what is sponge blasting?

Sponge-Jet Feed Unit™

Sponge-Jet Feed Unit™ propels Sponge Media™ to the surface in compressed air that is controlled through variable blast pressure and media feed rate

Nuclear

facility maintenance

oil and gas

water and waste water

Sponge Media™

A range of Sponge Media™ is available with different micro-abrasive content.

Recycling

Up to 95% of Sponge Media is recycled and reused.

Sponge-Jet Recyclers™

Blasted media is collected and processed, separating reusable media from debris and waste.

Industries using sponge-jet

chemical and petrochemical

Sponge Media™

Sponge Media flattens on impact, exposing abrasive, low rebound, removal and preparation of surface.

What Our Clients Say

  • "When you find yourself in a situation where you need to do blasting but need to control the dust and are concerned about safety and the environment, it's useful to know there's machinery that can do the job."

    - Branch Manager, Brisk Waterproofing Co.

  • "No more back breaking labor loading the buckets with grit and loading into the blaster. My back has never been happier”

    — Boat Painter, US Coast Guard -Don Holcomb, US Coast Guard C30


  • "Sponge-Jet Blast Media absorbs the contamination without re-depositing it on the material or the floor and walls of our containment structure, not to mention all of our breathing air samples have been 'clean' to this point."

    - Dave Jordan, Materials Engineering Technician, Westinghouse Electrical Company


  • "This technology requires less logistics (preparation) than other alternative technologies commonly used in the oil industry for surface preparation jobs (e.g. hydro-blasting, wet-blasting and sandblasting)."

    - Nelson E. Rodriquez G, Ecopetrol S.A.

  • "Dust produced by the process is near zero. The spent media doesn't travel very far from the point of impact, so it can be easily cleaned up. The sponge media is reusable, and we are successfully using it several times over."

    - Pete Judt, Department Head, Todd Pacific Shipyards

  • "Sponge-Jet is a much cleaner process for the interior repair and prep of our rail cars. The greatly reduced dust levels and easy cleanup has been a great benefit. The cost is slightly higher than conventional media but the ability to recycle and other benefits far outweigh the initial cost."

    - Billy Jones, Procurement & Operations, Trinity Rail
