The Evolution of Dustless Blasting
Sanstorm was born in 1941 when F.H. Roselle patented the first abrasive blasting machine, laying the foundation for a new industry. As demand grew, the company expanded, moving to Houston, TX, in 1970, where we still manufacture today.
Fast forward to 1994, when MMLJ Inc. acquired Sanstorm, bringing decades of blasting expertise under one roof. Always pushing the limits of innovation, we began developing a more versatile, efficient blasting system in 2009. Our goal? To create a machine that could wet blast, dry blast, and soda blast—all in one. One year later, Dustless Blasting was born. In 2015, we secured the patent, solidifying our place as the future of surface preparation.
Grounded in the Past, Leading the Future
Our commitment to quality craftsmanship means we don’t just look at today’s needs; we’re also focused on leading the future. At MMLJ, we’ve blended decades of experience with cutting-edge technology to create a solution that adapts to your needs, whether you're a seasoned contractor or an aspiring business owner.
Each of our machines is built in our state-of-the-art 70,000+ sq. ft. Houston facility, where we use advanced tools like robots, plasma tables, and high-powered welders to ensure precision and durability. From traditional blast pots to our mobile units designed for entrepreneurs ready to hit the road, our equipment is engineered for flexibility, efficiency, and long-term performance.
Dustless Blasting Technology: Patented, Proven Design
At the core of every Dustless Blasting system is our patented Venturi technology. This innovative design uses compressed air to create a vacuum that draws the abrasive mixture through the blast pot, providing a steady, controlled flow of wet and dry media. Unlike traditional gravity-fed systems, our technology reduces clogging risks, ensuring you get reliable performance every time you step into the field.
In a recent field test, a shipyard achieved a 31.82% increase in epoxy removal efficiency by switching to Dustless Blasting technology. Get the results here.
Whether you’re tackling industrial surface prep or getting your mobile business up and running, our machines are built to handle nearly any abrasive material on the market. With the versatility to switch between wet, dry, and soda blasting in one machine, our blast pots adapt to your business, not the other way around.
