Wet Abrasive Sandblasting
This is the process of shooting wet sand for industrial purposes though Silica Sand first used by Norman Ashwood. The method is still used to this day by for commercial use for the use of removing hazardous waste. Such as asbestos, radioactive materials, or other poisonous substances.
Though not as fast as conventional methods. However, the presence of the water creates various advantages for its use. As it provides lubrication and cushion that would prevent excessive damage from happening to the object being cleaned in the process of use.
However, this method is not recommended for the use on metal. As it can cause flash corrosion on the surfaces of metallic objects if used on them. Boston Mobile Sandblasters will advise you if this is the best method for your preparation or rust removal needs.
Bead Blasting
This is the method of using fine glass beads instead of the usual sand at a high pressure to remove surface deposits. Used to clean calcium deposits from pools, the removal of embedded fungus, Mohs hardness, and as a way to brighten grout color.
It is also used as method of removing paint in auto body shops as it is more reliable than traditional sand blasting as it creates a better surface profile. Bead blasting also creates a uniform surface on machine parts unlike some of the other options.
This method can also be used for cleaning mineral specimens from various sources. Some of which sometimes has a Mohs Hardness to them. This can be better because traditional sand might run a risk of damaging the specimens. At Boston Mobile Sandblasting we are professionals in every method described including this one.
Wheel Blasting
This is an airless method as it uses a high-speed spinning wheel against an object. This method is primarily used when there is no propellant or flammables present. Such as gasoline or propane. This method is highly effective with surfaces such as steel, stainless steel, cut wires, grit, and similar objects. Sandblasting Boston MA knows how to use each method effectively.
Hydro-Blasting
As the name suggests water is the sole substance with no other substances used in this method. Hydro blasting is a high-pressured steam of water used to prep a surface or piece of equipment. This usually requires one person to operate but it could become a two-person job depending on the pressure being used.
This method is mainly used in removing old paint, chemicals, or buildup without damaging the original surface. This method is commonly and ideally used in cleaning both internal and external surfaces. And it can be used to treat hard to reach palaces that can’t be reached by other methods. One of the major advantages is the ability to recapture and use the water safely.
Ideal for use in parks both commercial and recreational. This is a popular method used for our customers at Boston Dustless Blasting.
Micro-Abrasive Blasting
This method is used with smaller nozzle than other methods, the largest nozzle being only one and a half millimeters. This is used to deliver a fine stream accurately at small areas as part of a larger cleaning project. The accuracy of this method is so acute that you could write on glass and delicate enough to cut a pattern in an egg shell.
This method is commonly used with commercial bench mounted units consistently using a power supply and mixer, exhaust hood, nozzle, and gas supply. The nozzle can be hand held as a fixture mounted on for remote or automatic use.
Automated Blasting
The name speaks for the method itself. Making the method completely automated without the use of human intervention. Like other methods this is often used in a step in larger cleaning operations. Care is often needed in this method to isolate the blasting and keep it fine-tuned. As this can also lead to dust fouling. This is a less common form of abrasive blasting but when it works it sure works!
Dry-Ice Blasting - No Longer Offered
In this method a mixture of air and dry ice is used as the name suggests. This is mainly used to dislodge surface contaminants. Through the use of the force of the frozen carbon dioxide particles used hitting at a high velocity. However, there could be a slight shrinkage due to freezing. This method could be used to preserve underlying material as Dry Ice is a relativity soft material.
Bristle Blasting
This method unlike most does not require a substance to blast. It is used mainly with a brush like rotating tool. Which is made of dynamically tuned high carbon steel wire bristles. This is operated by sharp rotating bristle tips and results in localized impact, rebound, and carter formation, which will both clean and coarsen the surface of the material at the same time.
Vacuum Blasting
This method will produce very little dust and spills, or some might even say that this method is dustless as the method uses a dry abrasive. Then collects both what is used in the blasting as well as loosened particles loosened by the blasting then afterward.
This method like Hydro blasting has the option of being able to reuse the material used for dustless blasting as they are filtered out from the dust that is collected. Boston Sandblasting enjoys using this method due to it producing less dust, allowing us to move more efficiently through your local job!
