What is Blast Cleaning?

Blast cleaning, also known as grit blasting, is a powerful method used to remove rust, old paint, corrosion, and other contaminants from metal surfaces. It thoroughly prepares items for repainting, coating, or restoring, ensuring surfaces are clean and evenly finished.

How Blast Cleaning Works

Blast cleaning uses specialised equipment comprising an air compressor, blast pot, blast nozzle, and abrasive material. The abrasive particles are accelerated through the nozzle, striking the surface at high velocity. This abrasive action effectively strips away unwanted coatings and corrosion, leaving a clean, uniform finish ready for the next stage of restoration or protection.

Common Applications

Blast cleaning is widely used in various industries, including automotive restoration, machinery maintenance, and household refurbishment. Typical applications include:

  • Removing rust and paint from car and motorcycle components.

  • Preparing machinery parts like lorry axles and cement mixers for maintenance and repainting.

  • Restoring household items, including metal garden furniture and fireplaces.
