Buying shot blasting machines? What characterises a good machine?
Shot blasting is a proven method for removing irregularities, dirt or a coating from concrete substrates and other surfaces with high precision. When choosing a suitable machine, it is worth paying attention to the following quality features:
Precision and quality of processing:
To ensure that the processed concrete substrates meet your high standards or those of your customers after using the shot blasting method.
Efficiency and performance:
Processing more surface area in less time means more productivity and lower costs. Your employees will also be pleased when shot blasting is easy and efficient.
Versatility and flexibility:
For anyone who wants to process different surfaces and substrates, shot blasting machines that are made for flexible use pay off.
Safety and health protection:
A powerful dust extraction system protects your employees from health hazards.
Size and weight:
The more compact and lighter a shot blasting machine is, the easier it is for you to transport it to the place where it is to be used.
Ease of use:
A simple and intuitive operating system makes it easy for your employees to use shot blasting machines.
Price and processing quality:
As with all appliances, the same applies to the shot blasting machine: the quality must be right, as must the price.

More flexibility:
Machines can be used individually or in combination
Sometimes a large surface of concrete or asphalt needs to be shot blasted, sometimes a small one - the requirements for blasting width and co. differ from project to project. That's why we have designed some of our shot blasting machines to be modular. This means that you can connect two machines together and use them as one large machine. This means you remain flexible and always have the right machine for both small and large surface treatments.
More areas of application: suitable for different substrates
Whether you want to clean asphalt or increase the slip resistance of concrete floors - with machines from CONTEC, you are always ideally equipped. Because when equipped with suitable blasting media, CONTEC shot blasting machines perform superbly when working on a wide variety of substrates.
More precision: shot blasting down to small angles and corners
Our Elephant model, for example, is designed to blast almost up to the wall so that your employees have as little effort as possible when reworking. This is particularly useful when blasting media needs to be applied right into corners and angles. If a uniform blasting pattern is required for the surface to be processed, the CONTEC MODUL 300 and ELGATOR models, among others, are convincing. The blasting pattern of our MODUL 500 shot blasting machine is even more perfect - just get in touch with us. We will be happy to recommend the shot blasting machine that perfectly matches your requirements.
More robustness: thanks to high-quality workmanship
All of our shot blasting machines are made from high-quality materials so that your team can work safely and successfully for a long time. CONTEC shot blasting machines impress with their robust design and high performance. At the same time, they are compact and modular in design so that they can be easily transported to the respective place of use.
More safety and cleanliness: for the protection of man and machine
Regardless of whether the surface is concrete or asphalt, shot blasting creates dust. You can't prevent it. But: You can opt for CONTEC shot blasting machines with a connected industrial hoover to minimise fine dust pollution. This not only protects the health of those operating the machine during shot peening, but also reduces soiling of the machine. This saves you cleaning effort, time and costs.
More surfaces in less time: thanks to a simple operating concept
The better your employees get to grips with the machine, the faster you can process concrete substrates with shot blasting machines. That's why we at CONTEC rely on a simple and intuitive operating concept for all our shot blasting machines.
Versatile in use - our shot blasting machines
Wherever solid substrates or surfaces made of concrete, asphalt or metal need to be cleaned, roughened or levelled, CONTEC shot blasting machines impress with their high performance. In short, their versatility makes them ideal, for example
For surface preparation of a wall or floor surface made of metal, concrete or stone to efficiently and precisely remove rust, scale, burrs or cement slurry, paint or other residues.
For preparing concrete floors before applying a new floor covering
For cleaning floors in workshops, shopping centres, underground car parks and industrial floors - for example to remove oil or rubber residues
For (pollutant) remediation of car parks, bridges, industrial and residential buildings
