Maximize Profit For Your Business With Dustless Blasting

How Does Dustless Blasting Equipment Work?

All Dustless Blasting systems employ the "Venturi effect" blast method. The Venturi system stores water and blast media in the main blast chamber. From there, compressed air flows through the feed system and creates a vacuum. As a stream of high-pressure air moves through the blast pot, the vacuum from the Venturi effect sucks the abrasive media and water mixture out of the chamber and through the blast hose. Because of the nature of the Venturi system, operators are less likely to experience clogging from sinking, wet media.

Blast Wet or Dry

Dustless blasting equipment showcases its versatility by seamlessly transitioning between dry and wet blasting. In dry blasting, abrasive media is propelled with precision, efficiently removing rust, coatings, and contaminants from surfaces - typically producing a plume of dust. On the flip side, the equipment effortlessly transforms into a wet blasting powerhouse when water is introduced into the mix - reducing dust by 97%. This dual capability not only provides operators with flexibility but also ensures that the dustless blasting equipment is adaptable to a wide range of applications, making it a go-to solution for industries seeking efficient, clean, and precise surface preparation methods.

Blasting Media: Unlimited Options

With Dustless Blasting equipment, you have an abundance of options for blasting. The versatility to dry blast, wet blast, and soda blast allows you to explore a vast array of abrasive materials. Here are a few examples of media types at your disposal. However, for a comprehensive guide on sandblast media, we recommend checking out our blog.

Abrasive Materials For Dry Blasting

Generally, there are two categories we can break abrasive media into. There are abrasives specifically for dry-media blasting, and there are abrasives that can be used in both wet and dry blasting. Dry blasting-specific media can't be used in wet blasting applications as the material does not sink in water, a key parameter for successful wet blasting.

• Sugar Sand
• Corn Cob
• Walnut Shells
• Sodium bicarbonate

Abrasive Materials for Wet Blasting

• Steel Grit
• Steel Shot
• Garnet
• Crushed Glass
• Aluminum oxide
• Glass Beads
• Coal Slag

Worker Safety & Eco Friendly

Dustless blasting stands as a beacon of environmental responsibility, embodying a commitment to sustainability and workplace safety.

Eco Friendliness

By incorporating water into the abrasive blasting process, this innovative technology significantly reduces airborne dust, mitigating the environmental impact associated with traditional sandblasting methods. These systems enable blasting in areas with strict regulations like dry docks, public spaces, residential areas, and outdoor spaces in close proximity to landscaping. In addition to creating a cleaner and healthier work environment, this innovative technology also enhances productivity by allowing nearby workers to focus on other tasks at the job site while the blasting process takes place.

OSHA Approved

The suppression of dust not only safeguards the well-being of workers by minimizing exposure to harmful particles but also adheres to OSHA guidelines, setting a higher standard for occupational safety. In essence, dustless blasting emerges as the ideal solution for businesses seeking to balance productivity with environmental consciousness and compliance with the highest safety standards recommended by regulatory authorities like OSHA.

Case Studies

Discover the success stories of businesses that have transformed their operations with the adoption of dustless blasting technology. These real-world examples underscore the versatility and transformative impact of dustless blasting equipment, illustrating its effectiveness in meeting the unique needs of each business and positioning them for long-term success in their respective industries.

Shipyard Uses Dustless Blasting for Epoxy removal - Increased productivity and Cut downtime

The owner of a prominent marine repair shipyard on the Mexican Pacific coast has significant productivity concerns due to the dust production from their current dry blasting processes.

At their request, we embarked on a series of experiments in order to quantify exactly the benefits of upgrading their shipyard's dry sandblasting equipment to DUSTLESS BLASTING® equipment.

Our Results & Conclusions

Our main takeaway is that wet blasting with copper slag (their abrasive of choice) is significantly speedier than dry blasting. The tremendous advantage of transitioning their equipment line to dustless blasting cannot be emphasized enough, as it is not only faster, but also suppresses dust, enabling nearby workers to carry on with their tasks uninterrupted.

• The shipyard's dry blasting average removal rate: 11 square meters per hour
• DUSTLESS BLASTING® average removal rate: 14.5 square meters per hour 

In this field test, Dustless Blasting provided a 31.82% increase in coating removal speed compared to dry blasting.
