Blast Cabinets
Control Gear offer a wide range of Pressure and Suction Type Blast Cabinets.
Pressure feed hand blast cabinets are essential when removing heavy corrosion, tough coatings or when high production rates are required. Cleaning rates are up to 5 times the speed of a suction cabinet and are suitable for use with heavier, long life abrasives such as iron and steel. Pressure feed machines are commonly used in high production environments or on applications such as alloy wheel refurbishment and cleaning heavy castings.
Suction Blast Cabinets provide the ideal cleaning and finishing solution to many coating and corrosion problems. They are ideally suited to ensuring a decorative or aesthetically pleasing surface finish across many materials. Suction systems are generally lower in capital cost than a pressure cabinet and use less compressed air, making them an attractive proposition for smaller workshops or lower production environments.
Blast Nozzles
Control Gear offer a comprehensive range of Blast Nozzles. This includes parallel bore, venturi, side outlet and water injection. Nozzle designs come in a variety of materials including Boron Carbide, Silicon Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Boron Alloy and Ceramic. For further advice please contact us.
