    Sand blasting uses compressed air to accelerate abrasive materials like sand onto surfaces to remove contaminants. Vacuum blasting uses a blast tool connected to suction hoses to simultaneously blast and collect abrasives and debris, containing the mess. Flame cleaning passes an oxyacetylene flame over steel surfaces to clean them. All three methods are used for surface preparation in industrial and construction settings.

    INTRODUCTION OF

    SAND BLASTING,
    VACCUM BLASTING AND
    FLAME CLEANING
    SAND BLASTING
    • Sand blast cleaning, is a surface treatment
    process widely used in a variety of
    different industries with many diverse
    purposes.
    • Sand blasting is the process by which an
    abrasive media is accelerated through a
    blasting nozzle by means of compressed
    air.
    SAND BLASTING CLEANSING PROCESS

    • As we are acquainted with different cleaning procedures adopted to clean


    different surfaces. Sand blasting is one of such cleansing process which makes the
    use of light particles as propellants to project it on the required surface. It makes
    use of different abrasive materials as a part of its cleaning procedure. This process
    is mainly preferred by the industries and the construction firms to get rid of the
    unwanted particles from the surface. It can be used to clean the surface, remove
    the paint, get rid of the rusts, and etch the surface to provide a shinier look.
    TOP USES OF SAND BLASTING

    • Removal of rust spots from the metal is one of the


    primary use of sand blasting.
    • Paint removal from homes and commercial offices is
    something else the sand blasting process can be used
    for.
    ADVANTAGES OF SAND BLASTING

    • Quick removal of contaminants: This process helps in quick removal of the


    deposits of the contaminants on different surfaces.
    • Less machinery involved: This process does not make use of complex
    machineries.
    • Abrasive action: The materials which are used in the projection are highly
    abrasive and have an aggressive action on the surfaces. •
    • Fit for tough surfaces like concrete: The powerful action of the process can
    remove deposits even from tough surfaces like concrete.
    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

    • It is important to be aware of the necessary safety precautions that need to be put


    into place before home or industrial sandblasting can take place. Take note of the
    following:
    • Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes;
    • Make use of protective gloves;
    • Ensure that you wear a mask to avoid inhaling the tiny particles of debris;
    • To avoid a big clean-up, wear old clothes oroveralls.
    VACCUM BLASTING
    • Vacuum blasting is an abrasive blasting
    method, also referred to as dustless blasting or
    closed loop abrasive blasting.
    • The method is characterized by a blast tool
    that does abrasive blasting and collects both
    used blast media, and loosened particles from
    the surface to be treated, simultaneously.
    PROCEDURE

    • The blast tool is equipped with a blast hose and a suction hose, that both run
    from the blast tool to a control unit.
    • The control unit supplies the blast tool with pressurized air mixed with blast
    media, and sucks back dust, loosened particles and used blast media.
    • The control unit continuously separates dust and loosened particles from the
    used blast media, and sends used blast media back into the pressurized air flow.
    • The dust and loosened particles are collected in a waste bin.
    APPLICATIONS

    • The method is typically used in areas where dust and spill from
    regular abrasive blasting is not wanted, for example due to
    HSE-considerations.
    • The blast process itself is slower than regular abrasive blasting,
    but requires less sheeting and scaffolding
    ADVANTAGES

    • A major advantage of vacuum blasting is that this dirt is


    immediately collected with this technique.
    • This saves a lot of mess and clean up after the blasting process.
    The material that is collected is sorted and can then be reused as
    blasting media.
    FLAME CLEANING

    • Flame cleaning, also known


    as flame gouging, is the
    process of cleaning a
    structural steel surface by
    passing an intensely hot
    oxyacetylene flame over it.
