Stationary Blast Equipment

We rent, sell and service new and used stationary abrasive blasting equipment. Clean dry compressed air is required for all dry stationary blasting systems and the amount of air (cfm) available will also determine how big of a blast nozzle you can utilize, which in turn determines your production rate. Aside from the substrate of the surface you are preparing, your choice of wet or dry stationary abrasive blasting equipment and the type & size of the abrasive media to be used; all play an important roll in achieving the desired finish.

Our application engineers will help you select the best stationary abrasive blasting equipment for your application and budget.

Dry Abrasive Blast Cabinets

Most manual dry abrasive blast cabinets recycle abrasive media while you blast and in order for this to happen there must be some form of a reclaimer before the dust collection system. Typically the operator manipulates the part from the outside of the dry abrasive blast cabinet while viewing through a window, but there are models that have a fixed blast gun and the operator would manipulate the part into the blast stream. Depending on the application and volume/production rate required play an important roll in your choice of a suction feed or direct pressure blast cabinet. Note: there is a significant cost differential between the two

If you are unsure which dry abrasive blast cabinets will best meet your needs, our application engineers will help you configure your system for optimum ROI.

Wet (Slurry) Abrasive Blasting Cabinets

Wet or slurry

Wet abrasive blasting cabinets may use media mixed with water.

If you are unsure which wet abrasive blasting cabinets and media will best meet your needs, our application engineers will help you configure your system for optimum ROI.

Configuration of Wet Abrasive Blasting Cabinets

Configuration considerations for your wet abrasive blasting cabinets include:

  • Abrasive mixed with water to approximately 20% (by volume) concentration
  • Cushioning effect of the water plus denser abrasive –carrying medium (water versus air) creates gentle scouring action on substrates
    • Can generate pseudo-honed surfaces
  • “Dust-free” and “static-free” abrasive blasting
  • Can be combined with other processes to lower production costs:
    • Such as rust prevention or passivation
  • Units come with integrated water filtration systems
  • Available in manual, semi-automatic, or fully-automatic modes

    Some of the options available are:

    • Media density monitor
    • Multiple guns
    • Turntables
    • Vertical or Horizontal oscillation
    • Heated rinse and/or slurry
    • Oil & Grease separation
    • Cyclonic separator (change out blast media)

  • Ideal for coating and rust removal, cosmetic finishing, and shot peening
  • Can use all grades of conventional abrasive media, except steel
  • Cabinets available in either Stainless Steel or Polycarbonate materials
  • blast rooms

Abrasive Blasting Rooms

Abrasive blasting rooms improve safety, reduce operating costs and improve ROI. Typically these rooms are used for blasting clean or finishing the surfaces of very large parts and/or complete assemblies. Usually a blast room is configured to separate the blast media and the resulting debris from the environment as well as providing the operator(s) the protection of a controlled work space. The operator(s) can add more aggressive abrasive media as the room recycles it to create a seasoned mix (recycled & new) which helps in reducing blast time and media costs.

If you are unsure which blast room and media will best meet your needs, our application engineers will help you configure your system for optimum ROI.

Centrifugal Wheel Abrasive Blasting

Centrifugal wheel abrasive blasting is when the abrasive is fed into a spinning wheel and using that centrifugal force instead of air or a liquid (water) to propel abrasive media. Typically for high-power blasting, centrifugal wheel abrasive blasting uses recyclable abrasive media in a closed cabinet type configuration. Correctly sizing the blasting equipment and the selection of the appropriate media has a significant effect on its operating costs.

If you are unsure which centrifugal wheel abrasive blasting equipment and media will best meet your needs, our application engineers will help you configure your system for optimum ROI.

Configuration of Centrifugal Wheel Abrasive Blasting Equipment

Configuration considerations for your centrifugal wheel abrasive blasting equipment are primarily based on part geometry:

  • Uses high-speed rotating bladed-wheel to accelerate the abrasive rather than compressed air
  • Does not require compressed air
  • Ideal for covering large areas or for batch processing
  • Typical applications include:
    • Cleaning Castings (Die, Sand, Brass, etc.)
    • Weldments
  • Available in the following configurations:
    • Tumbleblast
    • Basket or Barrel
    • Spinner-Hanger
    • Table Blaster
    • Conveyorized pass-through
    • Blast Room (multiple wheels and turntables can be considered)
