Industrial Abrasive Blasting Equipment
The quality of any plaster job, resurfacing project, or coating application depends on the surface prep that comes before it. AGSCO Corporation supplies a full line of industrial abrasive blasting equipment to help your crew get that prep right, every time. Our products are backed by an ISO 9001-certified operation with roots going back to 1888.
From single-operator pool repair outfits to multi-site service providers and the distributors who supply them, AGSCO is the partner pros call when surface prep can't be the weak link.
Our Full Line of Abrasive Blasting Machines and Systems
Whether you need spare parts for an existing rig, a turnkey system for a new shop, or rental units to handle a seasonal spike in pool resurfacing work, we can help. Our abrasive blasting equipment lineup provides durability and repeatable results under the demanding cycles that plaster crews and industrial contractors put their gear through.
Blasting Cabinets
Our blasting cabinets can be custom-tailored to your specific process, whether you're cleaning fittings and pool hardware between jobs, deburring fabricated parts, or running production-volume surface prep. Choose from suction and pressure configurations, with size and media-handling options matched to your throughput. If you don't see exactly what you need on the shelf, our specialists will spec a cabinet around your application.
Abrasive Blasting Machines and Turnkey Systems
From portable blast pots that travel between job sites to integrated industrial sandblasting equipment with reclaim systems and dust collection, AGSCO supplies the full range of abrasive blasting machines. Pool resurfacing teams use our pressure pots to strip old plaster and prep shells for new bond coats. Industrial contractors rely on our larger systems for steel, concrete, and coating removal projects. Distributors stock our equipment because end users keep coming back for it.
Mass Finishing Equipment
For parts that need cleaning, deburring, polishing, or drying at volume, our mass finishing equipment produces consistent results across part sizes and geometries. It fits naturally into operations that cycle pool hardware, fittings, and metal components on a repeat basis.
Blasting Rental Equipment
Not every job justifies a capital purchase, and not every contractor wants to tie up cash in a unit that sits idle between projects. AGSCO offers rental options across our abrasive blasting machines lineup, so you can match equipment to the job at hand. Rentals are a flexible way to take on bigger projects, test gear before buying, or cover a busy stretch without overcommitting.
Spare Parts and Safety Equipment
Downtime is expensive. We carry spare parts for the equipment we sell, including nozzles, hoses, valves, gaskets, and the consumables that wear out first, alongside a full line of operator safety gear, including blast hoods, respirators, suits, and gloves. One call, one supplier, parts on the way.
Why Pool and Surface Prep Pros Choose AGSCO
Equipment is only part of what makes a blasting operation run well. The other part is having a supplier who understands your work, stocks what you need, and picks up the phone when you have a question. Here's what sets AGSCO apart for the contractors, service providers, and distributors who source from us.
- Application Expertise, Not Just a Catalog: Pool plaster prep is its own discipline. Hotel and commercial pool maintenance has its own demands. Industrial coating removal is another category again. Our specialists understand the differences and will help you match the right surface preparation equipment to the substrate, the abrasive, and the finish you're after.
- A Single Source for Equipment and Media: AGSCO is among the few suppliers who manufactures and distributes both the industrial abrasive blasting equipment and the abrasives that feed it, including pool plasters, aluminum oxide, garnet, glass bead, and specialty aggregates. That means matched recommendations and one PO instead of several.
- For Buyers at Every Scale: Fortune 500 manufacturers, government agencies, regional pool builders, independent resurfacing contractors, and equipment distributors all source from AGSCO. Whether you need one cabinet or a containerload, the same team supports the order.
Two Facilities, National Reach: Our Libertyville, Illinois, and Pine Brook, New Jersey, operations ship across the U.S., with inventory and toll-processing capacity to handle custom blends, private labeling, and rush orders.
Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Abrasive Blasting Equipment
What's the difference between suction and pressure blasting equipment?
Suction (or siphon) cabinets pull abrasive into the airstream using venturi action. They're best suited to lighter cleaning, deburring, and finishing tasks on smaller pool hardware and fittings. Pressure systems pressurize the abrasive in a holding pot before propelling it through the nozzle, resulting in faster cutting and higher production rates. Our specialists can walk you through the tradeoffs based on your typical job profile.
Do I need a dust collector or reclaim system with my blasting equipment?
For enclosed cabinet work, a dust collector is standard, so the operator can see the work and the cabinet stays usable. For open blasting on pool shells or job sites, dust collection and abrasive reclaim are separate considerations driven by your media choice, the substrate, OSHA exposure rules, and whether you want to recover and reuse the abrasive. AGSCO can quote standalone equipment or integrated systems, depending on how your operation is set up.
What abrasive should I use for pool plaster removal versus shell prep?
It depends on the substrate, the existing coating, and the profile you want underneath the new plaster. Aluminum oxide and garnet are common choices for aggressive removal, while softer media work better when you want to clean without cutting into the gunite. Because AGSCO supplies both the equipment and
