Tips On Media Blasting; How
To Make It Work Better And
Effective
•
Proper tools and Equipment
– One of the main reasons people sometimes have difficulty in is operating a
media blaster when the compressor is not able to move at the same rate
with the blaster. When you go to purchase yourself a blaster or if you
already own one, make sure you check the ratings in contrast to your
compressor.
– For those who use a blaster for industrial purposes, the pressure should be
set to 80-100 PSI at the nozzle. If the pressure is kept any less than this, the
blaster will not be able to properly remove the material since the required
force is not there. If the blaster is running above 100-120 PSI, it will outdo
the blaster tank and lead the media to collapse.
•
Hose Shape and Length
– While having a long hose might be nice, the functioning and potential of your
blaster will be affected drastically. Though you might find it inconvenient,
keep the length of your air hose short as you possibly can. Also, make sure
that the hose is free of kinks and bends.
•
Strat Fresh with a new air filter
– It is suggested that for each blasting project you start with, you use a brand
new disposable air filter. This will be a small price to pay to evade the
accumulation of wet clumps obstructing your pressure blaster.
