Sandblasting Without The Mess

Slurry Blasting

Dry ice blasting can’t do everything.  Some applications require a more aggressive approach.  For this reason, we are pleased to present "Slurry Blasting", otherwise known as “wet abrasive blasting”.  Calgary based Scrub Zero provides 24/7 mobile service work.

Our Slurry Blasting system allows full flexibility to accommodate changes in the surface being cleaned/blasted. In contrast to other blasting procedures, this system is adjustable at will, which allows the operator to go from heavy blasting to gentle cleaning as the surface dictates

Our system handles industrial maintenance applications such as:

  • Cleaning or removing layers of concrete
  • Removal of paint by layers, total coating removal to a specified degree of cleanliness (white metal etc.) or removal of oxidized layers from steel with ease.
  • Sensitive applications such as the petrochemical industry, where sparks or static electricity are prohibitive (by coating each particle of the blast medium with water, the system effectively eliminates this concern).

Gentle, yet thorough

Various surfaces require different forms of treatment, but the limited number of applications can be a problem with most abrasive blasting systems. Persistent stains and deposits on sensitive surfaces can be extremely aggravating.

Field experience has shown all of us that the utmost caution is necessary when working with monuments disfigured by graffiti, as well as the historical buildings ravaged by time.

With Slurry Blasting, it is guaranteed that you avoid the risk of damaging these sensitive substrates. Our wet abrasive blasting technology, with specifically developed metering valves, allows an individual adjustment to the surface - and this means safety as well as peace of mind.

This revolutionary concept ensures a significant economic savings as well. Not only can the consumption of blasting media be reduced by 60%, but also the consumption of water per area-unit drops considerably.

NO Containment Required!

Another benefit is a 95% dust reduction when using wet abrasive blasting systems. This allows minimized or no containment, and no dust collectors or negative pressure. There is also no need for air supplied hoods, which pleases the employee, as well as public perception of the work being performed.

Other Applications

Besides the industrial applications described above, Slurry Blasting is extremely effective for lead abatement, asbestos abatement, industrial and commercial projects, as well as both large and small historical renovations.
