Cast Steel Grit
Steel Grit provides an economic alternative to mineral grit abrasives with superior blasting performance. The high durability of steel grit reduces abrasive consumption and waste generation, ensuring cost-effectiveness. Its consistency results in constant roughness values and quality adhesion for coatings. The dust-free feature improves visibility during blasting and enhances blast process control. This versatile abrasive is ideal for removing thick coatings, heavy rust, and mill scale, offering a uniform surface profile with its angular shape. Successful applications include blast rooms, blast cabinets, and centrifugal wheel blast machines.
– Railcar Manufacturing/Maintenance
– Ship Maintenance
– Blast Rooms
– Wind Tower
Main fields of application:
– Blast cleaning, deburring, surface preparation prior to coating, stone cutting in gang saws
– Machinery and welded structures APPLICATIONS
– Surface finishing
– Preparing / etching a surface for coating
– Removing rust or paint from surfaces (bridges, railcars, etc.)
– For air blasting in abrasive blast rooms
– For use in mobile abrasive recycling systems
– Centrifugal wheel blast
Advantages:
– Great durability
– Short blasting times
– Can be used in centrifugal wheel machines as well as air blast systems
– Low waste disposal costs
– Low Dust blasting process
– Faster Cleaning
– Due to its exceptional durability, steel grit delivers more power to the surface being cleaned, significantly shortening cleaning times and generating the least waste.
– Longer Lasting
– Significantly more durable than other non-metallic abrasives, offering a highly cost-effective solution for efficient blasting
– Environmentally Friendly
– Contaminant-free and non-hazardous
– Cleaner, Safer to Use
– During use, it is nearly dust-free for a cleaner blasting environment.
