BLAST-IT-CLEAN: SPECIALTY MEDIA BLASTING

Specialty Media Blasting requires the use of a specialized, custom media blast pot. These pots are not available on a rental basis. The knowledge and training required to successfully utilize this equipment is essential to the success on projects utilizing this method of cleaning and stripping. Examples of this type of blasting include corn cobb and glass bead cleaning.

Corn Cobb Cleaning is a blast product made from the ground up cobs of seed corn. After the seed has been removed, the cobs are transferred to the grinding mill to grind and then graded for the blasting industry.

The ground cob comes in several different grades. The grading system used is similar to that of sand paper. The lower the grade number the larger and more aggressive the corn cob size.

Glass Bead Cleaning is ideal for Stainless Steel finish preparation.

The main drawback is the high silica content, which must be considered for any blasting project in an occupied space.
