Which blast pot do you need?
Choosing the right blast pot depends on more than vessel capacity. The abrasive, required blasting time, available compressed air and nozzle configuration all influence the setup. Airblast offers Blue and Red blast pots in different capacities, as well as bulk blasting systems for larger-scale applications.
| Range | Available capacities | Working pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Blue blast pots | 18, 60, 100, 140, 200 and 280 L | 12 bar |
| Red blast pots | 18, 50, 100 and 200 L | 12 bar |
| Bulk blasting systems | Project-specific | Configuration-specific |
A smaller blast pot provides a more compact setup, while a larger vessel holds more abrasive between refills. The required capacity should therefore be considered together with the complete blasting process.
How to select the right blast pot
A blast pot works as part of a complete abrasive blasting system. When selecting a setup, consider the following four factors.
Blast pot capacity
Consider how much abrasive the application requires and how long you need to blast between refills. Airblast Blue blast pots are available from 18 to 280 litres, while the Red range includes 18, 50, 100 and 200 litre models.
Compressed air and nozzle size
The available compressed air must match the nozzle and required operating pressure. Insufficient air supply can cause pressure loss at the nozzle and reduce blasting performance. Nozzle wear also increases air consumption over time.
Abrasive
The blasting media influences the required abrasive metering setup. Airblast blast pots can be equipped with different abrasive metering valves to suit the media and application.
Working conditions
Consider where the equipment will be used, how often it needs to be moved and whether the application requires additional equipment for moisture separation, remote operation or wet blasting.
Complete blast pot systems
A professional abrasive blasting setup requires more than the blast pot itself. Depending on the selected configuration, Airblast can combine the blast pot with abrasive metering, remote controls, moisture separation, blast hoses, couplings, nozzle holders, blast nozzles and operator protection.
Airblast blast pots are designed for fast filling, unrestricted airflow and easy access for inspection and maintenance. Available features across the range include abrasive metering valves, remote control systems and Clearline moisture separators.
