The Brilliant Sponge Blaster is proudly designed and built in South Africa by an experienced team of mechanical engineers and artisans, with due consideration of the harsh working environment in Africa.
Sponge media contains different sizes and grades of abrasives for use on various surfaces.
The blasting machine is a fully pneumatical operating system, fitted with an air motor oil lubricator to lubricate the entire pneumatic system.
Regulating and adjustability specifications: The machine’s air motor is fitted to a gearbox to enhance the performance and efficiency of regulating the sponge media.
The machine is fitted with an air regulator, sponge feeder regulator and emergency e-stop. The two regulators and emergency stop make the machine safer and very easy to adjust and to monitor the blasting pressure and sponge feeding rate.
By controlling the blasting air pressure and sponge feeding pressure, one can control the efficiency and blasting quality.
The sponge-blasting tank capacity is 200ℓ.
The sponge-blasting machine is designed and fitted with rear wheels to make it mobile and easy to move around working areas.
Minimum air requirements: 11.35 m3/minute (400 cfm) at 7 bar (100 psi)
The sponge-blasting machine is originally supplied with a 30 m blasting hose, blasting nozzle and blasting gun. All blasting guns are fitted with a safety trigger that operates as a deadman switch. Blasting hoses can be extended to meet any customer requirements
The Brilliant Sponge Regrader is proudly designed and built in South Africa by an experienced team of mechanical engineers and artisans, taking cognizance of the harsh working environment in Africa.
Regrading capacity: The Brilliant Sponge Regrader delivers up to 600 kg per hour of high-quality, regraded sponge media.
The Brilliant Sponge Regrader is specifically designed to regrade various grades of abrasive sponge media.
The Brilliant Sponge Regrader is fitted with a 3-level filtering system: large debris, reusable sponge, and fine dust.
The Brilliant Sponge Re-grader has a proven feeding action of sponge media, and the sponge does not flow over intermittent levels of the re-grader.
– The sponge media pass over a distance of at least 10 cm of vibrating grid before being fed out of the exit chute of the re-grader. This delivers a high quality re-graded sponge media.
Electrical specifications: The sponge regrader operates with a 0,18 kW (220-240 V – 50 Hz) electrical vibrating motor.
All Brilliant Sponge Regrader machines are designed and fitted with front and rear wheels to make them mobile and easy to move around working areas

It’s the application of surface covering: preserving, protecting and functionally enhancing untreated and treated surfaces and structures including all required pretreatments. Industrial paint has two purposes:
Industrial painting considerably extends the life of objects and buildings. It contributes to the reliability, safety and availability of the painted surface and serves sustainability and the environment in general. Preparation is usually the key to long lasting applications. The process tends to be easier if paint was not applied previously, otherwise a removal of the existing coat is required, making use of sand, sponge or dry ice blasting.
Industrial paint can be used to protect metal, wood, and a variety of other materials and surfaces. Various characteristics depend on the ingredients of the paint and the performance specifications of the selected application. Application methods can also influence the quality of the paint coverage and determine how well paint will stick to the surface.
Industrial paint can be applied to various structures that can be aggressively cleaned. It is essential to blast before painting, because the removal of all rust is of supreme importance in providing a long-term corrosion resistance system.
Various paint systems may be used, including inorganic and organic zinc-rich primers and zinc phosphates, epoxies, epoxy tars, alkyds, acrylics, vinyl, enamels and polyurethanes.
Painting is done under cover to ensure that the blasted surface does not rust before painting. Blasted surfaces can begin to rust or become contaminated within 4 hours.
When surface preparation and painting is done outside, the clean steel starts to rust immediately, especially if humidity levels are high.
Therefore painting needs to be done immediately after surface preparation in order for it to be successful and long lasting.
The overall quality of painting under cover is better due to less interference from the wind, dust, rain and general contamination from the environment. This ensures that the required thickness is accomplished within the necessary time span and that the paint dries without accumulation of dirt and dust in the coating.
