Mobile Shot Blasting for Farm Machinery, Grain Stores & Agricultural Steelwork
Commercial Shot Blasting provides specialist shot blasting services for the agricultural sector across England and Wales. Our mobile units come directly to your farm or yard to remove rust, old paint, and surface contamination from tractors, farm implements, grain stores, livestock buildings, and agricultural steelwork — preparing surfaces for protective coatings that extend service life and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
We visit your farm or agricultural site to assess the machinery or structures, confirm the required cleanliness standard, and agree the coating specification with you.
Sensitive components — bearings, seals, hydraulic fittings, and electrical connections — are masked and protected before blasting begins.
All surfaces are blasted to remove rust, old paint, and contamination, achieving clean bare metal to Sa 2 or Sa 2.5 standard as required.
Surface cleanliness and profile are verified before coating application to ensure the substrate is ready for the specified primer or topcoat.
We coordinate primer or protective coating application to protect the freshly blasted surfaces before the machinery or structure returns to service.
Before blasting: Heavy rust, old paint, soil contamination, hydraulic fluid, agricultural chemical residues
After blasting: Sa 2.5 clean metal; 40–70 µm profile for primer and topcoat
Agricultural machinery is subject to C3–C4 corrosivity from soil, fertilisers, and moisture. Shot blasting to Sa 2.5 removes all corrosion products and contamination, providing the profile needed for a 5–10 year coating life.
Yes. Our mobile units come directly to your farm or agricultural site. We can blast tractors, implements, and other machinery on-site, minimising downtime and transport costs. We work around your farming schedule to reduce disruption.
For agricultural machinery, we recommend a zinc-rich primer followed by a two-pack epoxy or polyurethane topcoat for maximum durability in the harsh agricultural environment. We can advise on the most suitable coating system for your specific equipment and budget.
Yes. We regularly blast grain stores, steel portal frame farm buildings, and agricultural structures. Our mobile equipment can treat large areas of structural steelwork and cladding on-site without the need to dismantle the building.
Cost depends on the size and condition of the machinery or structure. We provide free site surveys and detailed quotations. As a guide, a single tractor chassis typically takes one day; a grain store or farm building will be priced per square metre of surface area.
