Portable abrasive blasting for professionals. Remove coatings, mill scale and corrosion and create a clean anchor profile, without compressors, hoses or pressure vessels.
Industrial maintenance demands equipment that is efficient, portable and immediately available. Until now, professionals had to choose between conventional power tools and industrial abrasive blasting. Power tools are portable but too slow for heavy coatings, corrosion and mill scale, and because they work by mechanical abrasion, they can round the surface and struggle to hold a proper anchor profile. Industrial blasting delivers outstanding results but relies on compressors, hoses, pressure vessels and extensive setup, making it impractical for localized maintenance and repair.
The BLSTR sander changes that. By combining true abrasive blasting performance with the simplicity of an electric handheld tool, it removes industrial coatings, corrosion and mill scale while preparing steel for recoating, without compressors, hoses or pressure vessels. From fabrication workshops to construction sites and maintenance at height, it enables professional surface preparation wherever electricity is available.

Testing on industrial substrates demonstrates the BLSTR sander's ability to remove corrosion and demanding coating systems while creating a consistent anchor profile. Surface cleanliness up to Sa 2.5 according to ISO 8501-1 / SSPC-SP 10 was achieved during testing.
Verified coating-removal test: a 1,230 µm three-layer industrial coating with an adhesion strength of 7.63 MPa was completely removed in 2 minutes 17 seconds, using 400 g of GH50 steel grit.
Abrasive selection influences removal speed, surface profile, media consumption, dust generation and the final appearance of the substrate.
Test results are application-specific. Actual performance depends on the substrate, coating composition and thickness, initial corrosion grade, abrasive type and particle size, operating technique and desired surface finish. Always test the selected abrasive on a small, inconspicuous area before treating the complete surface.
Every application benefits from reduced setup time, lower abrasive consumption and precise treatment of only the required area.
Removes epoxy, polyurethane, powder coatings and other industrial paint systems before inspection or recoating. Treating only damaged areas makes maintenance faster and more economical.
Removes mill scale from structural steel, fabricated components and welded assemblies to expose clean steel ready for coating, improving adhesion and extending asset life.
Removes rust precisely where maintenance is required. Dry media and no compressed-air tank mean no added moisture, reducing flash rust and keeping the surface coatable longer.
Creates a clean, consistent anchor profile for primers and protective coatings. Concentrating on the repair area reduces labour, abrasive consumption and downtime while maintaining outstanding adhesion.
Restores small damaged areas quickly and accurately, reducing production interruptions and maintenance costs. Ideal when flexibility and speed matter more than a full blasting installation.
The BLSTR sander wasn't built to replace large-scale blasting in fabrication shops. It was engineered for one of the most expensive challenges in industrial maintenance: localized surface preparation and spot repair.
Heavy multi-layer coatings, often over 1 mm dry film thickness, protect assets for decades. But once structures are transported, installed and in service, coating damage is unavoidable: transport and lifting damage, assembly scratches, weld repairs, and corrosion around bolts, welds and edges. Even a small damaged area exposes bare steel and becomes a starting point for corrosion.
Repairing a few square centimetres the traditional way needs the same logistics as several square metres: compressors, hoses, blast pots, containment, dust control, safety barriers and extra crew. Often the mobilisation costs more than the blasting itself.
Connect to power, add abrasive, and prepare the surface exactly where it’s needed, in confined spaces, at height or inside structures where compressor blasting is impractical.
The BLSTR sander supports professionals across heavy and light industry. Portable abrasive blasting with no lengthy setup.
No compressed-air hoses or blast lines across the floor. Fewer trip hazards, easier confined-space access, safer work at height.
For industrial surface preparation, where each approach earns its keep.
Abrasive and rotating steel brushing ultimately remove the same contaminants (rust, mill scale, paint and coatings), so the main environmental consideration is the material being removed, not the tool. When inert media such as aluminium silicate, garnet or glass are used, the abrasive itself has a low intrinsic impact; spent media should be collected and disposed of according to the contaminants it carries. The BLSTR sander also operates without a compressed-air system, reducing energy consumption compared with conventional blasting.
Professionals choose the BLSTR sander because it delivers industrial surface preparation without the complexity of traditional blasting systems. No compressor, no pressure vessel and virtually no setup time mean faster interventions, lower investment and greater flexibility. A practical solution for modern maintenance teams seeking professional results wherever the job takes them.
Trusted for demanding industrial steelwork, and just as capable in a workshop, garage or restoration project.
The BLSTR sander is compact, handheld and compressor-free, but the work itself is still abrasive blasting. Use it in an environment suited to surface-preparation work, with proper ventilation, protection and control around the work zone.
Proper containment and extraction turn real blasting power into clean, controlled surface preparation.
