Sandblasting Process

As an industry leader in trailer manufacturing, we at Midland Trailers take pride in our commitment to superior craftsmanship and innovative solutions. We often receive questions about our sandblasting process and how it differs from other methods used in the market. In this blog, we will provide an inside look into how we sandblast our trailers and why our approach sets us apart from the competition.

No Etch Prime and Powder Coat: Our Unique Approach

Unlike some trailers on the market that use a wet spray finish with etch priming and powder coating, we implement a different and more effective method. At Midland Trailers, we complete our sandblasting and finishing processes right here in our state-of-the-art facility in Parkes, ensuring full control over quality.

Dedicated Sandblasting Room: Optimal Rust Prevention

Before the application of the zinc undercoat, we undertake the sandblasting process in a dedicated sandblasting room within our facility. This step is crucial to prevent any chance of surface rusting. By performing the sandblasting just before the undercoat application, we guarantee maximum protection for your trailer.

Precise Surface Preparation: Achieving a Perfect Finish

We understand the importance of meticulous surface preparation to ensure a flawless end result. That's why we sandblast every trailer to a Grade Sa 2.5 or near-white finish. This rigorous standard entails removing all millscale and rust, leaving us with a pristine surface ready for the next step.
