What is sand blasting?

  It is one of the most important ways preferred in surface cleaning processes. Sandblasting is a procedure that abrasives are sprayed on the surface in particular speed and angle. During hit, the abrasive abrade the surface at micron level and at the same time it stratches and clean all kinds of unwanted materials on the surface. 
Sandblasting which is applied by portable shot blasting machines is a type of blasting that applied in place with a compressor that produces high-pressure air to the place where the blasting process will be performed, shot blasting machine, hoses and these kind of equipments. These equipments are carried to the place where sandblasting will be performed.  Sandblasting that performs by portable shot blasting machine can be performed in everywhere. But the only disadvantage of this method is dust. The largest speciality of portable shot blasting machine with suction system that is used on sensitive blasting is low air consumption and ease of handling. Portable shot blasting machine can have sand by 50 kg with big sand tank. Portable shot blasting machines can spray all kinds of required sandblasting and consumables materials via sandblasting guns that have great sandblast power. Portable shot blasting machine which has 0,9 cubic meter/minute (6 bar) air consumption can be moved easily because it is wheeled.  Through the regulator at air inlet which is on the portable shot blasting machine, portable shot blasting machine provides operate at required pressure. Sheet metal surface of the portable shot blasting machine which is designed for blasting works of small scale, had been put under protection against strokes and straches by electrostatics powder coat. At portable shot blasting machines, high strength sandblasting gun with stainless steel case and abrasion resistant boron carbide blasting nozzle are used. When portable shot blasting machine uses at 2-10 bar operating pressure, air requirement of 0,5-1,2 cubic meter / per minute occures. With these qualities, portable shot blasting machine either provides energ saving and performs sensitive sandblasting.  

There are automatic and manual working types.
In our country, at roughening before surfacing and surface finishing processes this method has been started to be used recently but has taken the the most important place.

Sandblasting previously was known as "to throw the sea sand with pressure to the surface" but afterwards this method had been started play significant role in the development of our industry with the design of machines appropriate for various granule and materials.
