Bristle Blasting technology simultaneously removes corrosion and generates anchor profile.
The bristle tips are designed to strike the corroded surface with kinetic energy that is equivalent to standard processes that use grit blast media.
Immediately after the bristle tips strike the surface, they retract (“rebound”) from the surface, which results in both corrosion removal and micro-indentation that exposes fresh surface.
Consequently, surfaces that have been treated by Bristle Blasting have a texture and visual cleanliness that mimics those obtained by traditional grit blasting processes.
- Removes corrosion, coatings, mill scale and other contaminants – without removing healthy material
- Generates anchor profiles ranging from 2,5 to 3,3mil also on weld seams, edges, around bolts and on surface irregularities
- Restores corroded and pitted surfaces to near-white metal or white metal appearance – no grinding or polishing
- Generates compressive residual stress for crack growth resistance, improved life and improved corrosion resistance
- Cleans and profiles with long lasting, safe Bristle Blaster® Belts – eliminating the need for costly abrasive equipment.
- ATEX-approved, including Dust control
