Shot blasting, remove debris and irregularities

Application areas

(5)

Effectively clean and prepare surfaces such as steel, concrete and asphalt.
More easily remove top layers and coatings such as rust, paint and epoxy.
Efficient removal of markings and rubber from highways,industrial floors and more.
Improve skid resistance on surfaces such as sidewalks, bike paths, roads and runways.
Create optical and aesthetic effects on surfaces such as roads, highways and runways.

Concrete surface profiles (CSP)

The profile left behind on the surface when shot blasting depends on the size of the steel shot, the speed of the machine and the amount of steel shots you throw on the surface. With shot blasting you can achieve surface profiles levels 3-7 (set by ICRI – International concrete restoration institute). See the chart for more guidance.


Surface Profile	CSP-3	CSP-4	CSP-5	CSP-6	CSP-7
Method	Heavy grinding or very light shot blasting	Light shot blasting	Medium shot blasting	Medium / heavy shot blasting or light scarifying	Heavy shot blasting or medium scarifying
Hardware	To achieve CSP-3, use a Husqvarna grinder with PCD tools or use a Blastrac shot blaster with small sized steel shot at maximum speed.	To achieve CSP-4, use a Blastrac shot blaster with small / medium sized steel shot at high speed.	To achieve CSP-5, use a Blastrac shot blaster with medium sized steel shot at medium speed	To achieve CSP-6, use a Blastrac shot blaster with medium / larged sized steel shot at medium speed or a Blastrac scarifier at low depth	To achieve CSP-7, use a Blastrac shot blaster with large sized steel shot at low speed or a Blastrac scarifier at medium depth.
