HELPFUL HINTS
1.
Air compressor choice
: Secure an air compressor that has
the capacity to produce a high volume (cfm) and high-pressure
(psi) of moisture –free air.
You must maintain a constant air pressure, not high one minute and
low the next, it must be constant.
2.
Air supply line
: Keep the air lines as short as possible.
DO NOT
reduce the air line down to a quick disconnect when
attaching it to your blast equipment. In order to maintain the
high CFM and PSI you need at the blast nozzle; we suggest
using a minimum ½” I.D. air line from your compressor to the
blast machine.
3.
Blast Nozzles
: the blast nozzle size and design will
determine the cfm of air required. The larger the nozzle, the
greater the cfm needed.
4. As you begin blasting, record all data, compressor delivery
pressure, nozzle size (I.D.), regulator pressure, and abrasive
type and mesh size. When you are totally satisfied with your
results, be sure to record all data for future use and reference
.
