Shot blasting is an excellent way to erode metallic surfaces. It pulverises and removes the top layers of dirt, rust, paint, and grime from the surface and makes it ready for further work. Many types of shots can be used for abrading the surface of a metal, including sand, small steel balls of various diameters, granules of silicon carbide, etc.
Cylinders can be quickly and efficiently cleaned by using the shot blasting technique. The exterior surface of a cylinder is typically cleaned using an airless blaster that makes use of wheels with blades.
At WSB Blasting Ltd in Willenhall, we can manually blast items in our blast room. We can blast smaller items in our tumble blast machines and blast longer and narrower items using our section cleaning machine.
