Steel Grit Blasting
Steel Grit Blasting for High Demanding Industrial Requirements
Heavy Duty Steel Grit Blasting for Massive Structural Components
Löfs’s professional shot blasting service provides effective mechanical pretreatment for cleaning hot-rolled steel, sheet metal parts, and welded components. Production capacity has been optimized to reliably handle large industrial production runs and large-scale structures without production bottlenecks.
All shot blasting operations are performed with a high level of expertise in accordance with the cleanliness classes specified in the international SFS-EN ISO 8501-1 standard. The three state-of-the-art shot blasting machines ensure exceptionally uniform and energy-efficient cleaning that effectively removes mill scale and rust. The service operates as a flexible contract manufacturing solution, from which products can be transferred directly to our own certified painting and galvanizing lines.

Optimized Surface Architecture for Unyielding Coating Adhesion
Steel grit blasting establishes an absolute prerequisite for a completely clean, uniform substrate prior to the automated coating process. In addition to advanced structural corrosion protection, this industrial method conditions cut edges and weld seams, eliminating anomalies and streamlining all subsequent manufacturing phases.
Löfs integrates mechanical pretreatment directly into your supply chain matrix to secure continuous production stability. Every process executes in strict compliance with international occupational safety, chemical management, and environmental (EHS) regulations.
-
Removal of Rolling Mill Scale
The hard oxide layer that forms on the surface of hot-rolled steel is completely removed on the production line in accordance with the requirements of the standard, which prevents the paint from flaking.
-
Finishing of Machined Parts
Cut surfaces, weld seams, and rust are effectively removed, which facilitates further machining and grinding of the workpieces.
-
Efficiency of Automation
The blasting material is sprayed onto the surface without compressed air, making the process extremely uniform, fast, and cost-effective for large-scale production runs.

Solutions that Support Production
01
Surface Treatment Consulting
We help manufacturing companies identify the best solutions, develop their own surface treatment processes, or plan a new paint shop, including investment calculations.
With over 30 years of practical experience, we optimize material selection, equipment, and production processes (such as OEE monitoring and ERP integrations). Our expert consulting services ensure that you avoid unnecessary costs, quality issues, and production inefficiencies.
02
System Delivieries
We deliver fully integrated and optimized solutions for the handling and assembly of materials and products.
In addition to surface treatment, we source necessary components on your behalf, execute precision assembly, handle final packaging, and manage storage. A comprehensive turnkey solution reduces total cost of ownership and guarantees predictability in the supply chain.
03
Outsourcing Surface Treatment
We analyze whether managing an in-house surface treatment process serves your strategy, or if outsourcing delivers a superior financial and operational outcome.
Partnering with Löfs frees up internal resources, eliminates the need for heavy capital investments, and secures certified, uncompromised quality under all market conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Steel Grit Blasting
We serve metal, machinery, and equipment manufacturers throughout Finland, offering industrial-scale capacity and uncompromising quality. Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions related to steel grit blasting.
Air blast cleaning deploys blasting media manually via compressed air nozzles, ensuring targeted surface preparation for highly complex geometries and individual oversized structural components. Automated steel grit blasting utilizes high-speed centrifugal impellers to propel the angular steel grit mechanically inside a controlled enclosure.
Automated execution guarantees absolute uniformity, superior throughput speed, and repeatable anchoring profile parameters optimized specifically for high-volume manufacturing runs, industrial sheets, and heavy structural beams.
