STEP 5. Shutting Down While the compressor is running, close the air inlet valve and open the blow down valve to release the pressure. Let the blast pot fully depressurize before turning off the compressor. Open Blow Down Valve Close Air Inlet Valve Note: If you turn the compressor off first, the pressure in the pot will backflow air, water, and media into other parts of the system, causing them to fail.
Maintaining your Blast Pot CONSUMPTION CHART No damage to the machine will occur by leaving water and media inside of it. However, due to the organics in the media, a foul smell can occur when left stagnant for longer than 24 hours. For this reason, when the machine will not be in use for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you remove water and media from machine either by blasting it out or by removing the bottom flange, air inlet jet, and gasket, and allowing it to drain.
Containment, Masking, and Blast Pattern Adjustments CONTAINMENT To capture the blasting byproducts use heavy plastic or a tarp. Lay out your plastic and weigh the corners down, placing your project in the center. You can sweep up media or use simple curtains or barriers. MASKING Mask off any glass, chrome, rubber seals, wiring, electrical, or moving mechanical parts and anything else that looks delicate or like it shouldn’t have water and grit inside it.
Storing Machine STORING MACHINE If leaving unit for extended period of time, you should blast the water and media out of machine OR: 1. Fully depressurize machine. 2. Remove 2 bolts from bottom flange of machine. 3. Remove 2 lugs from bottom flange. 4.
Choosing Blast Pressure BLAST PRESSURE Different materials and coatings call for different pressures or blasting distances. Thick metal can handle a lot of pressure, while sheet metal could be dented by using too much pressure. Simple paint may come off nicely with the nozzle far away, while tough undercoating may come off better with the nozzle closer.
Choosing Abrasive WHAT IS ABRASIVE? Abrasive (also called media) is mixed with water inside the blast tank. When blasting, you propel this mixture towards a surface at high speed, to remove paint, rust, and other coatings. TYPES OF ABRASIVE Dustless Blasting allows you to use a wide variety of abrasives, either wet or dry.

A common misconception is that the coarser glass will help you get through a job faster. It is true that 20/40 glass is slightly more aggressive than 40/70. However, because it's so coarse, you're only getting half as many particles of glass in the same size bag.
COMPARISON CHART Understanding the impact of different abrasives will help in deciding the best media for the job. The following chart will explain the characteristics of various media types.
