How it works

A vacuum shot blast is used to remove an existing coating on a floor and to create a keyed profile to the existing smooth floor. The blast machine is a specialist piece of equipment which means it needs to be operated by a professional.

The process is as follows:

While travelling with the blasting machine, a butterfly valve is opened. Steel shot or blasting media is released onto a propelled wheel fitted with blades that eject the shot onto the floor at high speed. The vacuum blasting machine recycles spent media back into the hopper while separating the dirt and debris that is being removed from the floor, which is vacuumed into the dust collection unit.

The floor is left with a clean, profiled finish which meets the mandated requirements. Any surplus shot left on the floor is removed using a magnetic sweeper. The floor is then swept to remove any remaining dust and debris.
