Recycling of Aluminium Oxide

We have developed the technology to recycle Aluminium Oxide, by separating used finer media from un-broken virgin material to provide an environmentally friendly and cost effective product.

We collect the used media from a client’s site, recycle the material and return for blasting. The quality of the recycled material is independently tested and validated before reuse. We can provide the recycling material to clients at approximately half the cost of purchasing virgin material.

Fahy Analytical Ltd., supply and deliver Aluminium Oxide in a range of grades. It is the most widely used abrasive grain in sand blast and surface preparation because of its cost, longevity and hardness. Harder than other commonly used blasting materials, aluminum oxide grit powder penetrates and cuts even the hardest metals.

Applications include the cleaning of engine heads, valves, pistons and turbine blades in the aircraft industry. Another application is its use in applying lettering on monuments and marker inscriptions. It is also commonly used for matt finishing, as well as cleaning and preparing parts for metalizing, plating and welding. Aluminum oxide abrasive grain is the best choice for an abrasive sand blasting.
