Auer Yüzey Kumlama Tekniği Ticaret Ltd. Şti. delivers advanced industrial blasting machinery, blasting media, and comprehensive surface treatment solutions. The brand’s technological background traces back to the establishment of Paul Auer GmbH in 1947, reflecting decades of engineering heritage and manufacturing expertise in pneumatic and mechanical blasting systems. Backed by DIN EN ISO 9001 certification, Auer provides both standard blast cabinets and bespoke automated systems integrated directly into industrial workflows, serving more than 700 active equipment users across Turkey.
Blasting Methods and Technologies
To address distinct metallurgical properties and component geometries, Auer supplies an extensive range of blasting methods:
• Suction/Injector blasting: Utilizes a venturi injector system to draw abrasive media through suction air, delivering controlled blasting suitable for lighter finishing and delicate components.
• Gravity-feed injector blasting: Employs gravitational assistance for consistent media flow and precise blasting control on complex shapes.
• IMPULS pressure blasting: A high-power blast process delivering maximized kinetic force to strip heavy coatings, scale, and tough rust layers efficiently.
• Wet blasting: Combines abrasive media with a liquid carrier to minimize airborne dust while treating heat-sensitive surfaces with minimal thermal stress.
• Compressed air and wheel (turbine) blasting: Ideal for continuous and heavy-duty serial applications, allowing wide-area abrasive coverage and accelerated cleaning cycles.
Key Surface Finishing Applications
Auer’s blast installations are utilized to fulfill targeted chemical and mechanical surface criteria across multiple manufacturing phases:
• Surface roughening and cleaning: Prepares substrate profiles for superior adhesion of paints, thermal sprays, and protective coatings by eradicating scale, oxides, and rust.
• Deburring and deflashing: Removes machining burs, casting flashing, and parting lines from metallic and plastic components.
• Surface smoothing and texturing: Eliminates manufacturing marks and defects to create uniform matte or polished aesthetic appearances.
• Shot peening: Induces residual compressive stresses in metal surfaces through controlled spherical media impact, significantly increasing dynamic fatigue strength and component lifespan.
Blasting Media Selection
Optimized finishing results require selecting appropriate abrasives in compliance with DIN 11124 and complementary international specifications:
• Metallic abrasives: Cast steel shot, steel grit, and stainless steel media tailored for heavy descaling, aggressive profiling, and shot peening.
• Mineral abrasives: High-grade aluminum oxide (corundum) and glass beads engineered for precise surface texturing, non-ferrous cleaning, and satin finishing.
• Organic abrasives: Crushed walnut shells and plastic blast media designed for non-destructive cleaning, delicate deflashing, and substrate-safe paint stripping.
Machine Range and Industrial Sectors
The equipment portfolio spans manual blast cabinets, rotary turntable units, and continuous through-feed systems, as well as customized turnkey installations built to withstand severe production conditions. These systems serve diverse sectors, including foundries, plastic molders, metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, university research laboratories, and testing institutes. Auer welcomes prospective clients to evaluate their components through direct sample testing, ensuring optimal parameter and media selection.
Technical Support and Spare Parts Availability
Operating from its location in Küçüksu, Istanbul, Auer places great emphasis on operational reliability and post-sales support. The company provides a spare parts supply availability exceeding 10 years for its installations, supported by trained technical specialists responsible for installation, system commissioning, maintenance, and technical consulting.
