Trstenik-based Masinotehnik exports blasting equipment worldwide - Technology applicable in all industry fields
- I attended, at the time when I worked in Petoletka, a meeting at which one of directors pretty visionary announced that they will all have to think about some additional work - because we will not be able to live only on personal income. Then I decided to start my own company and I became convinced that the advice was correct - Zivojin Kacarevic said in his interview for eKapija.
In the beginning for him it was just a supplementary activity and now he officially retired but still runs his company and says it will work as long as he had enough energy.
At the recently held Fair of construction in Belgrade, Masinotehnik presented its mobile sand blasters. Chamber blasters are of slightly larger dimensions and are mainly used for blasting of machine parts, pieces of glass and tablet glass - glasses, bottles, ashtrays. Complete tarnish or certain applications implementation is possible to do on that kind of glass.
Blasters can be made in various sizes and shapes in line with the demand and customers’ needs and as far as price are concerned he claims that they are very realistic and relatively low.
- Blaster with closed blasting systems has wide range of usage and stonemasons and all who deal with granite use them. They buried a specific application, text or engraving, if necessary, to the desired depth. They dig in a specific application, a text or engraving, if necessary, to the desired depth. The advantage of blasted letter and applications compared to another technique on granite is obvious – aesthetically it is much nicer, it gives a special effect and is more durable. People in this business know and appreciate that - our collocutor says.These machines are used in sanding of metal surfaces where dust is not allowed, for example, with tinsmith, on the stone surfaces, sculptures, etc.
- Lately this kind of blaster is a great thing and is in high demand in furniture industry where manufacturers use it in finishing to do the so-called rustic so that furniture would get old-fashioned look. Regardless of the type of wood, it is dug in to a certain depth and thus rings are outlined and provide desired effect.
At the fair, Masinotehnik also presented a small mobile blaster which is widely used in households. Zivojin Kacarevic says people who need to blast some small parts - electric motor , wheels, for something they can do small compressor in the workshop, buy it.
- However, they are mostly used in blasting of steel structures, bridges, vehicles, trucks . There is also blasting of concrete, stone, large areas, brick, glass, and wrought iron foundries use them.
All these are our potential customers – Kacarevic says. All this blasting equipment has another major area of usage - for new materials, which results in their roughness and galvanized paint or powder coating is used.
- We have customers with whom we have been cooperating for a long time and who are very satisfied with our machines. We export products to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Montenegro. We have recently collaborated with Malaysia also and earlier this
year we have done a large business for the Middle East. References are numerous, and we always have plans for business expansion into new markets - Zivojin Kacarevic concludes in his interview for eKapija.
