Shotblasting machines, on the other hand, use centrifugal force to propel abrasive media onto a surface. A shotblasting machine uses a high-speed wheel that propels abrasive media, such as steel shot or grit, at the surface to remove coatings, rust, and other debris. Shotblasting machines are often used for cleaning and preparing concrete surfaces for coatings, as well as for removing rust and coatings from metal surfaces.
While sandblasting and shotblasting machines have similar applications, shotblasting machines are generally considered to be more efficient and faster at removing coatings and rust from surfaces. However, they are also more expensive than sandblasting machines and may not be suitable for all types of surfaces or applications. The choice of machine will depend on the specific needs of the application and the material being worked on.
