Farm equipment works hard—and it shows. Over time, exposure to the elements, fertilisers, grease, and daily wear takes its toll. But before you replace that old trailer, plough, or baler… consider this: Sandblasting can bring your farm machinery back to life—without breaking the bank. Here’s what you need to know before restoring your agricultural equipment.

Old machinery doesn’t have to mean replacement. Whether it’s rusted, caked in grease, or covered in peeling paint, industrial equipment can often be restored—and sandblasting is the first and most powerful step. At Albion Blasting, we help businesses save time and money by bringing tired machines back to life. Here’s how.

Stripping old paint or rust? You’ve got options—but not all of them are created equal. One of the most common questions we get at Albion Blasting is: “Should I sandblast this, or use paint stripper/chemicals instead?” Let’s break it down so you know which method is right for your project—and when sandblasting is the smarter, safer choice.

Not all blasting methods are created equal. Whether you're restoring a classic car, cleaning delicate components, or stripping old paint from machinery, it’s important to choose the right technique for the job. At Albion Blasting, we offer multiple blasting options to suit different materials and outcomes. Here’s a beginner-friendly breakdown of the differences between sandblasting, soda blasting, and vapour blasting—so you know what’s right for your project.

Ever wondered what actually happens during a sandblasting job? Whether you’re curious about restoring your car chassis or prepping an industrial surface for repainting, understanding the process can help you know what to expect—and why it’s worth doing professionally. At Albion Blasting, we follow a precise, safe, and effective method to get results that last. Here’s a clear breakdown of how it all works.

Sandblasting is a process where abrasive material—known as blasting media—is forcibly propelled against a surface using compressed air. This effectively removes rust, old paint, corrosion, grime, and other unwanted materials. The result? A clean, smooth, or textured surface ready for refinishing, repair, or display.
