Process arrangement
The blast head and recovery circuit operate together so spent abrasive, dust and debris are collected continuously. Reusable abrasive is separated and returned to the blast gun, reducing manual handling between passes.
Application range
- Rust and heat-scale removal
- Weld preparation and post-weld cleaning
- Preparation before painting, bonding or plating
- Localized removal of damaged coatings
- Print-roll etching when used with a lathe
Selection factors
Choose the recovery method and abrasive-duty variant around the work location, available utilities and media type. The portable format suits on-site work and custom applications where a fixed blast cabinet is impractical.
Operating boundary
Actual containment and recovery performance depends on the selected head, seal against the workpiece, abrasive and extraction setup. Confirm compressed-air demand, electrical supply and media compatibility for the configured unit before production use.
