ALUMINIUM OXIDE

Blastline offers a variety of Blast Room designs and room configurations which allow us to design a blast room facility uniquely tailored to meet the economic production, safety, and environmental concerns of each customer. This brochure will provide an overview of the blast rooms, abrasive recovery, recycling, and ventilation solutions offered by Blastline.

Blast room system is used in a wide range of industries that require surface preparation prior to the application of a protective coating. The surface of the workpiece is cleaned by a mixture of abrasive and high-pressure compressed air being directed at the workpiece by a blast nozzle. The blast room also provides lighting & ventilation for the operator’s safety.

Compared to open-air blasting, the controlled environment of a blast room has many advantages that justify the investment. Confining abrasive blast operations to a controlled, clean environment enables efficient abrasive recycling which has huge cost savings over using single-use abrasive.

Our design engineers can come up with a bespoke solution so that the resulting manual blast room caters to your every production needs, working with you throughout the design process, including helping you to choose what accessories you want to fit the system with. We provide a suitable, customized service, helping you sort through all the options to capitalize on any existing facilities and decide on specifications in terms of the professional sandblasting system’s dimensions and features

ALUMINIUM OXIDE

NON-METALLIC ABRASIVES

 

Aluminium Oxide is an angular, durable and long-lasting blasting abrasive which can be recycled many times, it is the most widely used abrasive grain in sandblasting finishing and surface because of its cost, longevity and hardness. Hardness than other commonly used blasting materials, aluminium oxide penetrates and cuts even the hardest metals and sintered carbide.

 

Approximately 50% lighter than metallic media, aluminium oxide abrasive has twice as many particles per pound. The fast-cutting minimizes damage to thin materials by eliminating surface stress caused by heavier, slower cutting media.

 

Brown Fused Aluminium Oxide have a low friability, so it will break down slowly and coarser sizes can be recycled and reclaimed.

 

White Fused Aluminium Oxide have a high friability but has the same hardness rating (in general) as Brown Aluminium Oxide. It will thus shatter on impact and break down quickly, without doing as much damage/impact to the substrate.
