BlastOne has a long history of working with trailer manufacturing and maintenance facilities to get their rigs rolling.  We treat each project as a unique challenge and partner with you to find the fastest, safest and cleanest solution for your team.

A protective coating system has a distinct service life. No coating lasts for ever – particularly not in a harsh environment. Extending that service life is possible with quality coatings, applied with quality coating equipment, applied over a substrate which has been prepared to a high quality standard using high quality blasting equipment and high quality abrasive. From brushes and rollers to turnkey plural component spraying systems, BlastOne is your one-stop-shop source of supply.

Here are a few common issues we’ve found from working with the industry:

A clean surface is the first step to having a quality, durable finish on heavy, transport equipment, trucks or trailers. Abrasive blasting removes dirt, dust, imperfections and unwanted contaminants from the surface requiring protection. White metal surface is an ideal finish for primer and epoxy sealing. 

Road transport assets require an impenetrable barrier to protect the steel from corrosion. These assets are high value and when in service earn significant income. When road transport assets are out of service, losses in income and productivity ultimately lead to a loss of profits.

Abrasive blasting is the best way to ensure the surface is ready for proper coating application and lengthening the service life of the coating. 

In order to save time during blasting, using a bulk pot can cut down on project downtime. You will no longer have to stop mid-shift to depressurize and refill the pot. 

One of the biggest hurdles for the road transport industry is outdated equipment. If you wish to increase the output and reduce the costs of your blast and paint facility, if blaster employee turnover is high, or a poor safety record is a concern, BlastOne recommends automated surface preparation systems. Either the robotic manipulator arm style of blasting or wall or gantry mounted machinery can automate your blasting. To save time during blasting, using a bulk pot can cut down on project downtime. You will no longer have to stop mid-shift to depressurize and refill the pot and they can supply multiple blast nozzle.

ROBOTS & AUTOMATION

Using robotics for sandblasting is an increasing trend in the abrasive blasting industry. Robotic Blasting improves your profits, productivity and employee safety more than any other development in the modern age. Simple to operate, customizable, and can be used for complete manual blasting if required.

ABRASIVE RECOVERY SYSTEMS

Abrasive media is one of the biggest recurring costs for any blasting operator. A single contractor can blast up to 6 tons of abrasive in a single day. To save on abrasive cost, recover and recycle used abrasive.

BlastOne’s oscillating cross conveyor system which has a live sieve on it, efficiently removes coarse trash from the reusable media. The next stage of the cleaning process is the air wash. This passes a curtain of used abrasive across a low-suction extraction system to remove abrasive fines. The system works completely out-of-sight to not interfere with day-to-day operations, with external access to key component parts. It has proven to be efficient and effective, with little-to-no maintenance necessary.
