Industries highly prefer sponge blasting cleaning technologies for removing any coating and even for profiling. It is a much safer practice than traditional dust removal procedures.
Like any other trending cleaning technology, this one also comes with its benefits, problems, solutions, and application knowledge. Before you use this technology of cleaning in your factories, you need to understand how it works and what clauses are attached.
What is sponge blasting, and how does it work?
Sponge abrasive blasting technology is a relatively new process of cleaning. It is a favourite alternative to hydro blasting, pneumatic blasting, or dry-ice blasting technologies.
The process involves the mechanism of blasting synthetic sponge material, embedded within micro-abrasive fragments. It is a safe cleaning technology that assures you of little rebounding or dust formation.
Unlike hydro blasting technologies, this is a drier option for cleaning purposes. Even the pressure of blasting is relatively low, around 70-100 PSI.
Types of abrasive used:
- There are more than 20
options for micro-abrasives that is suitable for the cleaning purpose.
- The profile requires
abrasive of 0-150-micron dimensions.
The method of blasting sponges for cleaning has several advantages. They are-
- The technique is
completely dry
- Reduces the level of dust
by 98% as in comparison with other abrasives
- Help with profiling up to
125 microns
- A safe method to blast
near electrical lines
- There is no risk of
effluent and chemical generation
- Reduces downtime for
future maintenance
Where can you apply sponge blasting?
The method is safe to apply in areas like-
- Cleaning machinery,
walls, refurbishing parts, etc
- Maintaining industrial
coating and its removal
- Decontamination from the
generation of nuclear power
Conclusion:
Sponge explosion is a new technique for cleaning in the industry; it is useful in every possible way. If you want something unique and cost-saving, you must try this method once.
