Sandblasting Equipment

Sand blasting removes rust, paint, and scale using compressed air and abrasive. Check the air consumption against your compressor's output. Match the air connection and working pressure. Some models have a hanging eye for storage. The grit hopper capacity determines how long you work. Choose nozzles for fine or coarse work. Spare parts and extra grit are available.

Sand Blasting in the Workshop

Choose the right type

Sand blasting equipment works with compressed air and grit. You need a compressor that delivers enough air. Check the air consumption of the gun, stated in litres per minute. A compressor that is too small gives a weak blast. The job then takes much longer.

Where ordering goes wrong

Check the connection on your compressed air system. Most guns have a 6.3 mm connection or another size. Working pressure also matters, usually between 6 and 8 bar. If the connection does not fit, you need an adapter. Also look at the capacity of the grit container. A small container needs refilling more often.

Which standards and sizes count

For fine work, use fine grit. For coarse work, such as rust removal, choose coarser grit. Nozzles come in different diameters. A smaller diameter gives a finer stream. Replacement nozzles and extra blasting grit are available separately. This keeps your equipment usable for a long time.

Sand blasting equipment sits under air tools, alongside other tools that run on your compressor. If you prefer a different kind of blasting, look at air blow guns or at sanders for flattening and polishing. Connecting your set often calls for air tool accessories, and for coarser blasting on metal, bodywork fits well with this job.
