Argyll Blast Services are the first in Argyll to offer a revolutionary way of eco-friendly low pressure blasting using mobile equipment supplied by The Farrow System.
The versatility of The Farrow System allows removal of surface coatings from most substrates including aluminium, timber, steel, fibreglass, rubber, brick, masonry, concrete, granite, marble, ceramics, terracotta, brass, plastic and in some circumstances has even removed ink from paper.
The portability of the system allows a unit to be manoeuvred into virtually any location further enhancing its versatility.
When it comes to cleaning The Farrow System is able to remove graffiti from any surface, remove rust and other oxidants from boats, cars, mining equipment, machinery, jetty pylons in marine parks, marine anti-foul and other substances such as old varnish from timbers, black tar, grime, mould, scale, soot and salts from any industrial or commercial applications.
Based in Dunbeg by Oban, our services are available throughout Argyll and Lochaber to all industries including marine, building, commercial, mining, retail, aviation etc.
The Farrow System has been specifically designed to produce a totally safe, 100% environmentally friendly low pressure blast cleaning system for all types of surfaces without the use of any harmful chemicals or toxic fumes.
Traditional water blasters use approximately 20 litres of our precious commodity every minute. This water, along with contaminants from the surface being cleaned, is then dispersed in large volumes into our environment. The Farrow System uses as little as 0.5 litres of water per minute, dramatically reducing the clean up liability.
Dry sand blasting causes severe dust problems which in turn create significant health issues. Such systems should only be used in suitable blast enclosures. The media usage from traditional sand blasting techniques can be as high as 500kg per hour. With the remarkable Farrow System your media usage is reduced to as little as 30kg per hour, which, when mixed and absorbed with the small quantity of water, greatly reduces any environmental risk and simplifies clean up. This saves you time and money.
The Farrow System's outstanding environmental features are probably best illustrated by the fact, that it holds approval to be operated in Australia's prestigious Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
