Choosing the right blasting installation depends on a few key factors. For background, see what is sandblasting.
1. Volume: manual or automatic?
For small series, varied parts or interior zones, choose manual compressed-air blasting. For large series, choose automatic turbine blasting — up to 10x more productive.
2. Part size and geometry
Small and medium parts — drum installations. Suspended parts — hook installations. Sheet, profiles and structures — roller tunnel. Wire and pipes — dedicated continuous-flow installations.
3. Material and sensitivity
Sensitive parts (e.g. aluminium) require mesh-belt installations and suitable abrasives.
4. The abrasive
The abrasive type directly affects the result — see the blasting abrasives guide.
Conclusion
Volume, part size, material and abrasive determine the ideal equipment. VIBROBLAST specialists help you choose.
