The pliant nature of Sponge Media abrasives allow its particles to flatten on impact (fig. 1), exposing the abrasive. After leaving the surface, the media expands, creating a vacuum – entrapping most of what would normally have become airborne contaminants (fig. 2). This is referred to as Sponge Media’s MicroContainment.™

1. Sponge Media abrasives are available in over 20 types for any application. All provide dry, low dust, low rebound blasting.

2. Sponge-Jet Feed Units propel Sponge Media abrasives to the surface. A centralized panel provides adjustment of blast pressure and media feed rate allowing for precise control.

3. Sponge Media (shown 3X actual size) traps contaminants upon impact.

4. Sponge-Jet Recyclers classify and clean Sponge Media abrasive for reuse. Blasted media is collected and processed through an electrically or pneumatically powered classifier – separating reusable Sponge Media abrasives from oversized debris, and fine waste (spent media and contaminants).

5. Up to 95% of Sponge Media is recycled for reuse.
