Biastrac's portable (pie I) blast machines prepare, texture and clean floor surfaces.
Dry metallic abrasive is applied to the ground surt:tce at high velocity. On impact the shot scours the surface and rebounds, allowing the contaminant to be removed, before being recycled. This leaves the surface dry, clean tittil dust free. By varying the size, type and quantity of the abrasive, various texmred finishes can be obtained.
