MEAN GREEN BLASTING uses environmentally-friendly mobile dustless blasting technology. It removes any coating, leaving clean, undamaged surfaces. Call Mean Green Blasting in Kansas for on-site residential, commercial and industrial blasting done properly.
Blasting Techniques and Equipment
Blasting strips paint, removes dirt, texturizes profiles, and prepares surfaces for coatings to bond. Rent equipment for personal use. Recover media via vacuum, shovel or mechanical means. Recycle substitute media in a blasting cabinet.
Silica media causes lung disease. Use substitute media. Wood requires preparation before blasting to avoid contamination. Optimal blasting needs 100 PSI compressors. Inexpensive storage containers can be sandblasting cabinets.
Laser cleaning also removes rust, oxides, grease and paint without damage. Substitute media vary in efficiency and impact. Glass beads uniformly finish but traditional materials shape metal.
Health, Safety, and Environment
The environment is often dusty and loud. Workers face chemicals, electrocution risk, and hand injuries from sand injection. Wear protective respirators, glasses, and gloves.
Green blasting is environmentally-friendly, efficient and cost effective. Tactics range from simple to sophisticated. Inspect blast nozzles regularly for erosion. Use recyclable media whenever possible.
Advanced Blasting Technologies
Field trials use waste oil blended explosives. This reduces greenhouse emissions through better blasting.
The MBX Bristle Blaster mimics kinetic sandblasting energy for a clean surface. It takes longer than grit blasting. Replacement bristles are still expensive.
A neural network and fuzzy cognitive map predict vertical and horizontal dust emissions distribution simultaneously. This follows the green mining policy.
Sandblasting Alternatives and Restrictions
Why is sand blasting forbidden now?
Silica blasting causes lung disease and is now forbidden. Use substitutes and sandblast before powdercoating so coatings bond. Reuse media in cement after recycling.
As silica blasting is now forbidden, wood still requires preparation before using substitute media to avoid contamination. The process strips paint and stains from furniture, doors, windows and more after other methods fail.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the two types of blasting?
Blasting removes any coating, leaving clean, undamaged surfaces. Rent equipment for personal use. Recover media through vacuum, shovel or mechanical means. Recycle substitute media in a blasting cabinet.
If properly equipped, blast. However, silica blasting is now forbidden. Recycle substitute media after cement recycling.
Pencil blasters allow detailed cleaning of small items in wood, glass or metal.
