Surface profile (anchor pattern) and degree of cleanliness are the two important factors to take into consideration when preparing surfaces for a coating. Both are critical to the performance of any coating system. Whilst often mistaken as being one in the same, it is very important to know the difference between these two measurements. Coating […]

As mentioned in one of our previous blogs, blast hose is consists of 3 main components; an inner tube, braiding (reinforcement) and an outer cover. Despite its wear resistant compound, the inner tube of blast hose is prone to wear over time. Some tubes have better wear resistance than others. Once the inner tube is

Since the introduction of our dustless blast pots, the frequent question of “Which method is better: dustless blasting or conventional blasting?” has been asked. We usually get a strange look when we reply with this unusual answer – neither! It is not possible to compare two methods of abrasive blasting when they have each been

  For beginners, abrasive blasting (sandblasting) can initially seem quite overwhelming. A new operator is immediately bombarded with jargon related to air compressors, nozzle sizes, grit selection etc. Before you get too caught up in the more extensive setup of abrasive blasting, it is vital to take a step back and look at the first

The length of time that blast hose lasts is dependent on two factors – abrasive resistance and proper sizing.

Blast up to 30% faster than your competitors!   Nozzle design is a crucial component in determining sandblasting performance. It is at the nozzle that abrasives are accelerated. From this it is easy to understand that the longer the nozzle the greater the acceleration of abrasives.Storm Machinery’s latest 13mm venturi nozzle design is 94% longer, enabling
