Advantages, Selection and Application Scenarios of Sandblasting Equipment

Advantages of Sandblasting Equipment

  1. Sandblasting equipment does not cause basic damage to metal parts, and the dimensional accuracy does not change;

  2. The surface of the parts is not contaminated, and the abrasives do not chemically react with the material of the parts;

  3. Sandblasting equipment can easily handle grooves and other hard-to-reach areas, and a variety of abrasive grain sizes can be selected;

  4. Processing costs are significantly reduced, mainly due to the improved work efficiency of sandblasting equipment, meeting various surface finishing requirements;

  5. Low energy consumption and cost-saving;

  6. Sandblasting equipment does not pollute the environment, saving environmental management costs.

Choosing Sandblasting Equipment

  1. Generally, the sandblasting effect mainly depends on the material of the part and the abrasive material. According to the component material, the sandblasting range can vary from strong metal tools to weaker resin tools. Additionally, dry and liquid blasting are factors to consider.


  2. Production efficiency determines the type of equipment: select automatic sandblasting production lines, semi-automatic sandblasting equipment, pressure type sandblasters, or vacuums based on handling capacity. The size of the workpiece determines the equipment specifications: choose the cabin based on the size of the workpiece to ensure sufficient space for processing operations.


  3. Compressed air requirements: Based on the specifications of the sandblasting equipment, determine 20% of the capacity of the air compressor and reserve 20% of the capacity to protect the lifespan of the air compressor.

Applications of Sandblasting Equipment

  1. Surface cleaning: Sandblasting equipment like sandblasting room for sale can clean the oxide scales, oil stains, and other residues on the surface of workpieces, exposing a uniform and consistent metal color, and improving the grade and coating quality of the workpieces.


  2. Surface texturing: Sandblasting equipment creates uniform and fine concave-convex surfaces on the workpiece, increasing the specific surface area, improving lubrication, and reducing friction loss.


  3. Surface strengthening: Sandblasting equipment can strengthen the surface of workpieces by the impact of high-speed abrasives, enhancing fatigue strength and corrosion resistance of the workpieces.


  4. Surface beautification: Sandblasting equipment can achieve different reflective or matte effects. For certain special-purpose workpieces, such as stainless steel parts, plastic polishing, jade polishing, matte finishing of wooden furniture surfaces, frosting patterns on glass surfaces, and fleece processing on fabric surfaces, sandblasting equipment can achieve various surface treatment effects to meet different usage requirements.
