The Challenge

In the world of delicate surface cleaning, the industry faces a recurrent issue—the use of Glass Beads. While effective, Glass Beads incur high costs, lower productivity, and greater material consumption, rendering them impractical for many projects, especially those involving soft metals, glass, plastics, and restoration efforts. Furthermore, the environmental impact of disposal is a pressing concern.
