Compressed air blasting

Compressed air blasting is a process used in various industrial applications for surface preparation and cleaning. In this process, compressed air is used to blow abrasive material, such as sand or steel grit, onto a surface at high speed. This abrasive stream effectively removes contaminants, rust, old coatings or other deposits from the surface.

The key to the success of compressed air blasting lies in the selection of the appropriate abrasive and the optimum compressed air pressure. The versatility of this process makes it possible to process a variety of surface materials, from metal to concrete and wood. It is used in sectors such as shipbuilding, the construction industry, the automotive industry and in the maintenance of industrial plants.

Compressed air blasting offers several benefits, including removing contaminants quickly and thoroughly, improving adhesion for subsequent coatings and restoring surface texture. However, it is important to follow safety guidelines as the process can be dusty and respiratory protection and other protective measures are required to ensure the health of workers.
