- High performance: pressure up to 8–10 bar, ideal for large surfaces and hard materials.
- Consistent abrasive flow: for a uniform result.
- Advanced safety systems: valves, remote controls, dust filters, PPE.
- Structural strength: reinforced steel or resistant composite materials.
- Versatility: compatible with corundum, garnet, glass, baking soda, dry ice.
Ideal for:
- Body shops and mechanical workshops
- Construction and restoration sites
- Shipbuilding
- Industrial and maintenance sectors
- Cryogenic cleaning and delicate surfaces
