We can help your old favorites get a whole new lease on life.
Media Blasting
Media Blast
Steel Shot Blasting metal grates.
Aluminum Handrail
This Handrail is being Media Blasted With Glass Beads. We were able to remove the Powder Coat without damaging the Metal.
Sand Blasting
This is one of our employees media blasting 2 coats of Epoxy paint off a back concrete porch with the Water Dustless Blaster.
Steel Shot
This is great media for Carbon Steel parts.
Crush Glass Blasting
Blasting with the Dustless Blasting System. Great for Aluminum outdoor patio furniture.
Old Hot Rod
This car was Media Blasted with Steal shot to a smooth finish.
aluminum
We use Glass Beads to remove Paint from this part without pitting the Aluminum.
Plastic Chair
With Plastic Beads we are able to remove old paint from this Plastic Chair. The chair was Black, turns out it was Yellow underneath.
Trash Container
Here is a good example of onsite blasting. Look no dust!!!
Barber Chair
This old Barber Chair is being Media Blasted with a Fine Glass Bead to Remove stains without damaging the Ceramic.
MEDIA BLASTING
Media blasting is a great way to strip old rust, oxidation, paint and dirt off any surface in no time at all. Media blasting can prepare your patio furniture, lawn furniture, rims, wheels, automotive parts, motorcycle parts, and almost anything else you can think of that will allow powder coating to adhere better. Media blasting is the latest, greenest technology to safely strip paint and/or clean nearly any surface. The equipment uses compressed air to deliver a cleaning media onto the surface to be cleaned. Similar in concept to sand blasting, media blasting is much kinder and gentler to the underlying surface and the environment.
The aggressiveness of dry grit and bead blasting are shown in the first two illustrations which demonstrate the severe 8O ricochet that occurs when using these methods,
The third illustration shows the gentler, but just as effective, vapor blasting method. The ricochet of media is reduced due to the cushioning from the water: the angle of the media is changed producing a lapping effect traveling across the surface, giving an even satin/ polished finish.
The key to vapor blasting is that the finish is produced through flow of water borne abrasive, giving a finer finish due to the flushing action of the water. No media is impregnated into the component, nor is there any dust created by the break-up of media, unlike dry blasting where the finish is produced by sheer force of media impact.
A specially designed glandless polyurethane pump agitates water and media into a slurry, and pumps it to the blast gun. At the same time this slurry is pumped at approximately 2 bar to the nozzle, and air is introduced at the blast gun to accelerate the slurry and its cleaning effect on impact, albeit cushioned.
Typical Applications
Degreasing / surface finishing of components in the automotive, reconditioning & maintenance industries
Cleaning of dies & molds Removal of paint, rust, scale, carbon & similar deposits in engineering industries
Surface preparation prior to bonding, re-painting or re-coating
Satin finishing of stainless steels & other special materials
Cleaning of PCB's & electrical connectors
Removal of small burrs from manufactured components
Advantages of Vapor Blasting
Dust free process
Cleans by flow of water not by impact
Simultaneously degrease IS blast clean
Water acts as a lubricant between media & component Promotes longer media life Produces a 'softer' finish Avoids media impregnation on soft materials.
