Safety Tips for Operators of Automated Blasting Equipment
-
Only use the touch pendant on HMI Screens. Wipe it down with disinfectant for the next worker.
-
Use only disinfectant wipes on our HMI, CNC, and robotic screens - as recommended by Allen-Bradley and others (check your manual first).
-
Use glass cleaner and Lysol for the view windows, handles, controls, and all user interfaces and touch surfaces – including the front of the cabinet where the operator may lean against.
-
Handle cleaned parts with clean gloves.

Practical tips, practices, and products
for the wellbeing of blast prep workers.
Did you know:
Blasting fast gets workers off the blast process quickly - that's obvious - but it also reduces their time in closed spaces - like partitioned blasting areas - which is definitely healthier overall.
You may NOT need to automate to speed your blast prep operations ...with simple and often very inexpensive upgrades, we sometimes more than triple production using the same energy input and media.
Automated blasting comes in all sort of styles. From tumble baskets to conveyors, indexers, batch processes to robotics, there's probably a better way to process your parts.
We can replicate most with a demo of your parts to prove the process before you commit.
Automated blasting saves my customers tens of thousands of hours each year
- and distances workers, for contactless blasting and safety.
