6 Cu Ft Contractor Blast Machine Field portable, high-production, single chamber blast machine, rated at 150 psi, (for one operator). Holds 6 cubic feet of blast media. Equipped with Millennium pneumatic remote controls and Quantum manual metering valve.
Purpose: High- performance blast cleaning system removes corrosion, mill scale, and coatings from most surfaces . Produces a uniform surface texture , and creates a surface profile to increase bonding for coatings. See related literature for additional applications. Machine holds 6 cubic feet of abrasive for up to 30 minutes of continuous blasting at 100 psi with standard No. 6 nozzle (3/8-inch orifice).
Requirements for Operation: These items are required but not included with this equipment.
Clean, dry, compressed air of sufficient volume to maintain desired pressure at the nozzle . See Air Consumption Chart in Blast Off 2 booklet.
Maximum working pressure 150 psi
Minimum pressure 30 psi needed to operate OSHA- required remote control valves
NIOSH-approved supplied-air respirator
Grade D breathing- air supply as defined by the Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification: G-7.1
Abrasive blast media - consult abrasive supplier for appropriate media for your application
Blast suit and work boots
Description of Operation: The operator controls blasting from a remote control handle at the nozzle. Pressing the handle starts blasting, releasing it stops blasting. The blast machine contains abrasive and meters it into the compressed air stream.
Note: For safe, efficient blasting, read and follow the owner's manual and seek training for everyone who will use this equipment.
