We have two distinctly different methods of cleaning the fabricated components produced at FMP.

1. We have an in house tumble blast machine for cleaning parts in the 1 to 30 pound range. Parts are tumbled in a rotating 'C' shaped barrel while steel shot is propelled against the surface of the fabrication.
2. We also contract an outside vendor to tumble blast or hang blast parts. The tumble blast would be done the same as described in number 1 only in a larger machine. For parts that are too large for the tumble blast process our vendor has the capability of blasting the parts in a blast chamber that would provide cleaning by propelling steel shot, sand or glass beads against the surface of the fabrication. This method is often done with a directed spray by a man in a protective suit inside the blast chamber or room.
