If you want to prepare a surface for the application of paint or lacquer, or to clean it, strengthen it or remove corrosion, sandblasting is the best solution! It can be used to process various materials such as metals, plastic, concrete, stone, wood, glass, etc. It can also be used to achieve various structural and decorative effects.
Advantages of sandblasting
The best ratio between PRICE and QUALITY compared to the other techniques.
- Chemical-free process.
- A safe and harmless process.
- The blasting medium can be recycled and reused.
Why sandblast?
Sandblasting is used for creating rough surfaces, removing corrosion, deburring, removing paint, cleaning, restoration of fire damage, creating a texture according to the VOI scale and much more.
Working principle
Sandblasting is a special technique, using compressed air for pneumatic acceleration of abrasive medium.
The medium is accelerated to high velocities (800 km/h) via a dedicated nozzle under high air pressure and used to “shell” the workpiece.
The medium strikes the surface with high kinetic energy, removing the top layer of dirt or oxides, or properly roughening it in preparation for further processing.

Customer opinions
We have been sanding a pylon all day. We realised that this was not the right approach, so we decided to try blasting the pylon! The Blast Tehnik team saved us a lot of time and worked with our other maintenance contractors to make sure that our lifts continue to operate safely.
