Industrial Sandblasting Perth: Heavy-Duty Asset Protection
Rust, old paint, and salt corrosion destroy your machinery. You need professional abrasive blasting to strip surfaces clean and prepare them for protective coatings.
McDougall Weldments provides industrial sandblasting for Perth and Western Australian businesses. We use high-pressure garnet blasting to restore steel, aluminium, and iron to bare metal.
Why Perth Businesses Send Equipment to Us
Most Perth sandblasting workshops in Welshpool or Kwinana charge premium city rates. They also have long wait times.
We operate in Cuballing (approx. 2 hours from Perth). Our lower regional overheads mean:
Better Pricing: You get more value per hour of blasting.
Faster Turnaround: We avoid the backlog typical of metro shops.
McDougall Certified Quality: We treat your gear like our own.
We regularly transport heavy machinery from Perth, the Wheatbelt, and the Great Southern region.
Our Sandblasting Capabilities
We handle projects that small mobile units cannot touch. Our facility accommodates:
Heavy agricultural machinery (harvesters, seeders, tractors).
Industrial structural steel.
Mining equipment and conveyor parts.
Truck chassis and trailers.
Vintage car bodies and chassis restoration.
Marine parts and boat trailers.
The Process: Safe & Effective Surface Prep
We do not use toxic silica sand. We use Garnet Stone abrasive.
Garnet is a safe, fast-cutting natural mineral. It strips rust and scale without embedding dangerous contaminants into the steel. This creates the perfect "anchor profile" (roughness) for paint to stick.
Our Standard Workflow
Degreasing: We remove oil and grease before blasting.
Abrasive Blasting: We strip the surface to Class 2.5 or Class 3 (White Metal) standards.
Profile Check: We verify the surface texture is ready for coating.
Industrial Painting: We apply cold-galv primers and Two Pack (2pac) acrylic or enamel paints immediately to prevent flash rust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you transport my equipment from Perth?
Yes. We coordinate transport for heavy machinery from Perth metro and surrounding areas. The cost saving on our blasting rates often covers the transport fee.
Do you offer mobile sandblasting?
Yes. For fixed assets like storage tanks or structural beams that cannot move, we bring our equipment to you.
What paint do you use after blasting?
We specialize in industrial two-pack (2pac) paints and cold-galvanizing primers. These provide superior protection against WA's harsh UV and salt conditions.
How long does the process take?
We complete most standard jobs within 4 business days. This is significantly faster than many Perth-based competitors.
