MMLJ Inc

Our equipment provides the most effective and economical results available from the blast cleaning equipment industry today. The MMLJ products are known for being Modern, Simplest, Trouble-Free, Efficient, Economical and Versatile.

Sanstorm is Modern because its operational design principle is in direct contrast to other equipment - thereby assuring a non-plugging operation with constant abrasive discharge and positive abrasive control. These are the two utmost important factors necessary for an efficient and economical production.

Sanstorm is Simplest because of the air-abrasive mixing area, no wearing parts to effect the abrasive adjustment. Controlled positive abrasive adjustment results.

Sanstorm is Trouble-Free because the abrasive does not stop or plug during operation. Any parts subjected to the air-abrasive stream are produced from highest abrasion resistant materials, such as special hardened alloy steel, rubber, and tungsten carbide, which enhance the Trouble-Free characteristic.

Sanstorm is Efficient and Economical because its positive regulated air-abrasive mixture does the work without abrasive waste and its non-plugging features avoid the costly delays of "down-time" and up to 30% savings in blast media.

Sanstorm is Versatile because it uses any type abrasive, regardless of weather it is sand, steel grit, aluminum oxide, nut shells or granulated corn cobs which will slide freely on a 45 degree angle, without special accessory adapters or equipment in any form.

MMLJ provides many Registered Contractor benefits including support, marketing and job referrals. Our Specialized Training teaches you job costing and certifies you as a factory trained blaster.

Sanstorm's History

Sanstorm was born in 1941 when F.H. Roselle patented his creation, the Abrasive Blasting Machine.

By 1946, the company had formed in Fresno, California as Myers Welding & Fabrication. In that same year, Bill Myers received a patent for the critical piece of the sandblasting technology - the control valve – and from there, the company took off! The owner, Bill Myers, and his two sons, Don and Robert, began manufacturing and selling this new technology. In the early years, the company also hired Charlie Spears. Charlie would eventually become the driving force behind Myers as president and CEO.

Their sandblasting patents progressed when Bill Myers received yet another patent on the wet head adapter in 1955. From there, the company was purchased by Big 3 Industries in 1968. Big 3 had always been one of Myers’ largest customers, so it was a natural and logical progression, to support their own usage. Big 3 Industries reserved Sanstorm technology from public marketing, using it only as internal machinery.

In spite of that, the company grew and moved to Houston, Texas in 1970, where the company and manufacturing remain to this day.

In1986 Air Liquide purchased Sanstorm and Bowen Tools from Big 3 Industries. In 1988 Sanstorm was incorporated.

In 1994 Sanstorm was purchased by MMLJ, who was focusing on other developments, SodaBlasting. SodaBlast Systems was launched while Sanstorm customers were supported.

The basic Sanstorm having been abandoned for over 24 years, only to find customers and distributors alike still supporting the quality machines purchased prior to that period. That need thrust the Sanstorm technology back into the spotlight, since it is still the best and most efficient machine available.

Sanstorm systems have been upgraded many times over the years from the days of the “pot tenders” to today serving up OSHA compliant machines, always keeping the no clog, trouble free, efficiency in mind. Sanstorm is still the best no clog abrasive blasting machine available.
