FAQs
What air compressor size do I need?
You need an air compressor capable of maintaining 60-120 PSI. A compressor with a higher CFM rating is recommended for continuous blasting.
Can I use beach sand in this unit?
No. Using non-specialized sand can introduce moisture and impurities that will cause clogs and pose a significant respiratory health risk.
How long is the blasting hose?
The unit is supplied with an 8ft heavy-duty blasting hose.
What safety gear should I wear?
Always wear a sandblasting hood or full-face respirator, gloves, and protective clothing to protect against flying debris and dust.
How often should I change the nozzles?
This depends on the abrasiveness of the media and frequency of use. Inspect the nozzle orifice periodically; if it becomes enlarged or uneven, replace it.
Troubleshooting
Inconsistent media flow
Check the media metering valve for blockages or ensure that the abrasive media is completely dry and free of clumps.
Pressure drops during operation
Verify that your air compressor meets the 60-120 PSI requirement and that the air hose is not kinked or leaking.
Nozzle clogging
Ensure only high-quality, sieved blasting media is used and inspect the nozzle for physical obstructions.
