Automatic sandblasting systems for controlled production cycles
Finimac manufactures sandblasting machines in Milan for metals, specifically designed for cleaning, smoothing, and surface preparation. Our machines use a controlled discharge of abrasives contained in a tank and allow us to work on metal components, mechanical parts, and surfaces that require regular treatment before subsequent production phases.
Industrial pressure and vacuum sandblasting machines
The Finimac range includes pressure and vacuum models, chosen based on the required power, the size of the piece, and the desired finish. Pressure versions are recommended when a more powerful jet and high treatment capacity are required, while vacuum versions offer practical and versatile handling for many manual processes. In both cases, we design the machine to ensure stable abrasive flow and consistent treatment across the surface.
Configurations and technical aspects to evaluate
The design of automatic sandblasting systems begins with a thorough analysis of the component. Factors such as size, weight, material, areas to be treated, and surface positioning significantly influence the selection of the structure and accessories. The type of abrasive is also crucial, as glass microspheres, corundum, plastic granules, vegetable granules, or metal abrasives produce different effects on the surface.
Among the most important elements are:
- piece handling system;
- number and position of guns;
- working pressure and compressed air consumption;
- abrasive recovery and recirculation;
- dust filtration;
- accessibility for maintenance and cleaning.
These aspects impact the process consistency and the daily management of the machine. A correct configuration allows for more stable treatment, limiting abrasive dispersion and unnecessary downtime.
Applications and superficial results
Automatic sandblasting systems can be used for various purposes: removing oxides, stripping paint, deburring, satin finishing, matting, and preparing surfaces for subsequent treatments. The final result depends on the combination of abrasive, pressure, exposure time, distance from the workpiece, and handling method.
An automatic machine is particularly useful when a more consistent work sequence is needed. This doesn't mean eliminating the operator's technical expertise, but rather entrusting the machine with repetitive process steps, giving greater control over configuration, parameters, and the quality of the result.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is it best to choose an automatic sandblasting system?
It's ideal for repetitive processes, similar parts, and a more consistent cycle. It's a suitable solution for mass production, small parts, or components that require uniformity of treatment.
Does Finimac make custom automatic sandblasting systems?
Finimac evaluates the configuration based on the type of workpiece, material, abrasive, and the desired result. The machine can be designed with accessories and handling systems tailored to the job.
What is the difference between a manual cabin and an automatic system?
The manual booth is more suitable for different parts and variable processes. The automatic system is recommended when components need to be processed in a more repeatable and organized manner.
Is it possible to also evaluate a sandblaster for manual use in Milan?
Yes, Finimac also offers benchtop machines, manual booths, and pressure or vacuum systems. The choice depends on the size of the piece, frequency of use, abrasive, and desired surface finish.
What abrasives can be used?
Finimac machines can work with various abrasives, including glass beads, corundum, sand, plastic granules, vegetable granules, and metal abrasives. The choice depends on the material and the desired surface effect.
