Steel and Metal Shot Blasting – Perfect Surface Preparation

Shot blasting is a key method of surface preparation before painting, guaranteeing the durability and aesthetics of the final coating. At ENIX Kraków, we specialise in the professional cleaning of various steel components: from thick sheets and welded structures to rims from which paint has been previously removed. Our technology ensures a perfectly prepared surface, ready for further processing stages.

Why is Shot Blasting Necessary Before Painting?

• Effective contamination removal: The shot blasting process effectively removes oxides, rust, and residues of previous coatings, ensuring a clean and uniform base.
• Optimal roughness: It gives the surface the appropriate roughness, which significantly increases the adhesion of paints and varnishes. This is key to a long-lasting coating without chipping or cracking.
• Increased corrosion resistance: Removing all contamination and oxides before applying the protective coating minimizes the risk of under-coating corrosion.

Our Technology – Precision and Efficiency

At ENIX, we use an advanced abrasive blasting machine that operates automatically for a set time.

• Thorough cleaning: Processed components are rotated and moved deep into the chamber, which guarantees thorough cleaning of every surface, even those difficult to reach.
• Powerful impact force: Three turbines, each powered by a 7.5 kW motor, give the shot particles immense kinetic energy. Thanks to this, contaminants are thoroughly removed upon the shot’s impact with the cleaned surface.
