Unique DUSTLESS VAPOuR Blast Machine Ordering Considerations

Getting the optimal blast pot for your unique needs is very important. If you are serious about blasting, you will want to ensure you get a machine that supplies you the productivity you need.

Few Golden Rules about dustless vapour sandblasting

  1. Pressure at the blast nozzle is the #1 indicator of your productivity – you need to get a balanced system
  2. If your blast pot loses more then 3psi across it, something is wrong with its design, or something needs fixed
  3. Dry air blasts 10% faster than wet air
  4. The first question we will ask a new operator is what size compressor do you have
  5. The faster you blast, the more money you make

Electric or Pneumatic Operating Systems Options

Pneumatic Blast Pot Controls

Pneumatic system is the most common in Australia, the deadman system uses the air that comes from the compressor.

If you are going to be blasting with a hose longer then 40 metres, you will need to upgrade to an electric deadman system, so the operator doesn’t have a delayed pot shutdown in the case of an accident.

Electric Blast Pot Controls

Electric Deadman’s are 12volt operator. If you are a contractor working on multiple jobsites, you will typically hook it up to a battery, so make sure you buy some battery leads that will power your system. If you are using electric deadman in a fixed installation, you can buy a 240/12volt transformer to run your system.

All metering valves and deadman control lines are pneumatic, but the deadman cable that goes to the operator and tells the blast pot controls when to start and stop will be electric.

Moisture Removal System Options

The need for having dry air for blasting makes an AirPrep one of the most important components of your dustless vapour Blasting Equipment. The size of your moisture separator depends on the size of your blast nozzle, the larger your nozzle, the more capacity your air dryer needs. If you don’t use a moisture separator, your abrasive will get damp inside the blast pot and will not flow freely into the blasting stream – you will simply be wasting abrasive.

We do not recommend contractors use a typical MSC Style moisture separator because they don’t remove enough moisture and they lose valuable pressure.
