Blasting performance

Blasting performance is of crucial importance for numerous applications in surface technology, from the removal of contaminants and coatings to the preparation of surfaces for subsequent processes such as coating, painting or bonding. Optimum blasting performance not only ensures efficient material removal, but also uniform and thorough cleaning of the surface.

When setting the blasting power, various variables must be taken into account in order to achieve the desired result. The abrasive type and its size determine the abrasiveness of the blast and directly influence material removal and surface cleaning. Blast pressure controls the intensity of the blast and its ability to remove material from the surface. An appropriate blast pressure setting is critical to prevent damage to delicate surfaces while ensuring effective cleaning.

The shape and size of the nozzle influence the direction and focus of the jet. A well-designed nozzle can optimize blasting performance by directing the blast precisely onto the surface to be processed and enabling uniform removal or cleaning. The angle and speed of the blast are also important parameters that influence the efficiency and quality of the blasting process. An appropriate blast angle and blast speed can help maximize blast performance and increase productivity.

Overall, blasting power plays a crucial role in surface treatment and is an important factor in achieving high quality results. Careful monitoring and adjustment of blasting parameters is required to ensure efficient and successful surface treatment.
