SS Series – Industrial Grade, Suction Style, Abrasive Media Blasting Cabinet
The SS Series, Industrial Suction Sandblaster Cabinet is the most economical and commonly used blast cabinet. Designed for small shops and light production areas, the siphon/suction systems are ideal for quick blasting and surface prep. The SS Series can be used with all types of dry abrasive blast media.
SS Series Suction Systems | Media Blast Cabinets for Industrial Surface Preparation
The SS Series Suction Systems are industrial-grade suction-style abrasive blasting cabinets designed for small shops, light production areas, and applications that require quick blasting and surface preparation. A Media Blast Cabinet provides an enclosed environment for cleaning and finishing parts while helping contain abrasive media and dust. The suction, or siphon, operating method makes the SS Series an economical and practical choice for a wide range of industrial blasting requirements.
As a Suction Blast Cabinet, the system mixes compressed air with abrasive media and directs the mixture toward the workpiece through the blast gun. This approach is well suited to paint stripping, surface preparation, scale removal, etching, peening, and cleaning. The available cabinet sizes allow users to select equipment according to part size, available workspace, and production requirements.
The SS Series is designed to work with nearly all dry abrasive blasting media, giving operators flexibility to select media based on the substrate and desired surface result. For businesses evaluating an Industrial Blast Cabinet for regular cleaning and surface-preparation work, the system combines industrial-grade construction, media recycling, dust collection, and straightforward operation. Kramer Industries offers multiple cabinet configurations to accommodate different shop and part sizes.

A Media Blast Cabinet is useful when abrasive blasting needs to be performed in a controlled enclosure rather than in an open environment. The SS Series supports common industrial processes such as removing rust, paint, scale, and machining marks as well as preparing parts for coatings. It can also be used for decorative etching and other applications where controlled abrasive action is required.
A Suction Blast Cabinet differs from a direct-pressure system in the way abrasive media reaches the blast gun. In a suction system, airflow draws the abrasive into the blast stream. This configuration is commonly used for general-purpose blasting, quick cleaning, and surface-preparation applications where the higher productivity of a direct-pressure system may not be necessary.
For shops comparing different cabinet configurations, the SS Series provides options ranging from compact bench equipment to larger cabinets for bigger workpieces and production requirements. This allows a business to select an Industrial Blast Cabinet according to the parts being processed instead of using an oversized system for smaller applications. Kramer Industries also provides options for dust collection and abrasive separation depending on the cabinet configuration and process requirements.
Media recovery can help reduce abrasive waste during repeated blasting. Abrasive that remains suitable for use can be recycled through the system, while an optional separator can help remove contaminants before the media is returned to the blasting process. This is particularly useful when parts contain paint, rust, corrosion, or other material that can contaminate reusable abrasive.
The SS Series can be considered when a facility needs a blasting abrasive suction unit for routine surface finishing without moving to a direct-pressure cabinet. A blasting abrasive suction unit is suitable for applications where ease of operation, cabinet versatility, and economical blasting are priorities. The appropriate setup should still be selected according to the workpiece, abrasive media, desired finish, production volume, and available compressed air.
Compressed-air capacity is an important consideration when choosing any Media Blast Cabinet. Air demand varies according to the gun, air jet, nozzle configuration, and operating conditions. Rather than selecting a compressor based on a general CFM recommendation, users should match the available air supply to the requirements of the specific SS Series configuration being operated.
For buyers searching for an industrial blasting cabinet manufacturer, equipment construction, cabinet size, dust collection, media recovery, replacement parts, and application support should all be considered. Kramer Industries supplies the SS Series in multiple sizes and configurations, allowing the cabinet to be matched more closely to the workpiece and production environment. Buyers evaluating an industrial blasting cabinet manufacturer should also consider whether the available equipment supports the abrasive media and surface treatment required for their process.
The SS Series is particularly relevant to small shops and light-production environments where quick blasting and surface preparation are regular requirements. A Media Blast Cabinet in this type of environment can support repeatable cleaning and finishing while keeping abrasive blasting contained within the cabinet. Different access configurations also make it possible to accommodate a range of part sizes.
For applications involving painted, rusted, or corroded parts, separating reusable abrasive from contaminants can help maintain more consistent blasting performance. The optional abrasive separator available for these systems is designed to remove dust and fine contamination while returning reusable media to the cabinet. This supports media efficiency while reducing unnecessary waste during repeated processing.
Kramer Industries provides the SS Series as an economical suction-style option within its industrial abrasive blasting equipment range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much CFM of air do I need to blast a cabinet?
The required CFM depends on the blast gun, air jet, nozzle size, operating pressure, and cabinet configuration. Different SS Series models have different compressed-air requirements, so the compressor should be matched to the specifications of the selected system rather than using one CFM figure for every cabinet.
What is the best sandblaster cabinet?
The best cabinet depends on the workpiece size, production volume, abrasive media, compressed-air capacity, required surface finish, and blasting method. A Media Blast Cabinet such as the SS Series is suited to general industrial cleaning and surface preparation where economical suction-style blasting is appropriate.
What are the common problems with sand blasting cabinets?
Common performance issues can include poor visibility, inadequate dust collection, contaminated or worn abrasive media, moisture in the compressed-air supply, insufficient airflow, worn nozzles, and inconsistent media flow. Routine inspection of the air supply, blast gun, abrasive media, dust collector, and related components can help maintain consistent operation.
What is a suction blast cabinet used for?
A Suction Blast Cabinet is commonly used for paint stripping, cleaning, rust and scale removal, surface preparation, etching, peening, and machining-mark removal. Suction-style systems are especially useful for general-purpose blasting and applications where economical, easy-to-operate equipment is preferred.
What abrasive media can be used in a media blast cabinet?
Media selection depends on the cabinet, substrate, and required finish. The SS Series is designed for use with nearly all dry abrasive blasting media, allowing operators to choose an abrasive appropriate for cleaning, stripping, surface preparation, etching, or other finishing requirements.
