System Options / Component Types




   System Options / Component Types:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Cabinet / Enclosure
 
     Blast cabinets are glovebox-like vessels that hold the workpiece and the blasting process.  Blast cabinets usually consist of a chamber with glove ports, viewing window and internal lighting.  The workpieces rest on an open grid that allows used abrasive to drop through for recycling.
 
   Cutting Booth / Room
 
     Blast rooms or enclosed blasting booths contain the blasting process when blasting larger workpieces.  Blast cabinets usually consist of a room with internal lighting that holds both the workpiece and the operator.  The operator may hold the blasting nozzle on the end of a lance.  The workpieces rest on open grid flooring that allows used abrasive to drop through for recycling.
 
   Cutting Head / Gun
 
     The cutting head directs the stream of water or abrasives and carrier (water or air) at the appropriate region of the workpiece.
 
   Abrasive Injector
 
     System component used to move abrasives from a storage vessel to the nozzle, gun, head or wheel.  The injection or metering system controls the amount of abrasive pushed into the air or water stream. In large systems, the delivery system and injection system may be separate components.
 
   Hopper / Tank
 
     Tank or hopper for storage of dry abrasive grains, blasting media or abrasive-water slurry mixtures.
 
   Pressure Generator 
 
     The pressure generator increases the pressure of the carrier fluid (water or air).  Plunger-type intensifier pumps are commonly used to generate high pressure water for water jet cutting, wet or water abrasive blasting and non-abrasive pressure washing or rinsing. Crankshaft driven plunger pumps are also used for pressure generation.  Crankshaft driven plunger pumps may be more efficient in electrical energy costs compared to intensifiers, but at high pressures (>20,00 psi) seals must be periodically replaced.  Crankshaft driven plunger pumps also provide a virtually ripple free pressure source in comparison to intensifiers.  An accumulator may be required to smooth out pressure fluctuations if an intensifier pump is used.  In air based blast or jet systems, air compressors are typically used to generate pressure.
 
   Dust Collection / Filtration System
 
     Dust collection or filtration systems remove fine particle sizes of abrasive, media and blasting waste (removed scale or stock in the form of dust or fine swarf) that would otherwise become suspended in the air.
 
   Abrasive Separator / Reclaimer
 
     In blast machines, separators or reclaimers remove undersized abrasive or media and blasting coarse waste (removed scale or stock in the form of swarf).
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary component.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Multiple Heads / Nozzles?
 
     Machines employing or capable of using multiple nozzles or blast wheels.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

Machine Mounting




   Machine Mounting:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Bench / Pedestal
 
     The machine is small enough or has features for mounting on a bench or pedestal.
 
   Crawler / Track
 
     Abrasive blasting, waterjet or abrasive jet head designed for mounting on crawlers or tracks.  Crawlers are small vehicles that grab onto a surface with magnetic or vacuum feet mounted on a set of tracks.  Track mounted units use a track to guide the jet cutter head across the surface.  The track is mounted to the tank or vessel to be cut or blasted with vacuum or magnetic clamps.   Crawler or track based blasters or cutters are used on large surfaces such as the side of a steel tank, ship's hull, vehicle or building wall, the blast stream or abrasive jet is presented to and scanned or guided across the surface for cutting or cleaning.  Crawler or track mounted can uniformly clean or roughen a surface by scanning a surface in a controlled and repeatable fashion.  Track, robotic arm or crawler mounted jet cutters are also useful in hazardous situations such as in disarming a bomb or mine.
 
   Cart / Handtruck
 
     The machine can be mounted on or built into a cart or handtruck.
 
   Floor / Skid
 
     The machine can be mounted on the floor or a skid in a freestanding position.
 
   Portable Machine
 
     The machine is capable of being carried or transported to the worksite, plant or field area requiring blasting or jet cutting.  The machine is not designed for fixed location.
 
   Robotic / Articulated Arm
 
     Robotic arms can uniformly clean or roughen a surface by scanning a surface in a controlled and repeatable fashion.  Jet cutter mounted on crawlers or robotic arms are also useful in hazardous situations such as in disarming a bomb or mine.
 
   Trailer / Vehicle
 
     The machine can be mounted on or built into a trailer or vehicle.  The trailer or vehicle is driven or towed to the worksite requiring blasting or jet cutting such as the side of a steel tank, ship's hull or building wall.
