Concrete surfaces often need more than simple cleaning before a new flooring system can be installed. Old coatings, contaminants, and smooth surfaces can all affect the performance of the next treatment.

Shot blasting provides an efficient way to remove unwanted surface material while creating a consistent Concrete Surface Profile (CSP).

1. Remove Old Coatings

Shot blasting can remove paint, thin coatings, and other surface materials from concrete.

Unlike simple cleaning methods, the process mechanically impacts the surface, exposing a clean and sound concrete substrate for the next stage of work.

2. Create the Right Surface Profile

Many coatings require a specific surface texture to achieve proper adhesion.

A concrete shot blaster removes the weak surface layer while creating a uniform profile. The final texture can be adjusted through machine settings, travel speed, and abrasive selection.

3. Prepare Large Concrete Areas

Shot blasting is particularly effective for industrial floors, warehouses, parking areas, and other large concrete surfaces.

Because cleaning and profiling can be completed in one process, contractors can prepare large areas efficiently while maintaining more consistent results.

4. Improve Surface Texture

Shot blasting can also be used where a rougher or more slip-resistant concrete surface is required.

This makes it suitable for a wide range of concrete surface preparation applications beyond coating removal.

A Compact Solution for Professional Shot Blasting

For professional floor preparation, the CONGLORY CB1-10E Floor Shot Blasting Machine combines a 250 mm working width with adjustable travel speed from 0–23 m/min.

Its compact design makes it suitable for coating removal, concrete profiling, and a variety of professional surface preparation projects.

From removing old coatings to creating the right surface profile, the right shot blasting process creates a better foundation for what comes next.
