WHAT IS DUSTLESS BLASTING?

Dustless Blasting is a revolutionary paint stripping and cleaning system that can remove virtually any coating from any surface, without creating a plume of dust.The Dustless Blaster works by mixing water and abrasive inside the blast tank. By introducing water, we’re drastically increasing mass and energy the machine is putting out, while eliminating dust.

IS IT REALLY DUSTLESS?

Yes it is! Dustless Blasting works by mixing water and abrasive inside the blast tank. During blasting, the water encapsulates the abrasive and coating being removed, preventing them from becoming airborne. The trapped abrasive then falls to the ground, keeping surrounding areas clean and free from mess.Think of it this way - have you ever seen wet sand blowing around on the beach? Unlike traditional sandblasting, which blows dry media around everywhere, Dustless Blasting creates NO plume of dust.

WILL IT WARP METAL?

The Dustless Blaster will NOT cause warping, because friction and heat are reduced by the water. Warping occurs when the metal heats up due to friction from dry abrasive. In fact, the temperature of the metal being blasted usually comes down about 10º from ambient.Think of it this way - if you rub your hands together, they get warm due to friction. But if you rub your hands together underneath running water, they stay cool. The water eliminates the friction. No friction = no heat = no warping!

WILL IT HURT GLASS OR CHROME?

Glass and chrome can be damaged by any kind of abrasive blasting. You should always mask off the chrome and glass prior to blasting.

WHY DOSNT IT FLASH RUST?

By using a specially formulated rust inhibitor, you can prevent flash rust for up to 72 hours. Add the inhibitor to the blast water to prevent flash rust during blasting, and then use it as a rinse after blasting is complete.

IS IT HARMFUL TO THE ENVIROMENT?

Our machines are eco friendly. Dustless Blasting can be used to etch concrete without using acids! Chemical etching is an environmental nightmare. Our innovative and powerful blast media is 100% environmentally inert!

HOW DO I CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS

When blasting over a hard surface like concrete, sweep up the used media and dispose of it. Or, you can lay out 6 mil plastic underneath your project. When you’re done, simply pick it up the sheet and throw it away.

WHAT KIND OF ABRASIVE IS USED?

For wet blasting, you can use any abrasive as long as it is clean, consistent, and sinks in water. The most inexpensive and popular choice of media is recycled bottle glass. We purchase media locally to save on shipping costs. Our mobile machines are also capable of dry blasting, for which we can use any media that a traditional dry blaster can use.
