Vacuum blasting machines are the solution for blasting different objects without disturbing the surroundings. It is a dust free process with no flying abrasive. Blasting can now also be done without disturbing other processes. The machines are mobile and can be easily moved for indoor and outdoor use and use in confined spaces.

The brush ring of the special blast and suction head is placed on the object. The abrasiveis sprayed on the object and then together with the dust immediately extracted. The abrasive is then separated and falls into the silo above the blast pot. This way the abrasive can be used over and over again.

The dust separated from the air flow by the special filter. The filter cartridges are cleaned automatically by compressed air. The dust is discharged automatically in a plastic bag and can thus be easily discharged.

Various models are available with different sizes blast machines and electric or compressed air powered vacuum units. Through a wide range of brush rings, many surfaces can be blasted dust free.

Dust suppressed blasting is achieved usually with water added either into the blast pot, or at the nozzle to prevent or reduce dry airborne dust. All our Microstrip & Blast-mate systems are available as standard with water inducted nozzles for dust suppression however water vapour, abrasive and removed contaminants will still be present in the air although with much reduced travel.

Complete dust free blasting means the elimination of any dust, or airborne contamination and this can only be achieved with a vacuum system where the abrasive and debris is contained within a blast head then removed by an electric or air powered vacuum.
