PowerBlast Series – Industrial Sandblasting Cabinets

Looking for even more power and performance?

Industrial PowerBlast Series Sandblasting Cabinets are the most powerful and sophisticated cabinets available on the market today. Built with strong 12-gauge steel and equipped with cutting-edge technologies, the PowerBlast Series can accomplish any heavy-duty tasks you can imagine.

Fully customizable in sizes and configurations, PowerBlast Series cabinets are delivered with powerful CDC Series high-efficiency impeller cartridge dust collector and tunable media reclaimer. For better ergonomics and performance,  various optional features can be added.

Depending on your application, you can choose between two systems to reach the best output and lower your operation costs.

Key Features

  • Delivered with a powerfull, self-cleaning cartridge dust collector able to capture up to 99.9% of particles down to 5 µm.
  • Impeller mounted on dust collector rather than cabinet to prevent abrasive wear to fan housing and impeller
  • 1.3 cubic foot pressure vessel minimizes refilling time and seals automatically for fast, easy startup (available on pressure cabinets only)
  • Tunable media reclaimer can be adjusted to control media size and contamination level
  • Easily adjustable tuning band requires no tools and controls fine size extracted from blast media
  • Rigid, dual-panel doors stand up to abrasives and seal more tightly than single-panel doors
  • Optional safety-door switches prevent accidental blasting when doors are open
  • Self-adjusting door latch ensures continued tight seal as door gaskets age
  • Simple, pneumatic controls deliver greater reliability than electric controls employing limit switches and solenoids that often stick and burn
  • Wide foot pedal enables operation with either foot (optional no-contact pedal available)
  • Air blow gun inside cabinet
  • Complies with OSHA (USA) requirements
Suction Delivery System

An economical suction-type cabinet is ideal for everyday maintenance and light-duty jobs. Compressed air (released by operator pedal or trigger gun) enters gun and creates a vacuum that draws and expels abrasive onto the workpiece.

Blasting uses the Venturi principle of sucking media from a hopper. Air jet diameter is half the interior diameter of the nozzle and, as the air stream passes through both, it creates suction which pull the media from the hopper into the air stream. Media acceleration distance from nozzle to workpiece is short (approximately 4 to 14 inches). The suction system works fine and can continuously blast as long as there is blasting media in the hopper.

However, suction systems have limits on suction capacity and propelling heavier media. Very heavy blasting media (larger steel media) cannot be conveyed into air stream with suction blasting. Nonetheless, most industrial blast cabinets use suction systems due to their lower cost and because they work well for most applications.

Pressure Delivery System

For rapid results in hard-to-reach areas, high performance pressure-type cabinets have 1.3 cubic foot pressure vessel that forces media through blasting hose and nozzle.

The pressure pot contains media that pressurizes the pot as it is energized with compressed air. When air/media mix is released from the pot, it accelerates through at least 5-10 feet of hose and then picks up even more speed as it travels through the Venturi of the nozzle. The acceleration rates of air/media mix are much higher in pressure blasting than suction blasting.

When pressure pot empties of media, it must be depressurized to be refilled with media. Pressure blasting systems are much more productive than suction systems. Additionally, pressure systems can blast all types of media regardless of weight or size, but require a minimum of 25 psi to operate.

Cyclonic Separator

This sandblast cabinet is equipped with a tunable Cyclonic Abrasive Media Separator that continuously cleans and recycles the abrasive media during blasting operations. The separator removes dust, fines, and other contaminants by directing them to the Dust Collector, allowing only clean, reusable abrasive media in good working condition to return to the cabinet. This helps maintain consistent blasting performance, reduce media consumption, and improve overall process efficiency.

Cabinets with Multiple Working Stations

PowerBlast Series Sandblasting Cabinets can be designed to accommodate large workpieces or more than one user operating simultaneously. Depending on the size of the multi-operator cabinet, it is possible to integrate a pneumatic media reclaiming system underneath the cabinet hopper in order to recover and recycle media residues just like standard size, single-operator blast cabinet.
