Shot Blasters

Shot Blasters for Sale

Shot blasters are widely used in surface preparation due to their ability to rapidly and efficiently remove coatings and embedded debris from metal and concrete surfaces. These are incredibly versatile to use on concrete because they are able to profile, clean, and strip surfaces, often in one step, saving a work crew time and lowering the cost of the task.

What Is Shot Blasting?

The majority of shot blasters use a straightforward wheel equipped with paddle-like blades that rapidly propel steel shot (small pellets that look like BBs) at the surface at an extremely high velocity using centrifugal force. The leftover dust is confined in a protected and enclosed dust collector, and any reusable leftovers are recirculated and dispersed.

Depending on the size of the shot used, the speed at which you operate the blaster, and the surface, shot blasters can be used for the following tasks:

• Removing paint, rust, and epoxy coatings
• Adding a rough profile to concrete for non-slip surface
• Preparing a concrete surface to add fresh paint or a coating

Shot blasters are not recommended for thick, rubber coatings or to remove hardwood flooring or carpet, but otherwise can be used for nearly any large surface preparation task!
