Lampugnani offers a complete range of materials for sandblasting and shot blasting machines: glass beads, ceramic beads, red-brown corundum, white corundum, metal shot and plastic granules, available in different grain sizes. Each abrasive has specific characteristics in terms of hardness, shape, removal capacity and achievable finish. Choosing the most suitable material allows for a variety of processes, from cleaning and oxide removal to surface preparation, deburring, and the aesthetic finishing of components. Main process Glass microspheres Shot blasting Cleaning and satin aesthetic finish 3D printing, aluminum, molds, aeronautical components and engines Ceramic microspheres Shot blasting Uniform and satin aesthetic finish Automotive, aerospace, medical prosthetics, stainless steel and high-quality finishes Spherical metal grit Shot blasting Cleaning and surface finishing Metal components, steel, castings and textured surface finishes Red-brown corundum Sandblasting Abrasion, cleaning and surface preparation Metalwork, rust, paint and scale removal, painting preparation and restoration White corundum Sandblasting High purity abrasion Medical, food, glass, goldsmith sectors and processes where high purity of the abrasive is required Plastic granules Gentle sandblasting Low-aggressive paint stripping and cleaning Mold cleaning, aeronautical industry, delicate components and restoration Red-brown corundum is an abrasive with high hardness and removal capacity, suitable for sandblasting treatments that require effective abrasive action. It is used to remove rust, paint, oxidation, and residue, creating a uniform roughness. It is used in metalwork, in preparing surfaces for painting or other coatings, and in woodworking. Aluminum oxide is an extremely effective and sharp abrasive, free of iron particles, suitable for the medical and food industries and for processing materials such as polycarbonate and glass. Its action allows for different levels of roughness and surface finishes, which vary depending on the grain size used and the sandblasting parameters. Ideal for cleaning and finishing thermoplastic materials, they are used in numerous industrial applications, particularly in the aerospace, molding, and plastics processing sectors. They remove processing residues, paint, and surface contaminants while preserving the geometry and characteristics of the components. Glass microspheres are ideal for cleaning and finishing mechanical parts without altering their dimensions or compromising the surface geometry. Their action removes oxidation, residue, and surface contamination, achieving a uniform, satin, and brilliant finish. Ceramic microspheres are harder and more wear-resistant than glass microspheres, ensuring longer life and a consistent finish over time. They are particularly suitable for shot blasting processes that require high repeatability and surface uniformity, even in intensive processes or on large surfaces. Spherical metal shot is used in shot blasting processes to achieve uniform and homogeneous surfaces and for deburring metal components. Available in various grain sizes, it is chosen based on the material being treated and the desired surface finish.
