What's the Difference?

What Makes Pro Clean & Blast Unique?

It's the System!

Three Key Areas:

Lower blasting pressure
Lower water usage
Lower media consumption

Traditional sandblasting has been around for many years and it works. However, problems involving operator safety, environmental impact and media containment/consumption have paved the way for new technologies such as wet abrasive systems. Wet abrasive blasting is much safer to operate, uses less media, is easier on the environment yet is as effective as traditional sandblasting.

The functional difference is the addition of water into the blasting profile.

Traditional Dry Blasting - Equipment Required Traditional Pressure Washing Equipment Pro Clean & Blast Equipment

	Dry Blasting	Pressure Washing	Pro Clean & Blast
Blasting Pressure	Typically 130 to 175 psi	3,000 to 4,000 psi or greater	30 to 120 psi
Media Consumption	2 to 3 tons per 8 hours (4,000 to 6,000 lbs)	2,000 to 2,800 gallons per 8 hours	400 lbs dry media per 8 hours 100 gallons water per 8 hours
Media Type	Various	Water	Various
Comments	Dust from dry blasting creates the need for respiratory equipment. Requires extensive "used media" management and disposal	Storm Drain Water Runoff management required. *Violations of the Storm Drain Water no-discharge rules can be classed as misdemeanors and (in San Diego) are subject to fines of up to $10,000 per day per violation, up to a maximum of $100,000 for any related series of violations.	When combined with the dry media, the water acts as a dust suppressant eliminating the need for respiratory equipment. No water runoff. The dry media absorbs most of the water leaving a moist residue. After the residues dries, it is able to be swept or vacuumed up.
