Frequently Asked Questions
The Dustless Blaster works by mixing water and abrasive inside the blast tank. By introducing water we’re drastically increasing mass and energy the machine is putting out, while eliminating dust. Imagine throwing a handful of dry sand, versus throwing a handful of wet sand; which one is going to have a more significant impact on the target? Not only will the wet sand hit the target harder, but it won’t disintegrate and become a cloud of dust like the dry sand will. This is the very simple principle behind Dustless Blasting. The Dustless Blasting system has the following advantages over the old, outdated dry blasting method: Faster The Dustless Blaster can strip a car in under 2 hours. Minimal Dust The abrasive gets trapped in water and grounded, eliminating the plume of dust. Lower Abrasive Consuption The Dustless Blaster uses less media to do more work. Abrasive Flexibility The Dustless Blaster can use almost any abrasive that sinks in water. No Warping The water prevents friction and won’t warp thin metal like sandblasting will. Safe for Workers Recycled bottle glass contains no free silica, the leading cause of silicosis. Less Containment Needed In most cases, expensive, time consuming containment doesn't need to be set up. Doesn’t Affect Nearby Workers Never sacrifice productivity, other workers can work nearby unaffected. Leaves a Paint Ready Surface The rust inhibitor decontaminates the metal leaving a clean, chloride free paint ready surface.
We use a rust inhibitor called HoldTight 102 to prevent flash rusting for up to 72 hours. This extremely effective rust inhibitor is added to the blast water to prevent flash rust during blasting, and then used to rinse after blasting is complete.
Warping occurs when the metal heats up due to friction from dry abrasive. The Dustless Blaster will not cause warping, because friction and heat are reduced by the water. In fact the temperature of the metal being blasted usually comes down about 10 degrees from ambient. Some people say warping can still occur regardless of temperature, we disagree. Have you ever seen a blacksmith working cold metal?
Glass and chrome can be damaged by any kind of abrasive blasting. You should always mask off the chrome and glass prior to blasting, and we do!
