        "Pressure-fed P cabinets are intended for more intensive blasting, while suction-fed S cabinets provide a less aggressive treatment. SR and PR configurations use a separate recovery power pack to manage the abrasive supply. The 92PMB, 125PMB and 150PMB variants form a further pressure-fed cabinet range."
