What is Dustless Blasting?

Champney Dustless Blasting  is the fastest, most cost-effective mobile surface preparation option in Central Virginia. Champney Dustless Blasting can quickly remove virtually any type of coating from any material leaving it clean and sealer, paint, or stain ready without creating heat or a dust plume. 

The Dustless Blaster works by mixing water and abrasive inside the blast tank. By introducing water we’re drastically increasing mass and energy the machine is putting out, while eliminating dust. 

Imagine throwing a handful of dry sand, versus throwing a handful of wet sand; which one is going to have a more significant impact on the target? Not only will the wet sand hit the target harder, but it won’t disintegrate and become a cloud of dust like the dry sand will. This is the very simple principle behind Dustless Blasting. 

The Dustless Blasting system has the following advantages over the old, outdated dry blasting method:

Faster  ­  The Dustless Blaster can strip a car in under 2 hours.

Minimal Dust  ­  The abrasive gets trapped in water and grounded, eliminating the plume of dust.

Lower Abrasive Consumption  ­  The Dustless Blaster uses less media to do more work.

Abrasive Flexibility  ­  The Dustless Blaster can use almost any abrasive that sinks in water.

No Warping  ­  The water prevents friction and won’t warp thin metal like sandblasting will.

Less Containment Needed  ­  In most cases, expensive, time consuming containment not required.

Doesn’t Affect Nearby Workers  ­  Never sacrifice productivity, other workers can work nearby unaffected.

Leaves a Paint Ready Surface  ­ The rust inhibitor decontaminates the metal leaving a clean, chloride free paint ready surface.
