What is Floor Shot Blasting?

Floor shot blasting is a method that involves propelling steel balls at high velocities onto a surface to clean, prepare, or finish it.

This abrasive process is commonly used in industrial settings to remove old coatings, rust, or contaminants from concrete or metal surfaces. 

The high-speed impact of the steel balls creates a profile on the surface, improving adhesion for coatings or creating a textured finish. 

Depending on the desired outcome and the type of material being treated, steel balls can be used in different sizes and hardness levels. 

Floor shot blasting is an efficient and environmentally friendly technology that helps enhance the durability and aesthetics of surfaces.

How Does Floor Shot Blasting Work?

Shoot blasting uses a specialised machine to propel abrasive particles or steel balls against the floor surface at high speeds.

These machines have potent turbines that generate the necessary force to propel the abrasives. As the abrasive particles hit the floor, they remove contaminants, old coatings, and rough spots, preparing the surface for further treatment. 

Different abrasives, including steel grit, aluminium oxide, and glass beads, can be used in shot blasting. Each offers unique properties for specific applications.

What Surfaces Can Be Shot Blasted?

Shot blasting can be used on various surfaces, including concrete, steel, and other durable materials.

Concrete surfaces are commonly treated with shot blasting to remove old coatings and contaminants or to prepare them for new finishes. 

Steel structures benefit from shot blasting to remove rust, scale, or old paint, ensuring proper adhesion for subsequent coatings. 

Various other materials, such as stone, asphalt, and wood, can also undergo shot blasting for surface cleaning and preparation.

Shot blasting is an ideal method for preparing floors in industrial settings, warehouses, and manufacturing plants. 

The process creates a roughened surface profile that improves coating adherence, increasing the floor’s durability and longevity.

What Are the Benefits of Floor Shot Blasting?

The benefits of floor shot blasting are numerous, ranging from effective surface preparation to environmental sustainability.

Removal of Surface Contaminants

One of the primary benefits of shot blasting is its effectiveness in removing surface contaminants such as dirt, dust, and debris.

By eliminating these contaminants, shot blasting cleans the surface and prepares it for further treatments such as painting or coating. 

The process ensures that the surface is free from any impurities, allowing for better adhesion and longevity of the applied finishes. 

Without proper cleaning, contaminants can interfere with the bonding of coatings, leading to premature failure and a compromised final result.

Preparation for Coatings and Sealants

Shot blasting is an ideal preparation method for applying coatings and sealants, ensuring maximum adhesion and longevity.

Shot blasting creates a clean and rough profile by removing contaminants, old coatings, and rust from surfaces, allowing the coatings and sealants to adhere firmly. 

This process effectively removes surface imperfections, promoting better penetration and durability of the final coating.

Shot blasting facilitates even coverage of coatings, resulting in a smoother finish. The blasting process’s mechanical action also helps strengthen the surface, enhancing the overall resilience and longevity of the applied coatings and sealants.

Improved Surface Adhesion

Improved surface adhesion is a significant benefit of shot blasting, as it creates a rough texture, allowing for better bonding of coatings and materials.

When the adhesion between the substrate and the applied material is strong, the finish is more durable and long-lasting. 

This improvement in surface adhesion is crucial in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, where the quality and longevity of the final product are paramount.

The enhanced adhesion achieved through shot blasting ensures that coatings adhere uniformly across the surface, minimising the risk of delamination or peeling over time. 

This process also helps to remove any existing surface contaminants, further improving the overall adhesion and results of the finishing process.

Environmental Friendliness

Shot blasting is an environmentally friendly process that generates minimal waste and reduces dust and debris.

By utilising abrasive materials such as steel shots or grit, shot blasting efficiently cleans and prepares surfaces without producing harmful by-products that can harm the environment. 

The waste generated during this process is significantly reduced compared to traditional methods, making it a sustainable choice for various industries.

Another significant benefit of shot blasting is the reduction in airborne dust and debris, which creates a safer and healthier work environment for operators and nearby individuals. 

This decrease in dust production enhances the air quality and minimises the need for extensive clean-up efforts after the surface treatment is completed.

Our Floor Shot Blasting Process

Our floor shot blasting process is meticulously designed to ensure optimal preparation, execution, and clean-up, delivering top-notch results every time.

Step 1: Surface Preparation

The first step in our shot blasting process is thorough surface preparation, which includes cleaning and preliminary treatment to ensure readiness.

Surface preparation is crucial in shot blasting as it helps in achieving optimal results by creating a clean and properly treated surface. 

Cleaning involves removing contaminants like rust, paint, or scale, ensuring that the blasting process can work effectively. 

Preliminary treatment helps enhance the bonding of coatings or finishes to the surface, improving durability and performance.

Various methods, such as abrasive blasting, chemical cleaning, or mechanical surface preparation, suit different types of surfaces and contaminants.

Each method is chosen based on factors like the material being treated, the desired finish, and the extent of surface damage.

Step 2: Shot Blasting

We employ our state-of-the-art shot-blasting machines to propel abrasive particles onto the surface during the second step.

This essential process involves using a machine that forcibly propels small, sharp particles, known as abrasives, at high speeds onto the target surface. 

The abrasive particles, such as steel grit or garnet, are propelled by the machine’s forceful blast stream, effectively removing contaminants and roughening the surface for better adhesion.

Our shot-blasting machines are carefully calibrated to control the speed and intensity of the abrasive particles, ensuring precise and consistent results. 

This meticulous process allows for thorough cleaning, surface preparation, and finishing of various materials.

Step 3: Cleanup and Finishing Touches

The final step involves meticulous clean-up and finishing touches, ensuring that all dust and debris are removed and the surface is impeccable.

After the treatment is completed, it is imperative to clean up thoroughly to achieve a pristine result. This involves sweeping or vacuuming all visible dust and debris. Next, wipe down the surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue or particles.

Finishing touches may include polishing, buffing, or applying a protective sealant to enhance the appearance and durability of the treated area.
