Identify hidden shot blasting costs without disrupting production
Why this matters ?
Most plants track the price per kg of abrasives. But real blasting costs rarely appear on the invoice.
They usually hide in:
- slowly increasing abrasive consumption,
- energy-intensive settings that still “work,”
- recovery losses,
- downtime, rejects, and rework.
Because these effects are gradual, they often remain invisible until margin pressure increases. That’s why Total Cost of Operation (TCO) matters.
What is an efficiency audit TCO ?
What it is
A structured, measurement-first review that helps you understand what your blasting process really costs per part.
- Focused on data, not assumptions
- Based on your current setup
- Designed to support decision-making
What it is NOT
- Not a consultancy project
- Not a process reset
- Not a supplier change
What we measure
To build a meaningful TCO baseline, the audit focuses on 4 key cost drivers:
- Abrasive consumption : kg per part or kg per ton
- Energy per output : kWh per part or per ton
- Downtime linked to blasting : maintenance, adjustments, instability
- Rejects and rework : related to surface preparation variability
These indicators are measurable, comparable, and directly linked to margin.
How the audit works
- Fill in the form :
Share minimal information about your blasting process. - Receive a practical guide tailored to your process:
wheel blasting, or air blasting. These guides help stabilize performance and prevent cost drift. - We contact you to schedule a free audit
A short, remote-first discussion to- establish a TCO baseline,
- identify main cost levers,
- define together how to reduce the cost of your blasting process.
