Abrasive Blasting

Sand, water, and wind inspired abrasive blasting; Enhanced by VertiDrive

HomeApplicationsAbrasive Blasting

From nature
to automation

Abrasive blasting originated from the natural effects of sand and water propelled by wind and gravity, which gradually shaped surfaces over time. Inspired by these natural processes, early innovators developed blasting equipment to replicate and control this effect for industrial use. Over the decades, industries have refined abrasive blasting into one of the most effective surface preparation techniques, widely used for removing rust, paint, and contaminants while ensuring optimal adhesion for coatings and treatments.

What is abrasive blasting?

The basic operational process of abrasive blasting equipment is fairly similar throughout the variety of different types available for use. Firstly the operator must select a blasting abrasive to best suit the task at hand; as can be seen on the graph below the type of abrasive selected depends upon the desired surface finish, the characteristics of the abrasive itself and the material to be worked upon.

When the abrasive material is selected we then place it into the blasting pot. This pot is a component of the blasting equipment that has been designed to withstand pressure and securely house the abrasive material until it is ready for use.
