1 cu. ft.

High-performance, versatile blast cleaning system removes contamination, corrosion, mill scale, and coatings from most surfaces. Produces a uniform surface texture, and creates a surface profile to increase bonding for coatings.

Model 1042 holds 1 cubic foot of abrasive providing approximately 15 minutes of blasting at 80 psi with a No. 4 (1/4") nozzle.

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. Refer to Air Consumption Charts.
• Minimum of 50 psi needed to close the pop-up valve and pressurize the blast machine.
• OSHA-required remote control system that interrupts blasting if operator should lose control of the nozzle when blast machine is pressurized.
• NIOSH-approved, type CE, supplied-air respirator.
• Grade D breathing-air supply as defined by Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification: G-7.1 (Refer to www.cganet.com).
• Abrasive blast media specifically marketed for abrasive blasting and appropriate for your application.
• Appropriate blast suit, work boots, hearing and eye protection.

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.

Advantages

• Yard portable, industrial-quality blast machines manufactured to ASME code.
• 1-1/4-inch piping allows up to 50 percent more air flow when compared with 1-inch piping.
• Industrial-quality valves, piping and fittings designed to maximize air flow and minimize energy required to operate the system.
• FSV abrasive metering valve maintains smooth, consistent, adjustable media flow. Model 2443 Lo-Pot has a LPV abrasive metering valve.
