A venturi/suction system is the easiest and less expensive system to install with minimum air requirement of only 10cfm FAD continuous.

The grit/media are stored in the base of the machine known as the hopper. By passing air through a vacuum venturi chamber it causes the grit to be 'sucked up' from the storage hopper - a similar system is used by paint sprayers to spray paint.

 
This system has more in-built control and is up to FIVE TIMES FASTER than the suction system. Pressure units are capable of increasing production quotas quite dramatically against suction in similar time spans, and is capable of tackling more difficult work.

Pressure machines are supplied, as standard, with a direct mounted pressure pot fitted to the base of the cabinet.

 
These machines are purpose built and designed to blast large numbers of items in times unobtainable by any other method.

Transfer belts vary from 200mm to 500mm and can accept components to 275mm high. Components are placed on the moving apron and automatically blasted by a number of strategically placed guns giving every item a uniform finish.

 
The challenger and Chieftain machines have a positive fixed drive basket which accepts a maximum payload of 200kg. The machine has many unique design features making it one of the fastest and easiest to use. The load height is ergonomically positioned and the blasting cycle times unrivalled.

All bearings and basket drive motors are fitted outside the blast chamber, making these machines technologically designed for the new millennium.

 
Blast cleaning large components can be accommodated into a purpose built blast room. Containerised rooms can be uplifted and re-sited with little disturbance. For ease of use, blast rooms can feature swept floor, vacuum or mechanical recovery systems.

Blast rooms normally feature a service room. However, if space is at a premium, the bucket elevators, dust extractor and blast pots can be put inside.
