Shot and tumble blasting
We blast off sand, scale, and residue and prepare parts for their next operation. We review geometry, handling, and the surface you need before quoting.
How the work runs
Shot and tumble blasting strip scale, sand, and residue off metal parts and leave a consistent surface, usually before coating, plating, or inspection.
What WGS does
Casting cleaning
Removing sand, scale, and residue from castings to the agreed surface condition.
Surface preparation before coating
Surfaces prepared for the next operation. Send the coating-prep spec if there is one.
Batch and part handling
Tumble blasting tumbles parts through the blast stream. Tell us about delicate features or handling limits so we can choose the right process.
Blasting in line with the rest of the work
Ask about combining finishing, inspection, or packaging with blasting in one job.
