This system allows us to blast continuously all day.
We also have three inline water separators. We run 50' of hose between the compressor and a 150 gal catch tank and another 50' of hose to the blast pot. We are now using a 350 lbs commercial blaster pulled by a 200 CFM diesel compressor. Now, if you are not in a hurry and have the time this may not seem bad, but if you got to get it done. It will also help to keep you from burning it up, but if your compressor is under sized you need to give it frequent breaks. Matching your tip size to the CFM of your compressor will help. I have two of these (small one and a large one) that I haveīlasting is more about the CFM than the HP of your compressor. With that said, if you get it set it will to a good job, but they are for smaller jobs where you have plenty of time. Moisture is your biggest issue, but the problem with the hobby style pot blasters is that the metering system is just a basic ball valve, which will make you pull your hair out even with the best conditions.

We do a lot of blasting with our PC shop so I have been through the learning curve. I currently use very expensive carbide media. Since you can't get that any more, I have never found a replacement that was as good or cost effective. You can also use the small suction blasters that draw from a bucket, as long as your mindful not to run for long periods of time.Īs far as media goes, nothing beat #2 silica for cost effective rust removal, especially where recycling is not possible. I suggest you stay with a cup blaster, I use one for small jobs, similar to this:, and farm out what you can't easily do with that. This requires a dryer, and it's going to have to be large to handle the volume. Water traps, and filters will not remove the water vapor that has not condensed, and that is the problem. Which means you can save a lot of money by having it professionally done. You can blast smaller items, but the cost of having high volumes of dry air for sand blasting large items, is prohibitive for most small operations. And if it is a pressure pot, like motor seven uses, your wetting down your media. Not addressing the moisture issue, means your wetting down the freshly cleaned metal with condensate, which for steel, is less than ideal. Which makes steady high volume air delivery even more of an issue. based on current draw, instead of bogus market driven tests, (they lie a lot). Most of the ones they sell today are really between 2-4 hp. If your 5 hp compressor does not have a magnetic starter switch, it is not really even a true 5 hp compressor.

Please note that this is real-time, beginning when the offer ends. A good sand blaster will tax a 10 hp commercial compressor, and that means you will make a ton of water. If payment has not been received by the fourth 4th day after offer ends, then buyer will have four 4 additional days to make.
