Sandblasting

Sandblasting or bead blasting is a generic term for the process of smoothing, shaping and cleaning a hard surface by forcing solid particles across that surface at high speeds; the effect is similar to that of using sandpaper, but provides a more even finish with no problems at corners or crannies.

Within the range of abrasive blasting work we can offer the following services to you:

  • Surface cleaning of colour and rust
  • Glass or plexiglass unpolish
  • Chromium-plated steel glass bead blasting
  • Different blast grains and grain size
  • Surfaces from rough to fine

Equipment

Most parts can be treated. Here are just a few examples.

Rework

We offer further service for all sand blasted parts:

  • Corrosion protection
  • Coating e.g. with electric-arc spraying process

With our specialized knowledge we are happy to find for you the best solution of abrasive blasting problems. Please ask for a sample. We offer short time delivery.

Kinds of blast grain

Chill casting
Blast grain from cast irons for roughening up, descaling, derusting and clearing away surfaces.

Cast steel
Sharp-edged blast grain from recompensed high coal steel with long service life and high breaking strength. Steelgrit is used for cleaning with excellent surface finish, for pretreatment before enamelling, painting and coating. Due to the hardness impurities themselves they are removed under difficult conditions. Spherical blast grain from recompensed high coal steel with long service life and high breaking strength. Steelshot is used for cleaning and shot-peening.

Corundum
Sharp edged, abrasives alumina with continuous cleaning and erosion effect. Been suitable to remove hard layers and for surface activation before coating metallic and non-metallic materials.

Glass beads
Glass beads consist from a mineral and of a synthetic portion. They are particularly suitable for obtaining silk matte effects on high-grade steel sheet metals.

Ceramic(s) beads
Ceramic(s) beads consist of a mineral and of a synthetic portion. Opposite glass beads they exhibit a substantially higher service life and the surface are less size sensitive.

Plastic granulates
Plastic is a synthetic blast grain, suitable particularly for plastic and soft parts as well as sensitive forms.
