The world’s only hand power tools that can “sandblast”. The patented technology removes corrosion and coatings quickly and thoroughly. Bristle blaster is a great alternative to sandblasting. At the same time, the Bristle Blaster^® and MBX^® create surface preparation grades comparable with Sa2½ (SSPC-SP 10/NACE No. 2) to Sa3 (SSPC-SP 5/NACE No. 1) and roughness levels of up to 120 µm Rz.
The patented Bristle Blaster^® is the first hand-held brush belt system in the world that produces a quality of surface roughness and a result comparable to that achieved by ‘sandblasting’. The Bristle Blasting process is a new innovation that both removes corrosion and generates an anchor profile by using a specially designed rotary bristle tool. This tool consists of wire bristle tips that are bent forward and dynamically tuned to a hand-held power tool which operates at approximately 2,500 rpm.
Bristle tips are designed to strike the corroded surface with kinetic energy that is equivalent to standard processes that use grit blast media. Immediately after the bristle tips strike the corroded steel surface, they retract (i.e., “rebound”) from the surface, which results in both corrosion removal and a micro-indentation that exposes fresh surface. Consequently, surfaces that have been treated by the Bristle Blasting tool have a texture and visual cleanliness that mimics those obtained by traditional grit blasting processes.
The different power tools of MontiPower^® are a phenomenal breakthrough when it comes to ‘blasting without grit‘. The patented characteristics of the Bristle Blaster^® and the MBX^® formed the basis of new surface preparation product ranges
