How the Right Pot Choice and System Set Up Can Improve Blasting Efficiency

How the Right Pot Choice and System Set Up Can Improve Blasting Efficiency
Available for download

Shot and grit blasting has been around for many years, but are we getting the most from our systems? This paper looks at the various adjustable parameters that can and do affect the productivity (yardage), media usage and effectiveness of a blasting operation.  Air flow, pressure and nozzle size all contribute to the efficiency and yardage achievable by a blast pot.

Shot and grit blasting has been around for many years, but are we getting the most from our systems? This paper looks at the various adjustable parameters that can and do affect the productivity (yardage), media usage and effectiveness of a blasting operation.  Air flow, pressure and nozzle size all contribute to the efficiency and yardage achievable by a blast pot. Pot and valve design will contribute both positively and negatively to these variables but correct set up is imperative for efficient blasting.  Improvement in pot and valve designs can lead to huge gains for the blaster and with some simple, logical adjustment and/or upgrades the changes recommended here will help you get the most from your pot.

Blistering is a common failure in marine coatings that can be caused by both physical, such as osmotic pressure and temperature gradients, and electrochemical forces like cathodic or anodic polarization. This paper/presentation will start by discussing the various mechanisms that lead to coating blistering, how blisters form, and how to prevent them.

Using dehumidification for coatings and preservation has been a widely accepted practice for several decades. Over that time, both the coatings and the dehumidification equipment have grown in complexity. While this has made dehumidification more prevalent than ever, it also has made determining what you need as well as actually getting what you need more complicated than ever.
