Abstract:  
Herb's Solutions Blasting using compressed air as the energy source is an age-old process. Over time, enhancements have helped users of this technology achieve greater productivity, economy, and safety through nozzle design, air-flow management, and controls. Air blasting is useful for achieving results from many industrial surface treatments, such as shot peening, paint stripping, preparing new surfaces for coatings, deflashing, deburring, and general cleaning.
