What is Sandblasting?

Sandblasting, or blast cleaning, shoots high-velocity abrasive particles from a jetstream of compressed air to remove mill-scale and rust from steel surfaces, protecting them from damage and keeping them looking pristine. This is the most comprehensive method of blast-cleaning to prepare machinery for painting. 

Benefits of Sandblasting Before Painting

There are many reasons to do painting and sandblasting, whether for large structures or for your agricultural machinery. Sandblasting removes contaminants like rust from steel surfaces to prepare them for painting. Without this, there could be problems with paint adhesion and possibly ruin the integrity of the surface. Sandblasting is a safe and cost-effective method of surface preparation. It is more efficient than handwashing and power tools, and some of the abrasive material that is removed can be recycled. If you get the job done by professionals with the right training and equipment, the process is simple, safe and quick.
