Soda blasting / Industrial cleaning

High-performance process installations, stainless steel tanks, moulds, heat exchangers and air fin banks, for example, need to be cleaned quickly and thoroughly without damaging the surface. Soda blasting with ARMEX makes this very much possible.

Applications of Soda Blasting

Soda blasting is an extremely effective method for cleaning and removing paint, especially when one or more of the following factors are essential:

  1. No alteration to the surface is allowed, making other blasting media unsuitable.
  2. The softness of the soda blasting media prevents damage to surrounding rotating or hydraulic parts.
  3. Because ARMEX is fully water-soluble, no residues are left behind in engines or process installations.

Soda blasting is therefore widely used for cleaning industrial installations, molds, critical engine parts, and anilox rolls (flexo). It is also an effective method for fire damage salvage.

The blast chain

Industrial cleaning projects not only need to be blasted thoroughly and safely, they also need to leave the treated surface untouched. And that is exactly what soda blasting with ARMEX does in practice: remove paint and dirt without roughening the surface.

To use ARMEX efficiently and cost-effectively, the precise setting of the amount of soda and blasting pressure is very important. For blast cabinet systems, extraction is crucial to maintain a good (dust-free) working view. Gritco has designed special soda blast pots and cabinets for this purpose.

The type of soda blasting work determines which compressor is most suitable. Moreover, dry compressed air is an absolute must when soda blasting.
