Airless Blasting Systems
What is Airless Blasting?
Airless blasting systems use a motor-driven wheel or centrifugal force to propel abrasive media at a surface, rather than compressed air. They’re used for fast, consistent cleaning, rust and paint removal, surface preparation, and shot-peening in industrial applications.
Standard Features:
Built for High-Efficiency, High-Volume Surface Preparation
- Consistent abrasive flow without compressed air
- Reduced media consumption and operating costs
- Ideal for large-scale steel and industrial applications
- High production rates with uniform surface profiles
- Designed for durability in demanding environments
Soda Blasting Systems
What is Soda Blasting?
Soda blasting systems use compressed air to propel sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as a gentle abrasive for cleaning and surface preparation. They’re commonly used to remove paint, rust, and contaminants without damaging the underlying surface.
Standard Features:
Controlled Cleaning Without Surface Damage
- Non-destructive cleaning for delicate substrates
- Removes coatings, grease, and contaminants effectively
- Ideal for restoration and sensitive applications
- Reduced cleanup and secondary damage
Dry Ice Blasting Systems
What is Dye Ice Blasting?
Dry-ice blasting is a form of carbon dioxide cleaning in which dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide, is accelerated in a pressurized air stream and directed at a surface to clean it. The method is similar to other forms of media blasting, such as sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting, in that it cleans surfaces using a medium accelerated by a pressurized air stream.
Standard Features:
Non-Abrasive Cleaning for Sensitive Equipment
- No secondary waste or residue
- Safe for electrical and mechanical components
- Reduces downtime with in-place cleaning
- Effective for grease, oil, and buildup removal
- Environmentally responsible cleaning method
Laser Surface Cleaning Systems
Laser Ablation or Photoablation
Also called laser blasting, this process removes material from a solid (or occasionally liquid) surface by irradiating it with a laser beam.
Standard Features:
Precision Cleaning with No Media Required
- Removes coatings, rust, and contaminants without abrasion
- No consumables or media handling required
- Highly controlled and repeatable cleaning process
- Ideal for precision and specialized applications
- Minimal environmental impact
Sponge Blasting Systems
Standard Features:
Low-Dust Surface Preparation for Controlled Environments
- Reduces airborne dust and contamination
- Recyclable media improves efficiency
- Ideal for confined or sensitive work areas
- Maintains visibility during blasting operations
- Effective for coating removal and surface prep
Wet Blasting Systems
Standard Features:
Dust-Controlled Blasting for Safer Operations
- Suppresses dust during blasting
- Improves visibility and operator safety
- Suitable for industrial and marine environments
- Reduces cleanup and containment requirements
- Consistent surface preparation results
