Industries We Serve

Manufacturing Industries - Sandblasting

SandBlasting is used in many manufacturing industries in a variety of way. For example, cement and cast form manufacturers may remove cement from pre-cast forms leaving the exposed aggregate; machine shops may deburr and finish all machined parts; gas and electric plants may clean turbine blades, pipes, valves, meters, etc.

Automotive Industry - Sandblasting

Sandblasting is a quick, effective, and economical way to strip a painted metal surface. Sandblasting is good for removing rust and paint from heavy metal parts such as castings and housings. It works very well on bumper brackets or a totally stripped chassis. Sandblasted metal also provides an excellent surface for adherence of primers and fillers.

Sandblast Tip

One of the benefits of using a sandblaster in graffiti removal is that the results are more attractive than repeated paint overs. This can be an important consideration if the building in question is for commercial or public use.

Sandblasting Fact

Sandblasting can occur naturally, usually as a result of particles blown by wind causing aeolian erosion, or artificially, using compressed air. An artificial sandblasting process was patented by Benjamin Chew Tilghman on October 18, 1870.
