The history of sandblasting Inventor of Sandblast
The discovery of the sandblast method has its own strange story. It is known that one day Benjamin Tilghman, who was a military general, was spending time in his military headquarters located in a log cabin.
Suddenly, a huge sand storm appears; This sand storm was one of the strangest storms in the history of that region.
After the storm is over, Mr. Tilghman wants to look out of his room window when a trivial issue draws his attention from the sand storm to the window glass of the room; The glass of the room is frosted due to impact with sand particles from the storm, and this is the reason for awakening the sparks of Mr. Tilghman's curiosity.
Therefore, the idea of making a device that can throw sand particles on the surface of the parts at high speed is formed in his mind.
The first sandblasting machine was invented by Tilghman and earned the title of the father of sandblasting in the world.
With this important invention, the old method of cleaning and preparing surfaces, which was expensive and very time-consuming in many cases, was abandoned, and a new method called sandblasting was introduced to the world as an economical and convenient process.
