About Flo-Blast

Flo-Blast is a specialist abrasive blasting nozzle engineering business supplying professional contractors, distributors and industrial operators across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, the Far East, Canada and the United States.

Our focus is precise: blast nozzle performance.

We do not treat nozzles as interchangeable consumables. We engineer them as performance-critical components — controlling the variables that directly influence productivity, including airflow behaviour, abrasive acceleration, bore geometry stability and long-term wear characteristics.

Over 500,000 nozzles have been supplied into professional surface-preparation environments worldwide, supporting continuous production, maintenance shutdowns and heavy industrial refurbishment programmes.

Flo-Blast builds upon the legacy of established British blast-cleaning brands including ESCO, Hydrablast, Uniblast and Bryar Group.

These engineering foundations underpin our current product range, strengthened through modern material science, improved production control and continuous performance refinement.

This combination of heritage and technical development ensures our products are grounded in proven design principles while evolving to meet current industrial demands.

In abrasive blasting, small dimensional changes produce measurable performance consequences.

Variations in bore diameter, liner concentricity, exit geometry and air supply stability directly affect abrasive velocity, cleaning efficiency, air consumption and overall cost per square metre.

Our manufacturing discipline focuses on controlling these variables to deliver stable airflow, consistent blast patterns and predictable wear across the full service life of the nozzle.

Consistency in the field begins with control in manufacture.

Flo-Blast manufactures across multiple liner materials including:

• Tungsten Carbide
• Silicon Carbide
• Advanced silicon nitride ceramics such as SiAlON
• Boron Carbide

Material selection is application-led — aligned to abrasive type, duty cycle, operator handling conditions and productivity targets.

As raw material markets and performance expectations evolve, we continue to develop ceramic alternatives and material refinements that protect both supply stability and long-term operating efficiency.

Flo-Blast nozzles operate across steel fabrication, shipyards, oil & gas, infrastructure and heavy industrial maintenance environments where downtime, inefficiency and unpredictable wear carry measurable cost.

We provide application guidance and performance-based recommendations to help contractors select the correct bore size, liner material and configuration — supporting productivity, safety and cost control across sustained blasting campaigns.
