Very nice explication

[@rdvanyanar521]

Hi, any estimation for budget for this setup?

[@weldbead]

Why not attach the air line to supply the breathing air unit (GX4) into the outlet of the air prep / aftercooler / air dryer unit? The air coming out of the air prep unit would be cool, clean, and dry versus the air coming out of the compressor being hot, wet, and possibly oily.

[@BlastOne]

Weld.. you are technically correct, often we do hook up the Radex filter to the AirPrep, as this will remove oils and moisture particles, however it is common practice in the USA, where Deliquescent dryers are used, that operators complain that the air is too dry for breathing, drying out their sinus passages. The GX4 you refer to is the CO monitor, and this is attached to the Radex breathing air filter. This filter has a 7 stage cartridge which will remove all the nasties from the air, so I don't think you will have any issues getting false readings. The Blast Helmet uses a C40 climate conditioner, so that will cool the air for the operator as well.

Not for beginners - this is for a professional setup. You should title accordingly.

Got my new 45kg sand tank and 100l compressor ready. Was going to watch some examples. But I’m seeing magic here 😅

[@JPGtampa]

Came here to say this. Just wanted to get started with my HF setup lol

[@chiefcheems1404]

Damn this makes my setup (provided by my employer) look like a ghetto nightmare.

[@TheAstraeuss]

Overkill

[@brieb9981]

This seems complex for a beginner

[@skipraft7313]

This set-up looks to be about $9000. or more to get started. I must need to reword my search. "Beginner" didn't work. One minute and ten seconds is all I watched.

[@scottjames6035]

no wonder the prices are high on jobs overkill and slow production wow

[@nightechangel]

Tks I've been blasting and painting for years even mobil where everyday I had to set up and break everything to go back to shop. Besides the coupling and the seals and the usual holes in hoses . I've never care to know what each part was called. I just fail a written test for not knowing what parts are named. Ask me what's wrong with the pot paintnor blast and all it takes is go and try to blast and paint. And I'll give you a list or I know how to fix it. So written test said I wasn't a blaster. Lol like real blaster care about books.
