My Set Up

MEDIA MAN

Well this is my set up. Truck is awfully dirty. The compressor is a Sullivan Pallatek, diesel 90hp 210 cfm. It is set up with an electric deadman. I am fitted with a 5/16 (#5) long venture nozzle. I have 100ft of blast hose. I also have a 100# Empire pot that I do not have pictured. I have it down in my barn where I store my media.
As for moisture, the only issues I have is that up here in ND when the temps are in the 20's or lower our pots end up freezing. Of coarse I have the moisture seperator on the compressor and the air coolers mounted on the back. The last day I blasted it was around 18 degrees with about a 10 mph wind. I was able to get about 4hrs in before I froze up. Probrably for the best - It started to snow. I was blasting the cab of a '41 Dodge P.U.
I here a lot of talk about having small pots (100#). People need to understand when you are a 1 man show a 100# pot is heavy. The hose is heavy and the media is heavy. 10 hrs of that is pretty tireing! Although I am looking for 300# pot. Filling the 100# pot gets to be a hasstle on all day jobs.
When using the 100# empire pot I average about 20 between fills. Some days more some days less. The soda pot I have I get about 40 min. between fills.
I am curiouse to know what others are getting for jobs in other areas of the country. Currently I charge $100/hr for slag and glass and $150/hr for soda. I am going to have to up the soda to $185/hr though. Cost of fuel and freight is rediculous!

Not sure if the pictures will show up or not. I have not done this before.

MIDWESTSODAGUY

Did you by your rig from joe at the sodaworks in washington? I'm running the same set-up here in the Kansas City area in the midwest and it works great... I do also have a 1.5 schmidt abrasive pot i blast crushed glass or garnett with.

MEDIA MAN

No, I bought this unit from a guy Joe was trying to get set up to sell these units. Some-where I think there was a falling out between the two. I bought the last unit he had. I think he swithched to an MMLJ pot because that is what I believe he is using.
