Blasting Systems

Siphon blast cabinets and pressure blast cabinets are the two main types of abrasive sandblasting cabinets that exist on the market. The two have some distinct differences in how they operate. A siphon/suction abrasive blasting cabinet is mostly used for light production and general cleaning of parts and objects.

A siphon blaster works by using a suction gun with an air jet to pull blast media through a hose and deliver that media to a blast nozzle, where it is then propelled at high speed into the cabinet. Siphon abrasive sandblasting equipment is easier to set up, but it takes more blasting pressure to achieve maximum abrasive impact. Because of this, suction abrasive blasting cabinets will leave a less pronounced anchor pattern than a direct pressure cabinet using the same blast media.

A pressure sandblasting cabinet uses a pressurized vessel (like a pressure pot) filled with blast media, which forces the media through a blast nozzle. Pressure sandblasting is significantly faster and more aggressive than suction sandblasting.

An abrasive sandblasting machine is equipment that uses pressure blasting techniques to clean rust, paint, and other kinds of contamination from metallic parts. The main use of an abrasive blasting machine is to clean metals that are used in the construction industry, ships, etc.

Portable abrasive sandblasting equipment is used worldwide in a variety of applications. Whether it’s offshore, marine, civil, general engineering, and maintenance, or building and stone cleaning, Portable blasting equipment typically uses a pressure blasting technique; however, many hobbyists and DIYers use small, hand-help siphons and gravity blasters.

Types of Abrasive Blasting Equipment

Different types of Abrasive Blasting Equipment are available for different applications and production requirements:

• Suction Blasting Cabinets – suitable for light production and general cleaning
• Direct Pressure Cabinets – designed for faster and more aggressive blasting
• Portable Pressure Systems – suitable for large parts and job-site applications
• Tumble Blasting Systems – designed for batch processing of smaller parts
• Blast Room Systems – suitable for larger parts and contained industrial blasting

The right system depends on the size and material of the parts, production volume, abrasive media, required blasting pressure, and desired surface finish.

Choosing the Right Blasting Equipment

Choosing the right Abrasive Blasting Equipment starts with understanding the part, application, and desired result. Smaller parts and lower-volume applications may be suitable for cabinet systems, while larger parts or job-site applications may require portable systems.

The abrasive media should also be compatible with the equipment and application. Different media have different hardness, size, shape, and cutting characteristics, so selecting the equipment and media together can help achieve the required surface result.

Before selecting Abrasive Blasting Equipment, consider:

• Size and shape of the parts
• Part material
• Production volume
• Type of surface contamination
• Required surface preparation
• Abrasive media
• Required blasting pressure
• Cabinet or portable operation
• Manual or automated processing
• Dust collection and media recovery requirements

Abrasive blast systems can also be customized with features such as specialized work areas, turntables, track systems, media recovery, and dust collection to support specific processing requirements.

A sand blasting machine can be used for cleaning rust, removing paint and coatings, preparing surfaces, removing scale, and other surface treatment applications. The machine configuration, abrasive media, pressure, and blasting technique should be selected according to the material and desired result.

Kramer Industries offers Abrasive Blasting Equipment for applications ranging from general cleaning and surface preparation to aggressive coating removal and industrial production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. What equipment is needed for sandblasting?

A typical sandblasting setup can include a blasting system or cabinet, air compressor, blast hose, nozzle, abrasive media, and appropriate protective equipment. Depending on the application, additional equipment such as dust collection and media recovery may also be required.

Q2. What is used in abrasive blasting?

Abrasive blasting uses compressed air or another blasting method to propel abrasive media against a surface. Common media include aluminum oxide, glass beads, silicon carbide, steel grit, steel shot, plastic media, and other materials selected according to the surface and desired result.

Q3. What is the difference between abrasive blasting and sandblasting?

Abrasive blasting is the broader process of using abrasive media to clean, strip, prepare, or finish a surface. Sandblasting is commonly used as a general term for this process, although modern abrasive blasting can use many different media instead of traditional sand.

Q4. What is the difference between suction and pressure blasting?

Suction or siphon systems use an air jet to draw abrasive media into the blast stream, while pressure systems use a pressurized vessel to propel the media. Suction systems are generally suited to lighter applications, while pressure systems provide faster and more aggressive blasting.

Q5. What is the difference between a pressure blast cabinet and a suction blast cabinet?

A pressure blast cabinet uses a pressurized vessel to force abrasive media through the blast nozzle, while a suction cabinet uses an air jet to draw media into the blast stream. Pressure systems generally provide faster, more aggressive blasting, while suction systems are commonly used for lighter-duty cleaning and finishing applications.
