3.8 Cleaning Media (Abrasive)
Blastrac provides a variety of specially sized, high quality abrasive for Blastrac shot
cleaning systems. This steel abrasive is made of high quality martensitic steel to
provide long operating life and minimal abrasive breakdown.
The 1-8DEZ is designed to operate with abrasive in sizes S-110 through S-330. The
selection of proper abrasive is very important to the performance of the Blastrac shot
cleaning system. Your Blastrac representative can help with the proper selection of
abrasive for your particular application.
The steel abrasive causes minimum wear on the internal blast components. The dust
and contaminants are the principal causes of component wear. A well-maintained
ventilation system will minimize abrasive contamination, which helps reduce operating
costs and increases the overall efficiency of the shotblasting system.
