Abrasive Media for Sandblasting Food Processing Equipment

In the food processing industry, maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of equipment is crucial for the safety and quality of the products. Sandblasting offers a powerful solution for removing contaminants, coatings and residues from food processing.

However, traditional sandblasting abrasives are unsuitable for such sensitive applications. 10X Engineered Materials provides superoxalloy abrasives that deliver superior performance, making them an excellent choice for cleaning food processing equipment.

Why Use Superoxalloy Abrasives to Clean Food Processing Equipment?

Cleaning food processing machinery demands a high level of precision and safety, and the choice of abrasive plays a crucial role in achieving the desired surface quality. Our superoxalloy abrasives are engineered to meet these exacting standards, making them an ideal solution for cleaning or profiling food processing equipment.

Superior Surface Quality

The molecular structure of 10X superoxalloy abrasives is uniquely engineered to resist breakage under high-pressure applications. Unlike traditional abrasives, which can shatter and embed particles into the blasting surface, superoxalloy abrasives maintain their integrity, significantly reducing the risk of particle embedment in food processing equipment blasting. This leads to a cleaner, higher-quality finish that is immediately ready for further processing or use.

Safety and Environmental Compliance

10X superoxalloy abrasives are designed with safety and environmental stewardship in mind. They are certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and meet the stringent standards of the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) for clean abrasive media. This makes them a safer choice for both workers and the environment, especially in food processing equipment cleaning applications.

Low Dust Production 

During the blasting process, 10X superoxalloy abrasives produce minimal dust, reducing airborne particulates and creating a clearer and safer work environment. This is particularly crucial in food processing, where contamination control is vital. The low dust production also contributes to a more efficient and effective cleaning and blasting process.

Biosolubility and Worker Health

Regarding the safety of sandblasting food equipment, 10X superoxalloy abrasives provide a definitive solution. The material is biosoluble in the lungs, and this means they do not pose long-term health risks to workers. This characteristic, combined with their low dust production, makes these abrasives an exceptionally safe choice for cleaning equipment that comes into contact with food.
