WHAT WE OFFER

Our Blasting Capabilities

CrainCo handles projects of all sizes, from small precision components to large structural assemblies, with the flexibility to meet diverse needs. Our controlled blasting environments ensure consistent results, operator safety, and proper containment of materials and contaminants.

With variable-pressure systems, we adjust blast intensity based on material type, thickness, and desired finish—making it possible to treat delicate components with care while delivering aggressive cleaning for heavy structural steel.

Abrasive Media Selection

Different applications benefit from specific abrasive media types. Our inventory includes various options selected based on material composition, surface profile requirements, contamination type, and subsequent finishing processes.

  • Common Media Types Include
  • Steel grit for aggressive cleaning and profiling
  • Steel shot for peening and surface conditioning
  • Aluminum oxide for precision work
  • Stainless steel applications
  • Glass bead for decorative finishing and peening
  • Specialty media for unique requirements

Our experienced operators select appropriate media based on project specifications, ensuring optimal results without excessive material removal or surface damage.

INDUSTRIES & USE CASES

Applications and Benefits

Blasting is essential across fabrication processes. It removes contaminants and creates the proper surface profile for paint and powder-coat adhesion, improving coating durability and reducing maintenance.

It also prepares materials for cleaner, stronger welds by removing mill scale and impurities. In restoration work, blasting removes rust and corrosion to extend the life of existing components and restore reusable materials.

Beyond performance benefits, blasting creates a clean, uniform finish—and in some cases, the blasted surface serves as the final industrial look.

Quality and Environmental Responsibility

CrainCo maintains strict quality control throughout the blasting process, monitoring surface cleanliness, profile depth, and consistency to ensure all specifications are met. We also document preparation standards when required for compliance and quality assurance.

Our operations are guided by environmental responsibility. Dust collection systems protect air quality, while proper handling of abrasive media ensures safe, compliant working conditions—delivering high-quality results without compromise.

Integration With Other Services

Blasting integrates seamlessly with our comprehensive fabrication services. Components can flow directly from blasting to painting or powder-coating operations, minimizing handling and reducing the risk of contamination. This integrated approach shortens project timelines while maintaining quality control throughout the process.
