The MontiPower Axial Bristle Blaster is a hand-held, air-powered surface preparation tool built to remove corrosion in areas that are difficult to reach, such as door rabbets, roof joints and wheel housings. It addresses the problem that conventional grit blasting is hard to deploy in tight or awkward geometry, yet those areas still need a sound, clean profile before coating. With its patented Accelerator Bar, the Axial removes corrosion and creates a blasted surface for superior coating adhesion in places other tools cannot easily access.

The bristle blasting process uses specially designed rotary bristle belts whose wire tips are bent forward, removing corrosion and generating an anchor profile in a single pass. It removes paint and undercoating quickly and is reported to reduce surface preparation time by 75 percent compared with traditional methods, saving time and cost while delivering high performance on rust removal.

The MontiPower Axial Bristle Blaster is 300mm long, 125mm wide and weighs 1.1kg. It requires a flow pressure of 6.2 bar (90 psi) with average air consumption of 14.2 cfm (0.4 cubic metres per minute), runs at a free speed of 2,700 rpm and takes a G 1/4 inch threaded air inlet with a 9.5mm (3/8 inch) interior hose. Vibration is 1.45 m/sec2 and the sound pressure level is 84 dB(A). Used in corrosion control and coatings work across marine, offshore and industrial maintenance, and supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised distributor.
