Industrial Cleaning

With the downturn of the building sector, we have been called upon more to provide a cleaning and abrasive blasting service to industry. A data sheet on our industrial cleaning services is availablehere.

We specialise in using a low pressure sand jetting system, obviously sometimes traditional sand/bead blasting is more appropriate for metal cleaning. Equally pressure washing may sometimes suffice. We also offer priming of cleaned metals using Zinga or other primers (and currently we are very positive towards the moisture curing urethane products of MCU coatings)
The damp nature of our standard blast captures dirt and abrasive, preventing the health and safety risks associated with dry blasting. It also acts as a coolant, and therefore can clean thin metals, such as motor vehicle shells, without heating the surface causing distortion.

A further advantage of the system we use is that it also uses far less abrasive than traditional techniques, making expensive abrasives, such as garnet, cost effective, and more significantly reducing waste. Abrasive does not need to be recycled, preventing cross contamination between jobs, and apart from in specialist cases, is not a major part of the running costs.

We have a blasting bay at our Beverley premises, enabling us to undertake some work in house, and under cover. (Please note that we do most of our work away on site, so please phone before arriving at our office with something to clean.)

A fire damaged Warehouse cleaned and part primed using MCU Aluprime in Spring 2009

A bridge blasted in the Summer of 2008

Large storage tanks blasted and primed using Zinga in August 2008 - a simple tarpaulin minimised the debris field from the damp blast system - dry blasting would have spread debris all over the site.

Zinga cold galvanising is our standard treatment of blasted steel.

Key Benefits

• The low pressures mean that the system is gentle enough to clean delicate surfaces, yet powerful enough to strip multiple layers of paint in one pass.
• It is not a chemical process so no noxious or harmful slurries or fumes are generated.
• As it uses only minimal amounts of water and abrasive the system is regularly used indoors.
• Preparation of surfaces to SA 2.5
• Cold Galvanising and priming of blasted steel structures
