Unlike traditional methods like soda blasting or chemical stripping, PMB eliminates the need for toxic chemicals, sandblasting, or labor-intensive mechanical abrasion. This process leaves no harmful residues or coatings behind, making it an environmentally friendly option. While similar to sandblasting in concept, PMB uses gentler, recycled plastic media and operates at lower pressures, typically between 7 and 40 lbs depending on the material being treated.

Moisture Removal for Plastic Media Blasting (PMB)
This low-pressure approach ensures safety for delicate components like chrome, glass, rubber, and wiring. PMB can also meet Mil-Spec standards and utilizes plastic media available in varying grades of hardness.
Applications for Plastic Media Blasting
- Stripping paint and powder coatings
- Removing coatings and preparing surfaces
- Cleaning parts
- Deflashing, deburring, and cleaning molds
Blasting Equipment
The effectiveness of any blasting operation relies on specialized equipment designed to propel abrasive materials at controlled speeds. High-performance blast machines, automated systems, and nozzles tailored to specific blasting agents and pressure levels ensure consistent and uniform surface treatment. Reliable equipment is critical for achieving thorough coverage and meeting industrial demands.
Importance of Compressed Air Quality
Industrial blasting operations depend on clean, dry, and cool compressed air to power equipment effectively. Untreated air can introduce moisture and heat, leading to corrosion in piping, premature equipment failure, and subpar blasting or coating results. To address these risks, air treatment solutions are essential:
- Refrigerant Dryers: Cool and dry compressed air.
- Desiccant Dryers: Remove moisture for ultra-dry air.
- Oil and Moisture Separators: Filter out contaminants.
- Aftercoolers: Reduce air temperature after compression.
