Sandblasting technology allows you to remove various particles from the surface of the material, so you can quickly prepare it for painting. This equipment is very serious - it is necessary to understand the principle of its operation, application and rules of use.
Principle of operation
Sandblasting equipment is specialized equipment used in the construction industry and for processing pipes. The principle of operation of sandblasting technology is based on the flow of air with sand, which comes from the nozzle at high speed. Getting into the molecular lattice of a substance, grains of sand destroy it, and then are removed from the outside of the device. This equipment is a technically complex device consisting of different materials, for example, ceramics, glass, plastic, and so on.
Application
The main purpose of sandblasting technology is to remove old paint and other coatings from the surface. Removing paint and varnish in this way helps to remove unwanted particles from the front side without much effort. Since the device is quite efficient, it is used when painting cars at service stations. In addition, the equipment can be used for grinding or rust removal, in the metallurgical industry, in the secondary market for pipe products, in the construction of low-rise buildings, in mechanical engineering.
Terms of use
Sandblasting technology requires increased attention, since high pressure is used during the work. If the manufacturing technology of the device is violated or the material is selected incorrectly, workers may suffer. In order to avoid unforeseen situations, you must follow the safety rules.
For example, in the process of sandblasting, you must use a respirator and goggles. Care must be taken to avoid kinking the hose, crossing or twisting the cables. Before starting work, check the integrity of all air hoses and the condition of the unit itself.
The sandblaster should not be subject to shock or unattended, and it is important to keep it clean. The equipment can only be switched on after it has been put into working position. You cannot work with him from ladders. These conditions apply regardless of the type of device. The specific operating rules are described in the instructions that come with any device. It is necessary to follow each of its points.
If the device detects defects that pose a danger to the life and health of people, as well as to the integrity of the equipment, you should immediately stop work and disconnect the electrical equipment from the mains. It is impossible to fix the breakdown on your own without the right to do this, a specialist should do this
