We specialise in using a low pressure sand jetting system, obviously sometimes traditional sand/bead blasting is more appropriate for metal cleaning.

However The 'wet' system also 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.)

Motorway Crash Barrier, blasted clean as part of a Trial, August 2003. We are approved Zinga Applicators, and this was part of a demonstration of cleaning and Zinganising of the crash barriers.

Zinga is a one component Zinc product similar in effectiveness to hot dip galvanising.

Zinga cold galvanising is our standard treatment of blasted steel.

bulletThe 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.
bulletIt is not a chemical process so no noxious or harmful slurries or fumes are generated.
bulletAs it uses only minimal amounts of water and abrasive the system is regularly used indoors.
