Fundamentally, blast cleaning—also known as shot blasting or grit blasting—is a highly efficient process for cleaning and preparing metal surfaces. During this process, workers force abrasive media like steel shot or grit through a jet nozzle using compressed air or a centrifugal wheel machine. Consequently, this method provides a fast and effective way to clean surfaces or prepare them for subsequent coating.
Furthermore, operators use other abrasive materials like glass beads, aluminum oxide, or garnet to clean or texturize non-ferrous metals and decorative items. Most importantly, blast cleaning is significantly more efficient and economical than conventional surface preparation methods like manual scraping or acid cleaning.
It cleans the surface from rust, scale, paint, dirt, grease, rust etc and exposes parent material.
It imparts uniform surface roughness or anchor profile that leads to increased surface area for better bonding strength with paint or any other coat
It also improves aesthetics of the components by imparting matt finish. Eliminates surface irregularities like welding spatters, scratches, grinding or filing marks
It improves quality of electroplating, painting, powder coating, or rubber lining.
Imparts skid proof property to marble and granite flooring.
The applications for this versatile process are extensive. Blasting can effectively clean a wide variety of materials, including hardwood, metal, brickwork, concrete, and stone. In industrial settings, manufacturers routinely use shot blasting on castings, forgings, and fabricated parts.
It is critical to note that even the most expensive coating will fail without proper surface preparation. Therefore, blast cleaning is a mandatory step prior to applying paints, powder coatings, rubber linings, electroplating, or metalizing.
For specific finishes, glass beading expertly removes welding stains and grinding marks on stainless steel by imparting a uniform, matte-white finish. Industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, and textiles rely on this for their machinery and SS pipes/fittings.
Additionally, abrasive blasting serves a wide range of other purposes, such as preparing non-ferrous metal surfaces for re-coating, engraving decorative stone, and polishing soft metals and plastics.
