Grit Blasting Options for Mangaluru

Batches of parts from Mangaluru may travel to our units and return blasted and primed, while larger work may be blasted where it stands.

The process suits castings, fabricated frames and machine bases going for primer and paint. It removes heavy mill scale, rust and foundry sand and leaves an even, profiled surface that accepts coating well.

Structures that remain in Mangaluru, such as tanks, jetty steel, chimneys and plant structures, are blasted at your site to the same ISO 8501-1 grades, using the abrasive best suited to the specification.

Mangaluru Parts Suited to Grit Blasting

Ship repair and shipbuilding

Plate sections, brackets, frames and fittings made or replaced for vessels are cleaned of mill scale and primed before they return to the yard.

Refinery and petrochemical packages

Fabricated skids, base frames and equipment bases built for process plants are blasted and primed before they are sent to site.

Fertiliser and chemical plant spares

Castings and heavy machine parts for maintenance stores are cleaned of rust and scale before painting.

Cashew and food processing machinery

Frames, hoppers and machine bases from workshops serving processing plants on the coast are blasted and painted before assembly.

How Parts Travel to Us and Return

We request the drawing or photographs, the weight and quantity, and the coating that follows. We then confirm the abrasive and the grade before the parts are dispatched. On arrival at Peenya or Dabaspet they are inspected for oil, grease and faces that must be masked, and are then blasted.

Bare blasted steel rusts quickly in humid coastal air, so parts are primed promptly and can be finish painted in our booths. Welded machine bases can be stress relieved first in the same unit. Parts are returned ready for machining, assembly or storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is grit blasting available at our site in Mangaluru?
Yes. We confirm the arrangement, and the abrasive, once we have reviewed the work and the specification.
Is it worthwhile to send parts about 350 km?
This depends on the part concerned. Batches of castings, frames and machine bases benefit most, because blasting, priming, painting and, if needed, stress relieving all take place in one unit. For a large structure standing at your site, a team can attend instead.
What information is needed before parts are dispatched?
We require the drawing or photographs, the weight and quantity, the grade needed and the coating that follows. We confirm the abrasive and the process first, and parts are inspected on arrival for oil, grease and faces to be masked.
Which blasting is used before thermal spray metallizing?
Metal spray requires a sharp, clean profile, so the abrasive is selected to suit the coating. Please indicate which coating follows, and we will confirm the abrasive and the grade.
Will blasted parts rust on the return journey to the coast?
Bare blasted steel rusts quickly in humid air, so we prime promptly after blasting, and parts leave primed or painted. We recommend that they are kept covered and dry in transit and storage, especially during the monsoon months.
