Blast media (granules) for vacuum blasting

To operate the Tornado ACS cleaning machine blast media (granules) for vacuum blasting is needed. The granules differ in size and hardness. We offer as a matter of principle only high quality granules to our costumers, since those can be used approx. 100 times in a cycle. From our granulate application chart you can acknowledge which granulate is most suitable for the to-be-cleaned surface. To each granulate you can also find all relevant information on a data sheet. 

Nutshell NS 450 consists of grinded wallnutshell with a grain size of 0,2 - 0,45 mm. This granulate is mostly used for polished surfaces, as marble or granite. The nutshell granulate can also be used on glass but a thoroughly cleanup of the machine is required, since residues of other granules can scratch the glass. (data sheet)
