Sourcing partnerCleanWrx Solutions
United StatesMakers of 207®, a patented one-step water additive that cleans and passivates metal surfaces, removing soluble salts, chlorides and biofilm and holding a flash-rust-resistant window between blasting and coating.
- Removes soluble salts, chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, MIC, oil and grease in a single application
- Passivates the surface rather than inhibiting or film-forming
- Available through M-TESTCO® as the CW207 concentrate
Technology partnerZürich, SwitzerlandSwiss aerial robotics company behind the Voliro T, an omnidirectional drone built for contact-based work at height. MontiPower has integrated the Bristle Blaster® and MBX® directly onto the platform as the Aeroblaster payload.

- Strategic partnership for grit-free surface prep without scaffolding or rope access
- Every repair documented and stored in Voliro Cloud
Research partnerSaxion University of Applied Sciences
Enschede, NetherlandsSaxion led the Aero-Blaster research project, a TechForFuture-funded proof-of-concept exploring how the Bristle Blaster® could be mounted on an aerial robot for grit-free surface preparation at height, an early step on the road to Aeroblaster.
- Funded by TechForFuture
- Proof-of-concept robot able to stably interact with a surface and trigger the Bristle Blaster
- Applied research that fed directly into the Aeroblaster platform
Research partnerUniversity of Groningen

Technology partnerRobotPlusPlus (ROBOT++)
Founded 2015A robotics engineering company building magnetic crawler robots, multipurpose arms and hydroblasting systems for working-at-height surface preparation in maritime, shipbuilding, energy and petrochemical industries.
- Weld-seam shot blasting robots for tank and steel-plate surface prep
- Enclosed and open abrasive blasting plus high-pressure hydroblasting modules
- Reduces manual exposure to hazardous, at-height and confined-space work
Sourcing partnerTwo-step system partnerHeavy-removal discs and wheels that pair with the Bristle Blaster® on the same drive unit: Tercoo® strips thick or layered coatings and mill scale in bulk, then the Bristle Blaster® activates and profiles the surface to standard.
- Runs on the same MontiPower drive unit as the Bristle Blaster®
- Swap from Tercoo® to bristle blasting in about 30 seconds
- Used as the bulk-removal step ahead of coal-tar epoxy and other heavy coatings
