Shot blasting technology is widely used not only in the automotive industry, but also in the rail and bridge industries for surface preparation and cleaning.
The rail sector uses shot blasting machines to clean and prepare rail surfaces before they are formed and installed. Shot blasting removes rust, scale or impurities from the rail surface, providing ideal conditions for subsequent welding, joining or coating processes. After shot blasting, the service life of the rail can be extended.
Similarly, shot blasting machines are used to prepare different surfaces in the bridge construction and maintenance sector. This involves cleaning concrete surfaces before applying sealants, overlays or other protective coatings, such as road and bridge decks. The shot blasting process improves the adhesion and effectiveness of these protective treatments and helps to create a clean, rough surface.
In addition, shot blasting is also used for steel structures, including girders, beams and trusses, which are the basic components of bridges. In order to prepare the steel surface for the application of a new protective coating, this cleaning procedure removes any existing paint, rust or other coatings. The shot blasting process enhances the long-term durability and corrosion resistance of bridge structures, leaving the steel surface clean and well prepared.
