BLASTING

Processes using steel shot or grit:

  • Cleaning – desanding / deburring (Foundry), descaling (Forging and Heat Treatments);
  • Descaling – steel sheets, wire-rod, steel bars;
    Surface preparation – metallic structures / constructions before painting and coatings in general;
  • Increase of mechanical resistance – Shot and Stress Peening.

Why to use Steel Shot

  • The steel abrasive (shot and grit) promote major improvements in the surface treatment processes:
  • Excellent cost-benefit ratio – Blasting combines efficiency with cost control. Following the specifications and established parameters, the results are obtained since the first use, reducing waste and time losses.
  • Total control of the process – Once the process parameters are established, such as speed, throwing direction, blasting time, etc., repeatability is guaranteed.
  • Easy – Uncomplicated way of working with quick startup, as soon as the equipment is started.
  • Environment Protection – Steel shot has a longer useful life than other types of abrasives, and only after its total use is it discarded, without danger of contamination for the environment.
