Cost cutting

• personnel required for cleaning
• materials required in the form of cleaning media and blasting shot
• shortened throughput times due to the elimination or reduction of cleaning steps
• less re-working due to improved process reliabilityt
• lower risk of complaints due to improved quality assurance
• no initial investment required

The long-standing challenge of dealing with oil and grease during the blasting process—previously a task requiring significant effort—can now be addressed much more simply and efficiently by incorporating PantaTec technology into the blasting operation. This represents an exceptionally straightforward yet highly effective improvement for blasting processes. Given the potential for cost savings and quality enhancements, this additive-based method serves as an attractive alternative—or a valuable supplement—to traditional wet-chemical cleaning processes used in conjunction with blasting. In many cases, it also opens up the possibility of integrating a cleaning step into the surface treatment process where none existed before.
