How It Works

Sponge-Jet Feed Units
Pressurized Feed Units propel Sponge Media abrasives to the surface. A centralized control panel provides adjustment of blast pressure and media feed rate allowing for precise control.
5% Waste Sponge Media

1. Sponge Media propelled at the surface.

2. Sponge particle flattens on impact. Cleans or abrades the surface.

3. Sponge cells expand, creating vacuum – entrapping dust and debris.

Sponge Media Abrasives
Over 25 different types of Sponge Media are available. Each with different abrasives or cleaning agents bonded in the Sponge.
1 Impact - Abrasive Profiling
Sponge media flattens on impact, exposing abrasive, cleaning, abrading and profiling the surface.

2 Expansion - Suction
Sponge cells expand, creating vacuum – pulling in debris.

3 Containment - Rebound
Media traps hazardous particles that would have become airborne and rebound with low energy; making cleanup and containment easy.

Sponge-Jet Recyclers
Recyclers clean and classify Sponge Media for reuse, separating media from oversized debris, and fine waste.
Recycling Technology

Oversized Waste
Removes FOD (Foreign Object Debris) such as nuts and bolts.
Up to 95% recycled
Sponge Media is efficiently recycled on site for immediate reuse thus minimizing time and cost associated with material handling, waste disposal.

Fine Waste
Dust, broken down paint, rust and hazardous contaminants are separated from the Sponge Media.
Sustainable, Safe, Environmentally Responsible Surface Preparation
One system and a range of media to replace other cleaning and surface preparation technologies while providing superior results. Protect what is important: People, Profits, Assets, Schedules, the Environment – every aspect of your operation is enhanced.

  • Why NASA's VIF Fan Rooms Needed Sponge Blasting

    Abrasive blasting is often a dusty process. When contractors are required to blast near highly sensitive equipment or in areas where air quality is very important, they often need to sacrifice superior surface prep methods or erect extreme containment. At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida one contractor was tasked with this difficult challenge - providing the highest quality surface prep and low dust blasting with Sponge Media.

  • Protecting Filter Gallery Pipes for Water Treatment Plant

    When rust, corrosion and coating system failure became apparent on pipes in the filter galleries of the Lafayette Utilities Systems (LUS) water treatment plant, a rehabilitation plan was developed. One of the most important aspects of this plan was to prepare the carbon steel surfaces and create the proper anchor profile for the new coating system. Depending on the severity of the rust and corrosion on various pipe sections, the specifications called for either near white metal blast cleaning or commercial blast cleaning.
