HIGH SPEED FLEXIBLE & WATERPROOF DISCS
with water flow, no need for dust masks or vacuum cleaner, and no more clogged discs
THE ALDERSON SANDER
The Alderson® sanding machines have been designed to be used in conjunction with water. It is the water that significantly reduces the frictional heat build-up that damages the paint substrate which is often invisible after sanding – especially when sanding water based painted surfaces.
The damage results in blisters forming under the substrate paint and these blisters often don’t become obvious until the surface has been repainted.
The use of water virtually eliminates clogging. Clogged paper also contributes to heat build-up. So these machines extend the life of their abrasive paper and significantly reduce the time it takes to prepare a surface for painting.
The machines can also be used in wet conditions and it also eliminates the need for pre-sanding preparation such as water blasting and wiping the surface dry before dry sanding.

WHAT DO WATER RESTRICTIONS MEAN?
- The Alderson sanding machine uses very little water. It needs about 2 liters per minute so 120 liters per hour – which is not much.
- The Alderson sander uses water to eliminate the spread of toxic dust and so it is used for Health & Safety reasons. According to WaterCare, water restrictions cannot rank in priority to Health & Safety, accordingly they allow the use of the Alderson sander even when water restrictions apply.
Please contact us if you need further clarification. We can also direct you to WaterCare personnel if you feel that you need to speak to them.
Surface Preparation Has Never Been This Quick
A normal dry orbital sanding system can take 8 hours or more to prep sand (not strip) half a house (50sq M) using 150 – 200 dry sanding discs. The Alderson can take just an hour to do the same job with just 1 disc which costs $16 or $0.32 per meter.
Cost Effective And Longer Lasting Discs – And – Environmentally The Best
With the Alderson primary stripping discs, it takes between 10 & 15 minutes to strip one meter and the disc should do 5-8 sq meters at a cost of about $3 per sq m. For hard lead, the disc will still take about 10-15 minutes per meter but you will only get about 1 sq meter per disc because of the hard lead. This is a maximum cost of $16 per m which is nothing compared to the $40-$50 per meter for paint stripper in the pail. The Worlds Fastest Paint Stripping Machine
ALL YOU NEED IS WATER
The water eliminates heat build up associated with dry sanding. With a water flow system designed within the machine, this will prevent the disc from clogging, no need to water blast and the slurry from lead based paints should always be collected with an Alderson Enviromat It collects 99.7% of the waste. What’s more, no need to wait for fine days to sand.
Use the fine days to paint!
