Sandblasting, the All-Purpose Clean
If there’s one foolproof method of getting a surface truly clean, it’s sandblasting. Whether you’re after your garden furniture looking good as new, or metal sandblasting to get your old machinery clean as a new pin, sandblasting is an unbeatable solution.
You know the dangers of rust, scales and grime. As these build up over time, they reduce the efficiency of your machinery, shorten its lifespan, and could even make your equipment or structures unsafe.
Whatever you’re dealing with – rusty rims on your tractor wheels, or peeling paint, Mr Powdercoat’s professional sandblasting services will help you get that surface cleaner than clean.
Sandblasting Pros from the Pros at Mr Powdercoat
Sandblasting involves directing a stream of small, abrasive particles in a high-speed jet that strips the target surface clean of its coat of dirt, sludge, rust, paint or other contaminants.
To achieve the best results, we at Mr Powdercoat use an optimal combination of blasting media (fine sand, coal slag, powdered nutshells from walnuts, coconuts, etc.), pressure calibration (measured in cubic feet per minute, or cfm) and technique (distance and angle of blasting).
There are six solid reasons to opt for sandblasting over other cleaning techniques:
It’s Lean: Unlike other manual cleaning and solvent-based techniques, sandblasting has a quick turnaround. For small parts or surfaces, it can be completed in a few minutes, while larger areas may be tackled in a matter of hours, including prepping time and post-process clean-up!
It’s Clean: Sandblasting is a highly effective method for removing the most stubborn grime and the most resistant of rust and scales.
It’s Versatile: Sandblasting can be used on a wide array of surfaces, from huge tanks and solid girders to small, precision machine parts like gears.
It’s Adaptable: Do you mean to have the cleaned surface painted or powdercoated later? Or do you simply want the sandblasting itself to give the surface a clean, polished look? Whatever your intention, sandblasting can be customized to achieve the desired finish.
It’s Cost-Effective: Thanks to the lean, clean, green and versatile nature of sandblasting, it’s the most economical option for most surface cleaning projects.
Get it Done Right at Mr Powdercoat
When you bring your sandblasting project to Mr Powdercoat, we ensure that you get the value you deserve, by giving your project the customized treatment it needs. For example, if it’s a metal surface that needs further painting or powdercoating, we’ll use higher pressure and abrasive materials to yield a matte finish on which the coating will adhere better.
We understand that our customers have different needs, and, rather than using a ‘one size fits all’ approach, we consult your specific requirements before implementing the sandblasting, delivering results that outstrip your expectations! (Alright, we’ll admit, that pun was intended.)
