Automotive Surface Solutions

Controlled Integrity. Selective Material Removal.

Supplying the automotive industry since 1987, MBX® technology delivers Spot On surface preparation without damaging the substrate, a cost-effective alternative to blasting for cars, trucks, trains, and more.

The MBX® Difference

Prepares the Surface — Without Compromising It

Specially designed, dynamically controlled belts allow precise surface interaction with no overheating or smearing.

No Overheating

Maintains surface integrity where traditional methods would overheat or damage the substrate.

No Smearing

Prevents the smearing or burnishing common with high-speed grinding.

Preserves Base Material

Cleans without removing excessive base material or altering the substrate.

Consistent Results

Eliminates the inconsistency of manual sanding and aggressive grinding.

Technical Precision

Controlled Impact, Immediate Retraction

MBX® systems use dynamically controlled belts and contact pressure for precise surface interaction. Tips retract immediately after contact, preventing gouging or deep cutting, and achieve a uniform finish across the entire work area while preserving substrate integrity.

Cuts labour by more than 60% compared to traditional methods.

Both achieve cleanliness comparable to ISO 8501-1 Sa2 ½ & Sa3. MBX® is a self-contained unit built for selective, layer-by-layer removal, preferred in bodywork and production where control matters most; the Bristle Blaster® mounts its patented accelerator bar for heavier corrosion.

No. MBX® removes the layer you target without heating, warping or thinning the substrate. No overheating, no smearing, and it preserves base material, which is why automotive workshops have used it since 1987.
