Abrasive Blasting

-

PROTOBLAST is a family owned and operated Australian business that has been serving the abrasive blasting industry for more than 40 years.

While the company has a standard range of products, its forte is providing the customer with a facility that is custom designed to produce maximum efficiency for the product that uses the process.

The standard range included dust collectors that can be used to provide ventilatio­n to existing blasting facility and the well-known and respected Protoblast Abrasive Recovery and Recycling system.

The Recovery system is one of Protoblast’s advantages in the market as it is the most efficient to operate in power consumptio­n, wear and tear and maintenanc­e.

The company’s current focus was providing a system that is easily portable.

The standard shipping container is a great option; Protoblast has developed this system to reduce set up and dismantlin­g time and everything fits into the container for ease of transport.

From a single dust collector through to a turnkey large blast chamber installati­on, or from robotic blasting facilities to airless blast machines, Protoblast can provide the solution.

The company’s experience in providing equipment to surfboard manufactur­ing, torpedo launch tubes, building screws, mining dump trucks, turbines, gas cylinders, piping and more, means it has endless resources to draw from.

The team at Protoblast look forward to every new challenge and will not turn down an opportunit­y.

In fact, Protoblast has just completed an automated blast machine for blasting 9kg gas bottles at a bottle swap plant in New Zealand.

This machine had to comply to Zone 1 hazardous area regulation­s.

This proved to be a challenge as blasting itself causes sparks, but the team came up with a bespoke ventilatio­n system that would prevent the concentrat­ion of gas from reaching a level that would be dangerous.

Protoblast has supplied equipment all over Australia and New Zealand as well as into Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the US and the Middle East.
