Our Equipment Lineup for Chandler Job Sites
We provide a complete range of equipment suited to every scale of job, from contractor machines and blast cabinets to occasional-use setups.
Pressure Blasters and Contractor Machines
Pressure blasters are the go-to choice for Chandler contractors working on structural steel, heavy fabrication, and large metal surfaces. These machines drive abrasive media against a surface with force, stripping rust, mill scale, old paint, and contaminants far faster than manual methods. We stock contractor-grade pressure pots suited for both shop use and mobile job-site setups.
Blast Cabinets
Blast cabinets allow for clean, contained work in a controlled environment. They are well matched to smaller-scale metal parts work common among Chandler's semiconductor supply chain vendors, automotive shops, and fabrication companies. Cabinet systems recover and reuse media, lowering operating costs over time.
Blasting Media
Pecks Coating Supply Co. carries garnet, glass beads, aluminum oxide, steel grit, steel shot, copper slag, crushed glass, and walnut shells. Each type suits specific substrates and finish requirements. Our team can help you match grit size and media hardness to your surface so you get a consistent profile on the first pass.
What Media Works Best for Chandler Industrial Projects?
The right media depends on your substrate, required surface profile, and equipment setup. Chandler's mix of semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace fabrication, and general metalwork means most customers benefit from having more than one media type on hand.
Common Media Types and Their Applications
- Garnet offers hardness and low dust generation, making it practical for open-blast work where dust control matters.
- Aluminum oxide is aggressive enough for hard metals and is often used in blast cabinets for precision work.
- Steel grit and steel shot are common in heavy industrial applications requiring a consistent anchor profile before coating.
- Glass beads are preferred for finishing and automotive restoration because they create a smooth, bright surface without cutting deeply into the base material.
How Arizona's Climate Affects Your Media Choice
Arizona's desert climate adds considerations. Monsoon season brings elevated humidity that causes freshly blasted steel to flash-rust quickly, so coatings should be applied promptly after surface prep. Intense heat and UV exposure also accelerate paint breakdown on unprotected surfaces. Getting the surface profile right the first time is critical to long-term coating adhesion in this environment.

You'll need a respirator, hearing protection, gloves, and a blast suit or hood. Pecks Coating Supply Co. stocks PPE sized for occasional and industrial-scale use.
Is "Sandblasting" the Same as Abrasive Blasting?
Not exactly. Sandblasting once meant silica sand specifically. Modern abrasive blasting uses safer media like garnet and glass beads for the same result.

Yes. Pecks Coating Supply Co. offers pickup and delivery for Chandler-area contractors, so equipment and media reach your job site fast.
