Bead Blasting

Bead Blasting involves removing surface deposits by applying fine glass beads at various regulated pressures.

Unlike some harsher Shot Blasting methods, this is done without damaging the surface, thus making it suitable for soft metals and plastics and ideal for polishing stainless steel.

Benefits

Also known as glass bead peening, Bead Blasting offers a number of benefits:

It produces a perfectly clean uniform finish on even the most awkward of shapes, thus making it an ideal solution for the food, beverage and leisure industries when polishing stainless steel.
Unlike with heavy mechanical polishing, there is no accidental folding over of metal on welds, etc.., thus reducing the opportunities for micro biological organisms to manifest. Another important factor for the food industry.
Following Bead Blasting there is no acid weeping from joints and box sections, meaning no unsightly streaking and contamination on the finished surface.
Additionally, there is no impingement of ferrous contamination into the surface.

Smooth matt, semi sheen and silky ultra-smooth sheen finishes can be created.

Facilities

Our Bead Blasting room can accommodate items up to 6m x 3m x 3m. Larger projects handled by arrangement.
