    Connect these blasters to an air source to remove contaminants from metal surfaces without the mess of abrasive media. They strip corrosion, coatings, mill scale, and other contaminants without removing underlying surface material. A rotating belt of wire bristles snaps against the surface to mimic the impact of blasting media. The impact of the bristles creates the same textured finish as blasting media for coating and sealant adhesion. Because they don’t use abrasive media, the only leftover material is the removed debris. This reduces cleanup time and keeps the surrounding air cleaner.
    Since they clean only what they touch, these blasters work more slowly than abrasive blasters that sweep large areas. Use them for small- to medium-sized tasks such as cleaning weld seams and prepping parts for coatings.
    Hazardous Location Rating—These blasters are approved for use in locations where ignitable gases may be present, such as chemical plants and refineries.

    No need for blasting media, power outlets, or compressed air. These blasters clean and texture surfaces wherever they’re needed. They strip corrosion, coatings, mill scale, and other contaminants from metal surfaces without removing underlying surface material. A rotating belt of wire bristles snaps against the surface to mimic the impact of blasting media. The impact of the bristles creates the same textured finish as blasting media for coating and sealant adhesion. However, they spin slower than electric and air-powered blasters, so they can’t remove heavy coatings and rust. Because they don’t use abrasive media, the only leftover material is the removed debris. This reduces cleanup time and keeps the surrounding air cleaner.
    Since they clean only what they touch, these blasters work more slowly than abrasive blasters that sweep large areas. Use them for small- to medium-sized tasks such as cleaning weld seams and prepping parts for coatings.
