finish parts.
Pressure Washers
Pressure washers direct a high-pressure stream or jet of water against a surface to clean, descale, degrease or prepare a surface.
Spray Washers
Spray washers clean parts with a directed, pressurized spray of hot water, detergent or cleaning solution.
Surface and Floor Cleaning Machines
Surface cleaning machines and floor cleaning machines includes sweepers, extractors, scrubbers, scarifiers, steam cleaners, burnishers, and other surface cleaners for floors, carpets, walkways, roads and other surfaces in commercial, industrial or public areas.
Surface Finishing Products and Equipment
Surface finishing products and surface finishing equipment are used to refine or roughen a surface to meet surface finish requirements, or to clean, strengthen or prepare the surface for additional processing.
Water Jetting Equipment and Water Blasters
Water jetting equipment and water blasters direct high pressure (10,000+ psi) streams of water against a surface to clean or cut the material.
