Soda blasting / Industrial cleaning
Soda blasting is the ideal method for removing tough contamination and coatings without damaging the surface. It is ideal for industrial applications where cleaning and material preservation must go hand in hand.
When soda blasting makes the difference
Soda blasting is ideal in situations where other methods have too much impact or pose a risk. This technique is particularly effective when:
- The surface must remain unchanged – even the finest alternative abrasives would cause damage.
- Vulnerable parts must be protected – soda blasting is mild and does not affect rotating or hydraulic systems.
- Absolute cleanliness is required – ARMEX is completely water-soluble and is guaranteed not to leave any residue in engines or process installations.
- Alternative to high-pressure water – soda blasting cleans thoroughly with much less force and can also be carried out dry, which is ideal for critical or delicate components.
Typical applications
Thanks to these properties, soda blasting is widely used for:
- Industrial process installations and stainless steel tanks
- Air fin banks and heat exchangers
- Moulds in plastic and rubber production
- Critical engine parts and hydraulic systems
- Anilox rolls in the flexographic industry
- Cleaning after fire damage
The blasting chain – Gritco's specialism
Industrial cleaning is not only about thorough results, but also about keeping the surface completely intact. Soda blasting with ARMEX removes contamination and coatings without roughening the material – ideal for critical industrial applications.
However, efficient soda blasting requires more than just the right abrasive:
- Special soda blast pots from Gritco – ensure accurate adjustment of soda and blasting pressure, allowing you to work efficiently and cost-effectively.
- Reliable extraction for blast cabinets – essential for good visibility and a clean working environment.
- The right compressor and dry compressed air – indispensable for stable and trouble-free blasting.
Gritco forms the complete blasting chain for ARMEX soda blasting: from abrasive to equipment and supporting machinery.
