What Is a Shot Blasting Machine for Concrete?
A shot blasting machine for concrete is a specialized piece of equipment designed to clean, profile, and prepare concrete surfaces using high - velocity steel shots. This process is highly effective for removing contaminants, old coatings, and surface imperfections while creating a uniform surface profile. Shot blasting machines are widely used in the construction, maintenance, and restoration industries for various applications.
Applications
1.Surface Preparation:
Ideal for preparing concrete floors for new coatings, such as epoxy, polyurethane, or self - leveling overlays.
Removes laitance, dirt, and old coatings to ensure a clean and uniform surface.
2.Rust and Contaminant Removal:
Effective for removing rust, mill scale, and other contaminants from steel surfaces.
Cleans road markings and other surface lines.
3.Cleaning:
Removes dirt, grease, and biological growth from concrete surfaces, making it suitable for maintenance of industrial floors, bridges, and other structures.
4.Profiling:
Creates a roughened surface to enhance the bond strength of new materials.
