Restrictive environmental legislation and a greater awareness of health hazards were the main reasons for developing a range of vacuum blasting equipment. The advantages of the equipment are not limited to preventing environmental and health problems, in many applications it is also a fully justified method of surface preparation on an economic basis.

In comparison to blast cleaning where abrasive and dust are not contained, it is possible to work
longer periods with a vacuum blast unit, since there is virtually no time and money spent for cleaning-up and site-enclosure. Additionally, disposal costs of hazardous waste is minimal, caused by the use of recyclable abrasives, so the amount of abrasives used is much lower than compared with open-blasting.

The equipment has many applications. Besides for construction and maintenance of ships, the equipment can also be used for the maintenance of bridges, machinery, power plants or for the renovation of concrete.
