Process

Our Process: Your Protoblast Journey

From concept to completion and beyond

Your operation is unique – so is every system we build. Our proven process delivers exactly what you need, from day one right through to decades of reliable performance.

Step 1- In-depth Consultation

Our consultant ensures a clear understanding of your products, volumes, space constraints, and performance goals. You receive practical, no‑obligation advice on the the right solution for your operation.

Step 2 – Custom Design

Advanced 3D modelling is used to visualise how the system will integrate seamlessly into your facility. Designs are tailored with flexible configuration options and clearly defined performance specifications.

Step 3 – Streamlined Production

Systems are precision‑manufactured in our Australian facility using certified processes and controlled workflows. Every component is assembled, tested, and finished to ensure long‑term reliability and quality.

Step 4 – Professional Delivery and Installation

Experienced technicians manage delivery, installation, and full mechanical and electrical integration on site. Comprehensive commissioning and live trials verify system performance using your actual products.

Step 5 - Ongoing support

Our support does not stop at training and documentation, with continued access to responsive Australian technical support. Ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and optimisation ensure sustained performance as your operation evolves.

Your journey with Protoblast:

Free consultation - we come to you

Understanding your needs

Our experienced engineers visit your facility to assess your requirements and understand your products, volumes, space constraints, workflow requirements and performance objectives.

No obligation assessment

We evaluate whether in-house blasting makes sense for your operation and, if so, how to do it most effectively. This consultation is provided free with no strings attached.

Custom design development

3D design & visualisation

Using advanced CAD systems, we create detailed 3D models of your system to visualise exactly how the system will integrate with your facility.

Configuration options

We present multiple design approaches optimised for different priorities, maximum efficiency, budget constraints, future expansion or space.

Performance specifications

Every design is backed by detailed calculations for airflow, throughput capabilities, energy consumption and maintenance schedules.

Design refinement and approval

Your input shapes the solution

We refine designs based on your feedback, a collaborative approach to ensure the final system integrates seamlessly with your operations.

Complete project planning

After design approval, we finalise technical specifications, project timeline, installation requirements and ongoing support provisions.

Precision Australian manufacturing

Quality without compromise

Every system is built from scratch in our Picton facility using precision equipment and certified procedures to meet exacting standards.

Full assembly and testing

All our conveyors, elevators, dust collection and control systems are fully assembled in our workshop and their performance is verified.

Professional finishing

After testing, systems are disassembled for industrial coating, then professionally packaged for transport with complete documentation.

Professional installation and commissioning

Expert installation team

Experienced technicians handle installation with precise positioning, mechanical assembly, electricals and safety system verification.

Performance verification

Comprehensive commissioning including individual component testing, complete system operational trials and performance verification.

Live blasting trials

Using your actual products, we conduct operational trials to optimise system settings, surface preparation quality and confirm throughput.

Training and handover

Comprehensive operator training

Receives thorough training on safe operation procedures, routine maintenance requirements, troubleshooting and performance optimisation.

Complete documentation

Operating and maintenance manuals, spare parts recommendations, safety procedures and warranty information ensure smooth operation.

Ongoing partnership

Scheduled maintenance

Planned inspections and maintenance maximise performance and equipment life, proactively preventing problems, not just reacting.

Responsive support

Australian manufacturing means Australian support – parts in stock, technical expertise available and rapid response whenever needed.

Continuous improvement

As your operation evolves, we’re here to help with system modifications, capacity expansion and performance enhancement opportunities.

Proven process, reliable results

Our process has been refined over hundreds of installations across five decades. Every step is designed to minimise risk and maximise your return on investment, with clear communication and milestone approvals throughout.

"Your backup and support are also a great asset. After-sales care and spare parts are essential to our business, and you haven't failed in that area either."
