How does an ultrasonic cleaner work?

Ultrasonic cleaning works through high-frequency sound waves transmitted through liquid to scrub clean the surface of immersed parts. The high-frequency sound waves, typically 40 kHz, agitate the liquid solution of water or solvent, and cause the cavitation of solution molecules.

How does sand blasting work?
Sandblasting uses a several pieces of equipment including a blast pot, air source, hose and gun. During the process, blasting media is rapidly shot from the pot through the gun and onto the material that needs to be cleaned. The small bits of media hitting the metal at a rapid speed remove any coatings or contaminates leaving the item completely stripped and ready for a finish coat.
What geographical areas do you service?
Horizon operates a few minutes north of Belleville Ontario and services the Bay of Quinte area.
Do you provide sandblasting services to residential or walk in visitors?
Yes, we commonly blast small parts for walk in customers. We can blast almost anything you want to clean up, including furniture, ATV and Racing parts, as well as car parts that are being restored. Please call us at 613-849-5826 before arriving at our shop.
Do you have to coat the parts or will you just blast them?
We are happy to just blast your parts and allow you to coat them yourself.
Can you strip wood with your services?
Striping wood is our specialty! Wood can be stripped but this requires special media choices and equipment. We sandblast without attacking the wood fiber, with granules that do not deform or dislodge wood fiber, therefore it is a gentle pressure without high penetration.
What is Vapour and Wet Blasting?

The vapor honing process starts in a similar manner to sandblasting. The abrasive material is mixed with water to form a slurry. After this step, the two technologies start to differ.

In wet blasting, you mix the slurry into a liquid in a wet blast machine before pumping it into the blasting gun. Once there, pressurized air propels the mixture onto the surface. The flow of the mixture smooths away corrosion, leaving behind a smooth finish.

Compared to sandblasting, vapor blasting is a much gentler process both on the person doing the job and the surface being prepared. What makes the process easier on your body is that it doesn’t involve chemicals and harsh dust. For the surface being prepared, vapor honing cleans by flow instead of harsh impact.

What is Soda Blasting?

Soda blasting is one of the newer forms of blasting available today. This type of blasting uses sodium bicarbonate as an abrasive material. Air pressure blasts the material on the surface you’re cleaning.

Sodium carbonate is highly effective when it comes to removing contaminants from surfaces. Upon impact with the surface, the abrasive shatters and exerts force, clearing up contaminants from the surface.

Soda blasting is a gentler form of blasting compared to most other blasting techniques. The pressure exertion required is much less, which makes this technique ideal for soft or fragile surfaces such as plastic, glass, and chrome.

What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a method of applying a protective and decorative finish to a wide variety of parts and products. The powder used for this process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is applied with a system that electrostatically charges the powder. The charged particles adhere to the grounded parts. Once heated, the particles fuse to the parts resulting in a smooth continuous coating that is highly durable and resistant to a diminished coating quality as a result of impact, moisture, chemicals, ultraviolet light, and other extreme weather conditions.
