How to clean zirconia ceramic blasting beads

1. Initial Separation: Start by placing the used blasting beads on a screen or sieve. The mesh size of the screen should be chosen to allow smaller debris and contaminants to pass through while retaining the zirconia ceramic beads.

2. Air Wash (Dry Cleaning): For dry cleaning, use an air wash system. This system employs compressed air to blow away fine dust and lightweight contaminants that may still be adhering to the beads.Allow the air to circulate through the beads on the screen, dislodging and removing any loose particles.

3. Water Wash (Wet Cleaning): If necessary, you can perform a wet cleaning process using a water wash system. This is particularly useful for removing stubborn contaminants.

4.Final Drying: After cleaning, the zirconia ceramic beads may be wet. Allow them to air-dry thoroughly before reuse or storage. Ensure they are completely dry.

5. Storage: Store the cleaned zirconia ceramic blasting beads in a dry and clean environment to prevent contamination and maintain their quality for future use.

1. Visual Inspection: Examine the beads visually for any visible signs of wear, damage, or contamination.

2. Size and Shape: Verify that the beads have a consistent size and shape. Misshapen or significantly worn beads may not perform effectively.

3. Microscopic Examination: For a more detailed inspection, use a magnifying glass or microscope to examine individual beads closely. This can identify small cracks, surface defects, or contamination that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
