Dedicated Industrial Sandblasting vs. Mobile Sandblasting
Sandblasting removes rust, paint, and surface contaminants from metal, wood, and concrete. Although some may consider mobile blasting, many projects benefit more from a dedicated industrial sandblasting facility. This article compares the two methods while highlighting how a dedicated approach can provide better quality control, efficient operations, and fewer environmental concerns. AA Sandblasting, founded in 1977 in Fyshwick, specialises in industrial sandblasting, offering enclosed facilities and an experienced team for consistent, high-quality results.
Case Study: Transforming Industrial Cranes with Garnet Blasting
Industrial cranes are vital for heavy lifting and material handling in construction sites, ports, and manufacturing facilities. Over time, these large metal structures accumulate rust, peeling paint, and surface contaminants. Such deterioration not only affects the crane’s appearance but also poses potential risks to its structural integrity. This case study focuses on how AA Sandblasting, used garnet blasting to restore and protect a series of industrial cranes. Our goal is to highlight why garnet was selected, the steps involved, and the outcome for the client.
Choosing the Right Abrasive
When you need to clean or prepare a surface, choosing the right abrasive is an important decision. Different media can produce varied results. Some may remove thick rust quickly, while others deliver a smooth finish without causing damage. Bead, garnet, and soda blasting are three popular options, each with unique properties and best-use scenarios. This article outlines how these abrasives differ and how you can pick the right one for your project.
