Blast Media Information

Blast Media Questions?

Our pressurized tank blaster is capable of delivering several types of common blasting media.

Choosing the right media to get the desired results for your particular project may involve some “trial and error”. Changing the ceramic nozzle size will yield different blast patterns and removal capabilities. Increasing or decreasing the air pressure in the tank effects your results. The distance you hold the blast gun from the surface being blasted makes a difference.

And of course, using the correct media is the most important factor. Think of it as choosing the correct sandpaper of which there are many types and grits available, all for different materials, results and purposes.

Whatever media you use must be clean, dry and consist of evenly sized grains . This tank blaster has no moving parts and does not “break down”. Using contaminated or unsuitable media causes clogging, which is the most common problem. We highly recommend that an air drier be installed between your air compressor and the tank blaster to prevent moisture from entering the tank.
