Blasting and surface treatment across virtually every manufacturing sector
From precision aerospace components to ship tanks and large steel structures.
Technology is selected by the process, not only by the industry name
Blasting is used for cleaning, coating and corrosion removal, paint preparation, creation of a defined profile, matting, decorative finishing, removal of manufacturing residues and treatment of moulds, castings, pipes, composites and many other products. SURFACE evaluates the workpiece, material, required result, capacity, abrasive, compressed air, filtration, safety and maintenance as one system.
