About Media Blasting

Dustless Blasting is a revolutionary paint stripping and cleaning system that can remove virtually any coating from almost any surface, without creating a huge plume of dust.

The Dustless Blaster works by mixing water and abrasive inside the blast tank. By introducing water, we’re drastically increasing mass and energy the machine is putting out, while suppressing dust.

Wet abrasive blasting with our Dustless Blasting machine helps contain the plume of dust typically associated with the alternative dry abrasive or sand blasting.

Though the wet abrasive blasting method isn’t completely magic, the process is essentially dustless with so few airborne particles compared to dry abrasive blasting.

Abrasive (also called media or abrasive blasting media) can be dry or mixed with water depending on the application. When abrasive blasting, you propel this mixture towards a surface at high speed, to remove paint, rust, and other coatings.

For wet blasting, we can use several different types of media as long as they sink in water and are not water soluble. The most popular and inexpensive media of choice is 40/70 recycled bottle glass. Glass is chemically inert, environmentally friendly, and contains less than one percent free silica.

Our Media Blasting machine can also dry blast. For this process, we can use any media a traditional dry blaster would use such as blast sand, sugar sand or walnut shells. The heavier the media the more impact it will have on the surface you are treating. 

We will choose the best media for the job based on our experience at blasting different surfaces.
