Overview
Blast cabinets are enclosed workstations that use abrasive media propelled by compressed air or wheelblast to clean, etch, or finish parts. They come in benchtop, walk-in, and production sizes, with features like media reclaim systems, dust collectors, and interchangeable nozzles. Ideal for surface preparation, rust removal, paint stripping, and deburring, blast cabinets protect operators while containing dust and providing repeatable surface finishes for industrial and restoration work.
FAQ
What should I check when buying a used blast cabinet?
Inspect cabinet seals, viewing window condition, glove integrity, nozzle and hose wear, reclaim system operation, dust collector condition, and any electrical controls. Verify dimensions, workdoor fit, and that the compressor meets required CFM/PSI.
How should a blast cabinet be shipped?
Drain media and liquids, secure moving parts, block the door, and palletize or crate the unit. Use a carrier experienced with industrial equipment and confirm weight, dimensions, and lift points for safe handling.
What routine maintenance does a blast cabinet need?
Regularly replace abrasive media, inspect and replace nozzles and venturis, change gloves and seals as needed, empty and maintain the dust collector, check reclaim screens and pumps, and keep compressor filters clean.
