Shotblasters: Precision Surface Preparation across Australia
Before any coating goes down, the surface needs to be properly prepared. That’s where shotblasters come in. They’re built to strip back the top layer of concrete, removing contaminants and leaving a profile that coatings can actually stick to. It’s a faster, more consistent method compared to a lot of traditional prep work.
Floorex supplies a range of machines suited to different site conditions, from smaller jobs through to large industrial spaces. As far as surface preparation machines go, shotblasters are one of the more efficient options when the goal is a clean, even result.

How Shotblasters Work
Concrete shotblasters use a simple but effective process. Steel shot is propelled at the floor, breaking up weak surface material and knocking off anything sitting on top-old coatings, dirt, curing compounds. At the same time, the machine recovers and recycles the shot, so it keeps working in a continuous cycle.
Hooked up to the right dust collector, these surface preparation machines run with minimal mess. Dust is contained, visibility stays clear, and there’s less to clean up once the job’s done.
Where They Fit In
You’ll usually see shotblasters used before applying epoxy or similar coatings, especially where adhesion really matters. They’re also handy for general clean-up of concrete surfaces that have been exposed to traffic or weather.
Concrete shotblasters are a good fit for garages, warehouses, walkways and larger commercial floors. Anywhere a consistent finish is needed across the whole surface, they tend to outperform other prep methods.
Common Machine Options
The Streamer range is widely used and covers a fair bit of ground in terms of size and output. Smaller units are easier to handle in tight areas, while the larger models are built for open floors where coverage matters more.
On bigger sites, ride-on machines from Solaris and Impacts come into play. These shotblasters are geared towards productivity, making them a practical choice when there’s a lot of ground to cover in a limited timeframe.
