Blasting, even that is sand blasting, shot blasting or grit blasting, anyone, is the process where small angular or spherical abrasive media particles are propelled at a part by compressed air, or mechanical high speed rotating wheels or water pumps.

In modern Automobile industry, the surface finish and texture of the body parts as well as some engine parts has become the top-most concern for each manufacturer. Most of the manufacturers have faith only on the shot peening. They are using two main media for shot peening - one is the steel shots and the other one is glass beads.

cut wire shot are manufactured from high quality wire, each particle is cut to a length about equal to its diameter. If required, the particles are conditioned (rounded) to remove the sharp corners produced during the cutting process. Strict Quality Control procedures are required to be able to manufacture cut wire shot meeting all common industry specifications as well as many individual customer specifications.

Aluminum Oxide is widely used as a tough recoverable media for quick removal of paint, rust, and scale removal. It has also been specified for pre-paint adhesion. Aluminum Oxide (AL2O3) is a man made fused alumina that is very tough; angular blocky shaped, medium density, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale.

Blasting is the acceleration of particles by air or mechanical means to a surface or workpiece to achieve a variety of physical effects. Surface effects are determined by media type, size, speed, and direction of impact. The visual appearance of a blasted surface tends to be dull to a bright satin-matte finish.

Because of its high mass, steel shot and grit are less suitable for sandblasting with injector type blasting machines. When using steel abrasive media, we recommend the use of high quality suction hoses, resistant to wear, and the hose diameter must be one size smaller in comparison to standard size.

Recoverable blasting medias are used in industrial blasting. Indoor blasting systems require medias with extended life. Blast media, type, shape, size and hardness affect the process and materials theyʼre capable of blasting. Spherical medias are used for peening and produce smoother surface finishes. Angular medias chip at a parts surface; removing paint, rust and scale quicker, with better results than round medias.

Wheel blast system utilizes a high speed rotation wheel using centrifugal force to propel the media. The wheel size design and rotation speed affect the velocity and pattern of the media. The abrasive is fed into the rotating wheel. The impact on the media by the hard rotating wheel usually restricts media selection to a very tough steel shot or stainless steel shot or abrasive grit.

Shot Blasting machines are used to clean, induce strength also called shot peening / polishing the metal surfaces. The method of blasting has become an important aspect of the metal building & the steel structure industry.

In thermal spray gun manufacturer, it is used for coating purposes in this technology thickness of 22 microns to several mm thick coating is sprinkle and it depends on feedstock.

The Grit Blasting Machine are used to harness the abrasive qualities of the material to clean components. There are different sizes and styles are available to make abrasive blasting. This is the best solution for companies in repairing industries.

Sand blasting machine is used for the blasting operations so, that any dust or contaminants from the metal surface can be removed easily. It is used in many industries for surface preparation.
