Put Down that Blast Nozzle! How to select and optimize wet or vapor abrasive blasting equipment

Vapor/wet blasting is proving to be an attractive method for surface preparation of steel, concrete, wood and other substrates. By using just enough media and water to suppress dust and achieve the desired production rates, Vapor Abrasive® blasting avoids the dusty side effects of dry blasting and the messy runoff generated by wet blasting. To achieve optimal results in Vapor Abrasive® blasting, the system must be properly matched for the job at hand.

By using just enough media and water to suppress dust and achieve the desired production rates, Vapor Abrasive® blasting avoids the dusty side effects of dry blasting and the messy runoff generated by wet blasting. To achieve optimal results in Vapor Abrasive® blasting, the system must be properly matched for the job at hand. After choosing a system, the selection of the right equipment - compressor, blast nozzle, blast hose, and media - along with proper system settings will help maximize efficiency and profit. This paper is intended to provide contractors with an overview of factors to consider before selecting a system and the equipment, and how to maximize performance by adjusting system settings.
