What is Shot Blasting?

Shotblasting is the process of blasting a concrete surface with steel shot (small steel balls) at a high velocity. This removes contamination and laitance (soft concrete) to reveal a mechanical profile for improved bonding. The concrete dust is recovered by a powerful dust collection system.

Advantages of Shot Blasting

As the method of surface preparation recommended by most coating manufacturers, steel shot blasting...

• eliminates the use of harsh, non-eco friendly chemicals and leaves the concrete floor with the desired profile.
• is known for high production rates, blast pattern accuracy, and wide abrasive selection.
• lends itself to efficient disposal of dust and other contaminants.
• can be performed indoors or outdoors.
• can be accomplished with our ride-on, diesel-powered machines or our walk-behind, electric powered machines.
