GRITTAL® ADVANTAGES
Blast Media Cost Savings:
-  50-85% savings due to less consumption

Stable blasting operation:
-  slow abrasive breakdown
-  consistent surface finish or roughness profile
-  work mix easy to maintain

Virtually Dust Free:
-  lower disposal cost (very important if contaminated)
-  improved workplace environment
-  vastly improved visibility in blast room
-  shorter blast times and less rework
-  less dust, less wear and tear

Additional Cost Savings:
-  at least 50% savings related to lower nozzle,
    hose and filter consumption
-  reduced downtime/cost related to maintenance of blast
     system wear components
-  lower dust disposal cost

Non-Ferrous Media & Corrosion Resistant in use:
-  bright surface finish
-  suitable for use in slurry blast systems

Suitable for use in Centrifugal Wheel Machines:
-  lowest per unit blasting cost and high performance

Potential for Dust Recycling:
-  recover a small amount of the media cost
