Vacuum blasting equipment is a specialized tool used in surface preparation processes, combining the traditional abrasive blasting technique with a built-in vacuum extraction system. This method is designed to clean and prepare surfaces for further treatment. It is eco-friendly, safe and economical, because abrasives can be reused and there is no dust or abrasives flying around.
Vacuum blasting combines two key components: abrasive blasting and vacuum extraction. In a typical abrasive blasting process, abrasive particles are propelled at high speed towards a surface to remove contaminants such as rust, old paint, and dirt. However, the vacuum blasting system takes this a step further by simultaneously vacuuming up the debris and dust created during the blasting process. The extracted materials are collected and either filtered for reuse or disposed of, ensuring a clean, dust-free environment.
The vacuum extraction is integrated directly into the blasting head, making the process efficient and minimizing the need for secondary cleaning or environmental remediation. This system not only enhances workplace safety but also promotes cost savings by allowing the recycling of abrasives, which reduces the amount of material needed for each job and also saves in disposal costs of the spend abrasive.
