Sandblasting and shot blasting machines for the biomedical industry

In the medical and biomedical sectors, sandblasting and shot blasting are used to obtain uniform aesthetic finishes or to modify the surface roughness of components.

The use of microspheres or abrasive products allows you to obtain the desired surface appearance or to create an anchoring profile suitable for subsequent treatments and coatings.

What is the purpose of a sandblaster in the medical sector?

In the medical sector, sandblasting and shot blasting allow for different surface finishes to be obtained depending on the required result.

Shot blasting with microspheres is recommended for obtaining uniform and homogeneous aesthetic surfaces, while sandblasting with abrasive products allows for the creation of a surface roughness, ideal when it is necessary to facilitate the anchoring of subsequent treatments or coatings.

Lampugnani Sabbiatrici produces exclusively manual booths and systems with rotating baskets.

To identify the most suitable treatment, abrasive, and finish, we recommend carrying out tests directly on the components in our LAMPO-LAB, our in-house testing laboratory.

AISI 304 stainless steel

For the medical sector, Lampugnani offers standard sandblasting and shot blasting cabinets or, upon request, made of AISI 304 stainless steel, ideal for aesthetic finishing processes or for creating surface roughness.

Venturi sandblasters

Stainless steel structures

Upon request, we produce AISI 304 stainless steel cabinets, suitable when it is important to reduce the risk of contamination during sandblasting or shot blasting.

Dust filtration

Use of high-efficiency filters to recover and purify abrasives, maintaining a healthy working environment.

Manufacturing quality

Cabins made with quality industrial components, designed to last over time and with direct assistance from Lampugnani Sabbiatrici.

The Lampugnani solution: precision and finishing

For over 50 years, Lampugnani Sabbiatrici has been developing solutions for achieving uniform and controlled surface finishes, also suitable for the medical and biomedical sectors.

Manual booths are suitable for complex components, parts made using additive manufacturing, and geometries that require targeted treatment, while automatic rotating basket systems are ideal for small components machined in bulk.

The use of glass or ceramic microspheres and abrasives such as corundum allows for obtaining uniform aesthetic finishes or different levels of surface roughness .

Main applications

Orthopedic Prosthetics: Treatment of hip, knee, and spinal implants to optimize biological anchorage.

Dental implants: Sandblasting to improve the contact surface of the implant with the bone tissue.

Surgical Instrumentation: Anti-reflection finishing and micro-burr removal for precision instruments (scalpels, forceps, retractors).

Laboratory Components: Cleaning and finishing of stainless steel containers, valves and components for analysis machinery.

3D Printing Post-processing: Removal of residual powders and surface smoothing on medical components made of titanium or special alloys through additive manufacturing.
