When you have equipment with hard chrome plating, glass, steel, wood, or even stone surfaces, finding effective ways to clean and maintain these components is a must. Sandblasting is a trusted maintenance option that uses a combination of sand and highly pressurized air to abrasively cleanse debris from surfaces. Here are a few advantages to scheduling this type of service for your equipment on an annual basis. 

4 Benefits of Sandblasting

1. Protects Equipment From Corrosion

Over time, metal can corrode and rust due to oxygen and moisture exposure. Sandblasting can eliminate rust that builds up over time to enhance the longevity of equipment. Better still, with rust properly removed, you can rest easy knowing machinery and critical construction materials will function adequately and safely moving forward. 

2. Smooths Surfaces

For visual appeal, you may want to paint or repaint metal pieces. Before you begin the painting process, sandblasting can smooth surfaces to ensure an even and aesthetically pleasing paint job. By buffing away rough spots and clearing away debris in advance, your painting project will not only look better, but last longer. 

3. Eliminates Oil & Contaminants

In manufacturing plants, warehouses, industrial settings, and even auto shops, machinery in use will start to accumulate oil, lubricants, and other contaminants. These elements will buildup if not removed, and eventually act as an adhesive, preventing the equipment from performing correctly. Sandblasting will eliminate debris and unwanted substances to maximize precision and performance. 

4. Quick & Convenient

Sandblasting does not require the use of harsh chemical cleaning products in order to clean and buff away debris. The process is fast and convenient, limiting production downtime, workflow disruptions, and enhancing the performance of your equipment and surfaces within hours.
