Abrasive Blasting and Painting Services

Our 10,000 sq ft abrasive blasting and industrial painting facility is designed for heavy-duty surface preparation and equipment refinishing.

Built in partnership with International Surface Technologies (IST), our facility houses a state-of-the-art abrasive blast booth and two paint booths, each measuring 20’ x 45’ x 16’. These systems deliver exceptional cleaning and coating performance for mining buckets, heavy equipment, and large steel components.

Our Abrasive Blast Booth

We designed our facility in accordance with the latest Environmental standards that measure limits for noise, dust, vibration, effluents, and overall carbon footprint. To this end, the abrasive blast room incorporates a recovery system that repatriates ~95% of the blast media. We utilize a steel shot media that is collected through the recovery system with screw conveyor and magnets, cleaned, and reused multiple times. This offers significantly reduced waste compared to traditional sandblasting environment with single-use media that must be disposed of. Additionally, the time to prepare a surface versus sandblasting is improved by 200%. For example, a large loader bucket that takes 3 hours to sandblast, takes 1 hour to complete with the new abrasive media. Other types of abrasive blast media include aluminum oxide, coal slag, glass beads, nutshells, and garnet.

 

Abrasive Blasting is a process that requires precision and reproducibility. Therefore, the equipment designed to accomplish such a task must be properly maintained and calibrated. The blasting process is handled manually with versatile equipment that can be used for various applications. Therefore, some basic process parameters must be set carefully to achieve desirable results. With the design guidance of IST, we incorporated six prominent factors in the process parameters: abrasive media, blast nozzle, media velocity, quality of air from the compressor, operator technique, and equipment maintenance.
