Glass Bead Tumble Blasting

Large batches of relatively small parts that need to be blasted can be extremely labor intensive when blasting each part by hand. Batching a load of parts together in an automated tumble blasting process will allow for quantities of parts to be blasted all together without the need for an operator's 'hands-on' blasting. Tumble blasting also provides coverage on all areas (3-D, 360 degrees) of the part as the load tumbles under the blast stream.

After Tumble Blasting

This is one piece of an old ratchet set with parts ranging in size up to 1" diameter and 3" long. The rusty load was tumbled blasted for 10 minutes with Medium-Fine Glass Bead at 80 PSI. The result is a like-new, smooth, satin finish.
