Blasting to ensure the right foundation

Blasting is a key process in industrial manufacturing when metal surfaces need to be cleaned and prepared for painting or other surface treatment. To achieve long service life and consistent quality, the surface must be free from rust, dirt, paint residues and coatings. Proper blasting creates exactly these conditions.

At Bergs Mekaniska, blasting is used as an integrated part of the production process. By adapting the process to the material, the size of the component and the end requirements, we ensure that the subsequent surface treatment achieves the best possible adhesion and durability.

What does blasting involve?

Blasting means mechanically treating the surface to remove unwanted layers while also creating a controlled surface profile. This profile is crucial for how well paint, lacquer or other surface treatments adhere and withstand stress over time.

In industrial environments where components are exposed to moisture, wear or chemical impact, blasting is often a requirement rather than a choice. A correctly blasted surface reduces the risk of early damage and contributes to an even, professional finish.

When is blasting used?

Blasting is used in many different contexts within industry and construction, especially when quality and service life are critical. Common applications include:

  • pre-treatment before painting or lacquering

  • cleaning components that are to be surface-treated

  • refurbishment of older or rust-affected components

  • preparation of components for use in demanding environments

 

By adapting the blasting grade to the intended application, the surface can be optimised for both function and appearance.

Blasting tailored to your needs

Every component has its own requirements depending on the material, dimensions and final use. That is why we always adapt the blasting process to the specific needs of each project. Whether it concerns smaller components or larger steel parts, we ensure that the surface meets the requirements for the next stage of production.

Questions and answers about blasting

Here you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about blasting at Bergs Mekaniska.

Blasting is used to clean and prepare metal surfaces before painting, lacquering or other surface treatment.

Blasting creates a clean, textured surface that allows paint to adhere better and last longer.

Blasting is carried out mainly on steel and other metals that are to be surface-treated or used in demanding environments.

Yes, blasting is a highly effective method for removing rust, paint residues and coatings.

Yes, the right blasting process reduces the risk of corrosion and contributes to a more durable surface treatment.

No, blasting can be carried out on both small and large components, depending on the requirements.

In some cases, blasting can provide an even technical surface finish, but it is most often used as a pre-treatment.

When components are to be surface-treated or used in environments where durability, quality and service life are critical.
