In the demanding world of mining and earthmoving, maintaining optimal performance of digging tools and equipment parts is paramount. Abrasive blasting is used on mining digging tools and earthmoving equipment parts before coating and painting primarily to ensure optimal adhesion of the protective layers. This process removes contaminants like rust, scale, and old paint, and creates a roughened surface profile that allows coatings to grip effectively. This leads to longer-lasting and more durable finishes, preventing premature failure due to corrosion or wear.
Inside, the chamber runs on rail-guided rollers so long cylindrical sections can be rotated during blasting for full 360-degree coverage, rather than repositioned by hand between passes. Abrasive is reclaimed at the base and recirculated, while airborne dust is pulled through the cyclone and filtered before it leaves the shed.
