Rig looks good, but are you getting ready to powder coat the Lexus in the driveway

If you hit the brakes real hard does that thingy in the back of the truck bounce off the cab, or just break the rear window? I would add another tie down on that rascal.

But seriously, that is a nice set up.

Just curious, but what is the CFM of the outfit you are using? I have an 85 Schramm compressor and would like to have a pot like that one.

Never has to hit brakes hard yet, maybe I should put another strap to the back.

Yeah, I would strap it back. Always best to have a 4 point tie down, but looks like three will be ok here. You can also add a headache rack.

OK, I'll admit I know little about production sandblasting, but the capacity of your pot looks small, to me.
Am I wrong?

How long do you blast for? Around what temp and humidity?

Ive attempted a Soda Job this monday, everything started off well. After lunch, i noticed production slowed down. After opening the nozzle, i found the soda to be wet.

I am using a Water induction nozzle, (WIN 4) . Does water ever mixes with baking soda in the nozzle?



Tmr- his pot is small , but when shooting soda, tiny particles 260 microns, it should give you decent blasting time between fills , it also depends on your metering. Monday was my 2nd attempted soda job but my 1st job where we could actually blast for 1+ hour. I was amazed how far 1 bag went. I was under the impression that 1 bag would last 15 mins, not in this case.

I have a 3.5 cu pot, which is huge. When filled, i guess i could blast at least 2.5 hours without filling with my current metering postion.

Ive blasted coal slag a few months ago, the particles are much larger compared to 260 micron baking soda, that i had to fill about every 15 mins. In those cases, you wished you had a larger pot.

Will the nice thing is I can move the pot around and get to out of the way areas. With a full pot I can blast for about a hour between refills and at that point i am ready for a little break.

Plazaman I have blasted 8 hours with it this summer in the high 90s and high humidity, That was with glass and all the traps opened a little. I have use soda for a hour in the same weather and have not had any problems.

does anyone have detailed drawings including part names and brands for a soda blasting pot assembly

www.surfacetekinc.com worth every penny for the reliability it has given us.

I was going to add the 'Canadian' version of the www.surfacetekinc.com unit - it's the exact same blaster, just a different name from a different distributor. I've demo'd the unit and thought it was great...
