SAFETY
Keeping your workers safe and your business OSHA compliant.
Owning a dustless blasting machine makes it easy to conform with OSHA standards because OSHA recommends the wet abrasive blasting method over traditional sandblasting. The main reason OSHA approves the dustless sandblasting process is because water encapsulates the abrasive and the coating that is being removed ultimately preventing either of them from becoming an air borne hazard that could be inhaled. Moreover, using an eco-friendly and harmless abrasive such as 40/70 recycled crushed glass, which contains no crystalline silica like that of traditional blasting sand. This as well as significant dust reduction and increased visibility help protect your employees and reduce accidents.

QUALITY
Withstanding the test of time and constant use in the field, forges reliability.
All of the Dustless Blasting equipment is manufactured in Houston, Texas that means our units are American made and have iron clade build quality that is held to the highest of industry standards. Our pressure vessels are rigorously tested and backed by multiple certifications. Watch how our sandblasting pots are made start to finish. Building a blast pot to those standards enables us to have full lifetime warranties on all of our blast pots.

See why dustless blasting stands head and shoulders above the rest.
The build quality isn't the only thing that makes our dustless sand blasters ultra reliable. Our blast pots use a Venturi suction abrasive delivery design, as opposed to an outdated gravity-fed system that is prone to clogging and has a limited range of usable blast media. Our design actually pulls the media and water from the bottom of the pot and then is pushed out the top. Gravity fed systems are prone to failure due to having multiple valves and wear parts, and needing intricate, proprietary parts that have to be shipped from the manufacturer directly. Our dustless sandblasting system is simple. There are virtually no moving parts that could fail, and you can change all of the valves on the fly. You will never need to hire a field tech for maintenance because we have all the how-to videos and instructional support available to you at the click of a button.
Containment and cleanup

Thus, letting you leave the site as clean as you found it. This is extremely important if you live in one of the prettiest places in the world. Mike Ritz from Alaska Marine Coatings spoke with us on Episode #3 of Pointer with the Pros to recount his experience about working in one of the most regulated bays in America. Our process complies to EPA and DEQ regulations due to the fact there is virtually no dust plume or toxic chemicals in use. In addition, the dustless sandblasting process can be used in areas with strict environmental rules and regulations because there is very little runoff thus making it simple to contain.
Unrivaled dust suppression.
Dustless Blasting equipment is uncomplicated and effective by mixing the water, air, and abrasive within the blast pot. You no longer need all the other steps and complex products used by other machines. Other sandblasting machines either inject water into the stream of media with complex aftermarket fittings or they mix the media and water together mid stream through complex valves and hoses. Our dustless blasting design is a simple system that is easy to set up, refill and continuously blast with. See what the main difference are is between Dustless Blasting and sandblasting.
