So watching a bit of wheeler dealers last night mr China was using a very nice vapour cleaner so I thought my company really needs one of those but had a look on eBay and I've changed my mind About 5000 a big shot blast cabinet 400 so I thought vapour maybe a 1000 but I was very wrong!so why so expensive ? Suppose there's not much mechanicals in a shot blast cabinet you use your existing compressor. Could you put a load of water and glass beed in a shot blast pot ? ( almost certain you ant lol ) Just dreaming about easy cleaning parts thoughts folks
I've wondered if you could use one of those xenon headlamp washer jets and pump simultaneously with the blast pot to achieve similar results? Set up similar to a MIG so the water / suds comes on before the blaster like CO2 before the arc?
Aye they have a big water pump on the bottom that pumps the water and fine white shot around then you have the air that dose the blasting The last two places I've worked have had them I used to use it all the time at my last work for of car parts You would need a fare size compressor as well We have a big hydrovane compressor as well to run it Sure we move one into storage in last year or two Though our storage is a bit like the end sene of raiders of the lost ark We have 4 or 5 industrial units where you can't find naff all lol
