Corrosion Control
ABRASIVE blasting for of surface preparation is a key step in the production process for many companies.
This process is often outsourced for many reasons, but the team at Protoblast know that the cost of outsourcing can be very misleading.
What is not taken into consideration in costing is downtime, logistics, and the loss of control over a project.
Protoblast has had more than 40 years’ experience in the industry, and its customers need abrasive blasting for many different products – from roofing screws through to the largest mining machinery – and everything in-between.
Protoblast management listened to its experienced team, all who echoed a common thread in how they would improve the operation: “I need to have more control over the blasting process.”
The only way to do that was to bring it in-house.
In regards to the cost of sending a product to a contractor to be blasted, Protoblast has frequently noticed that the other hidden costs are often overlooked.
Case studies have shown that the logistics alone are more often than not equal or greater in cost than the contractors invoice.
That is not taking into account the downtime if the weather is not favourable, or if there is a backlog at the contractors.
The team at Protoblast has perfected the process of working with customers, whether they are needing to blast door handles or surfboards, mining machinery or structural steel to provide a solution that will not only save them money but speed up the overall process and give the customer control over the process from start to finish.
