Advanced Sandblasting Techniques Manchester

Deploying our sandblasting and shotblasting services to the North West and Manchester areas requires a hefty knowledge about the top sandblasting machine tools. Let's start off this blog with a few reviews of equipment that will help an experienced industrial cleaning team perform these advanced sandblasting techniques.

The Campbell Hausfield 120lb capacity sandblaster is a low cost product with additional mobility provided by the sturdy wheels. It weighs 13lb empty and is a little over 26 inches high. The gun features a ceramic nozzle and is geared up for 200 hours of blasting.

Many sandblasting nozzles are crafted from boron carbide due to its resistance to hard wear and abrasion. It is a ceramic material used in a variety of other applications and is testament to its quality.

Safety being the major factor in sandblasting techniques, there are a range of methods to ensure the engineer is safe to perform the task of sandblasting or shotblasting. In fact, safety in any type of industrial cleaning Manchester is paramount. The most basic of protections will include:

Pressure helmet: the helmet will include a system to provide synchronous movement between the device and the engineer's head, a viewing window and air feed hose.
Air supply - Through a pressurized air supply the worker is protected from hazardous gas and dust and warned of potential buildups of harmful buildups of Carbon Monoxide
Ear protection
Body protection: Usually comprising gloves, overalls or a leather coat and chaps
