A Refreshing Alternative for Cleaning Railcar Surfaces

摘要

When it comes to preparing railcars for painting or specialized coatings, wet abrasive blast technology helps to improve and refresh aesthetics as well as maximize the usable lifespan of the car itself. This advanced surface preparation solution offers several advantages over traditional dry-blasting methods. With a blasting range of 30 to 130 psi, wet media blasters utilize crushed glass and other types of blasting media to clean surfaces quickly and under any weather conditions. This environmentally sustainable alternative minimizes airborne particles, resulting in up to 95% dust reduction and requiring less containment, which eases compliance with OSHA's silica exposure standards and other local restrictions. It also conserves resources by using less than a pint of water per minute and drastically decreases media consumption-sometimes up to 75%.
