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. 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.
• Minimum 30 psi needed to operate OSHA-required remote control valves
• Blast suit and work boots
• Abrasive blast media - consult abrasive supplier for appropriate media for your application
• Compressed air source capable of delivering 20 cfm (at 90 to 100 psi) of Grade D breathing-air as defined by the Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification: G-7.1

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. Field portable, high-production, single chamber blast machine system, rated at 150 psi, for one operator. Holds 6 cubic
feet of blast media. Equipped with Millennium pneumatic remote controls.
Advantages
• Rated for 150-psi maximum working pressure
• 1-1/2-inch Millennium valve provides unrestricted air flow
• Quantum metering valve maintains smooth, consistent flow; adjustment knob allows precise control of media flow
• 1-1/4-inch piping allows up to 50 percent increase in air flow, when compared to standard 1-inch piping
• 29-inch width fits through standard doorways with moisture separator removed
• CPF-20 breathing air filter, installed
• Four-wheel integral cart for ease of moving
• Robust handles act as skid for loading machine into pickup or trailer and protect valves and piping from damage
• Central hookup point for blast hose and remote controls
• High-efficiency moisture separator helps keep abrasive dry
• Weather-resistant storage area holds manuals, paperwork and small parts
• State-of-the-art NIOSH-approved respirator with DLX comfort-fit suspension.
