The object determines the composition of the air-blast-chain

Abrasive air blast projects are divided in different disciplines. Each of these disciplines has its specific blast-solutions. For their effectiveness these solutions depend heavily upon the right composition of the different blast chain segments. Only the right combination and careful adjustment of each segment will result in a professional and profitable air blast chain. Gritco's vast manufacturing experience and extensive supply programme form a solid foundation for the most effective and durable air blast units possible.

The right composition of each blast chain
Roughening a concrete façade requires a different blasting approach than the accurate cleaning of an ancient cathedral. Therefore the object and required treatment are elementary for the composition of the most effective blast chain. All the different parts and elements of a specific chain need to be chosen carefully. Matters of concern are for example:

Sort of building or object
Specific measurements and materials
Level of pollution
Desired project duration
Maximum environmental tolerance

On the basis of this inventory, the required blast capacity can be mapped and the most effective blast chain can be composed. Gritco gladly assists (future) end users in this process by providing a closely tailored advisory report and quotation. Free of charge.

Accurate and precise blasting
As pollution has often penetrated deep into the surface of façades and monuments, the polluted top layer has to be blasted extensively but in a most careful manner. Accurate dosage, continuous flow of abrasives and precise, low blasting pressure are essential to do this job. Gritco's blast units are known for their accurate dosage and extensive adjusting facilities. Because of these features, delicate objects such as façades, monuments, wood and even glass (one of Gritco's specials!) can be blasted with the utmost care.
