Sand blasting services Ashburton
Powerful surface preparation, on site or in shop
At Ashburton Powder Coating, we offer expert sand blasting as part of our full-service metal finishing. With a purpose-built indoor booth over 8 metres long, we can tackle everything from small parts to large industrial components, whether it's removing corrosion from classic car parts or preparing massive silos on-site, our experienced team has the tools and knowledge to get the job done right.
What is sandblasting?
Sandblasting is the process of forcefully projecting abrasive media, typically garnet, onto a surface using compressed air. Travelling at speeds of up to 400 km/h, the media strips away rust, paint, coatings, and other contaminants to reveal a clean, ready-to-finish surface.
​​This makes it an ideal pre-treatment for:
​
-
Powder coating
-
Painting
-
Galvanising
-
Structural repairs or refurbishment
​
We primarily use garnet, a fast-cutting, recyclable, and environmentally friendly abrasive. Garnet offers superior cleaning while being safe on delicate metals and complex shapes.
​
Our operators are trained to adjust blast settings based on material type, thickness and surface condition - ensuring quality results, every time.
