Used Sandblasting in Alberta, Canada

Match pot or wheel capacity to expected production, choose a durable pressure or wheel blaster rated for continuous use, and verify mounting points, weight and power or compressor needs for your loader or transport vehicle.

Use garnet or steel shot for aggressive metal prep, glass bead for finishing, and softer abrasives for delicate surfaces. Consider recyclability and waste disposal rules when choosing media.

Inspect wear parts (nozzles, hoses, blast pot liners, impellers), check pressure vessel certification, test dust collector seals and controls, review compressor hours and maintenance records, and look for corrosion or weld repairs.

Equipment is palletized or crated and shipped by flatbed or container. Prepare lifting points, drain fluids, secure loose parts, and disclose weight and volume. Heavy or oversized units may need permits and escort services.

Most abrasive media are non‑hazardous, but some spent media can contain hazardous contaminants. Declare any hazardous residue, follow local disposal rules, and label shipments if required by carrier.

Replace nozzles and hoses on wear, inspect liners and valves, clean or change dust collector filters, monitor compressor oil and filters, and keep records of media cleanliness and pressure settings.
