Industrial Sandblasting

Industrial Sandblasting & Surface Restoration

PA.VE.SA. srl specializes in industrial and civil sandblasting, an essential process for deep cleaning, paint stripping, and mechanical preparation of metal, concrete, and stone surfaces. With a technologically advanced fleet of mobile machinery and certified eco-friendly abrasives, we perform operations both on-site and at our workshops.

Sandblasting is the benchmark standard for removing rust, scale, old coatings, and contaminants, returning the material to its original state and ensuring optimal adhesion for subsequent treatments.


Our Sandblasting Methodologies

  • Dry Sandblasting: Projects abrasive media using high-flow compressed air. The most common and effective method for heavy structural steel, piping, tanks, and iron structures.
  • Wet Sandblasting / Hydro-Blasting: Controlled mixing of water and abrasive. This technique cuts up to 95% of airborne dust, making it perfect for historical centers, urban environments, and confined spaces.
  • Micro-Sandblasting & Eco-Blasting: Utilizes very fine abrasives at low pressure (such as sodium bicarbonate or walnut shells) for the conservation and cleaning of wood, premium marble, and historical monuments without damaging the substrate.

Abrasive Media Selected per Substrate

Substrate Care: Each material requires a specific abrasive in terms of hardness and grain size. Our engineers carefully select the ideal combination to avoid deformation or damage to your assets.

  • Aluminum Oxide (Corundum): Ideal for hard metals, stainless steel, and creating a sharp profile for pre-painting.
  • Steel Shot / Grit: Used for heavy cleaning, rust scale removal, and shot peening of structural steel.
  • Glass Beads: Perfect for satin-finishing stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals to produce a smooth, matte finish.
  • Eco-Friendly Mineral Media: Free of free silica, allowing for safe operations that protect both health and the environment.

Main Fields of Application

  • Structural Steel & Industrial Tanks: Rust removal and surface profile preparation for high-performance protective coating cycles.
  • Civil Engineering & Restoration: Cleaning of exposed bricks, natural stone, concrete facades, and graffiti removal.
  • Wood Restoration: Safe paint stripping and restoration of historical timber beams, wooden ceilings, and facades.
  • Industrial Maintenance: Cleaning of industrial molds, heat exchangers, and processing machinery.

Safety and Environmental Care

Our company operates in strict compliance with safety regulations and environmental directives. We use exclusively approved, non-toxic abrasives accompanied by official safety data sheets. Furthermore, we employ advanced containment and extraction systems to protect our operators and guarantee a clean work environment.
