SandBlasting with New to me Compressor not what you think! Tuck body Blasting.

[@pato54321]

Hi mick I feel your pain, when I started up on my own mobile sandblasting over 30 years ago this is exactly what happened to me. I too could only afford second hand compressors and I quickly learned that you will never find a second hand machine that will be any good for long term sandblasting. These ex hire machines have already had a hard life and then we’re trying to make them work even harder. in the end I had to bite the bullet and buy a brand new one, it’s the only way you’ll ever progress. Since I started buying new I’ve literally never had a single days trouble, I service them religiously and keep them spotless at all times. My first new machine lasted me nearly 14 years. Another top tip is keep away from doosan compressors they are not up to the job. Buy atlas Copco and you’ll never look back. As I say mate I’ve been at it for over 30 years so I feel your pain. Good luck and don’t give up👍

[@pato54321]

I’ve also bought a couple of Atlas Copco machines from Jeff at Compressed Air Plant at North Witham. He’s a sound bloke and his machines are usually very good. He’ll take yours in px. Tell him you want an Atlas with decent low hours on it mate. And if you do have any problems he’s always there afterwards, and he will help you out.

[@Mobileblaster]

Thanks Pat appreciate that :) I fink lack of preventative maintenance let this compressor down ive since serviced it 1000 hour service so the big 1 haha and it seams to be a good unit now time will tell :)

[@253Jaren]

Your fix seemed to work but it reminded me of when my thermostat went bad. $6 part cost me tons of time and headache. Keep one of those handy as well. super easy fix.

[@Mobileblaster]

if its got tits or wheels it courses problems haha

[@neilwharton720]

Check the connections for the crank sensor mounted at the front of the engine, loose connections in the pin connection will cause 29 fault code💪💪

Top job Mick 👍 you'll sort it out bud🚛🇬🇧🚛🇬🇧

It cannot be much as it was fine in the auction so I think something and nothing loose wire or something I hope haha

[@joer8182]

Any ex a plant compressor I have ever bought or viewed have always had problems, I think they only sell them when they are giving trouble. Even a 7-51 that I once bought, gave it a very good looking at before and thought I had found a good one, the rear canopy had been off recently and the oil cooler was weeping. That day I learned, never again buy an ex a plant machine 😂. I hope yours is a cheap simple fix!

[@Mobileblaster]

Hopefully it won't cost a fortune to repair 🙏 😬

[@Barthoization]

They usually lack maintenance. A good service ( fresh everything ) and some cleaning makes them run reliable again 99% of the time. The machine saves itself by throwing codes.

[@paulf2529]

I think the fitters also lack the skill to actually diagnose and fix more than the most basic problems. Seen this so many times sadly.

[@defendermender4959]

Look at a 3M Stripe Off eraser wheel for taking off decals 👍🏻

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah tar and glue remover only works to remove the residue that's normally left over you still have to peel the sticker off. This hi vis stuff is pot luck sometimes it will peel off fine and others just snaps in small peaces even with heat / steam to aid its removal

[@nathantilly3539]

mick -- did some googling pal, looked at the doosan 7/120 -- i mean im limited on the info about your machine but heres what it says below. COMPRESSOR CODE 29 Explanation: The engine has shut down and the WEDGE did not detect a fault code from the engine ECM. Effect: Code 29 is a SHUTDOWN condition and will stop the machine. The Compressor Malfunction light will be on solid, and Code 29 will be displayed. Engine SHUTDOWN: Reason Unknown Troubleshooting Steps Action Result Step 1: Check fuse F2. Replace fuses as needed Step 2: Check engine fuel system for restrictions. Dirty fuel filters Clogged Hoses Air in fuel system Step 3: Verify battery + and - connections to the engine ECM. Repair harness as needed Step 4: Verify KEYSWITCH signal (24 VDC) connection from WEDGE to engine ECM. Step 5: Retrieve active and inactive engine ECM fault codes via engine manufacturer’s service tool.

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah I've got this info thankyou 👍 I've done the basic stuff fuses etc I will try filters and drain the tank etc before taking it to a shop to code read

@Scott Kenzig she's cost a fair amount today the cost to service this is almost dubble to my old 1 infact it possibly is 2x as much with the extra oil it uses but hopefully that's it 🤞 I hope it's not a intermittent fault like my old en they are the worst kind of faults just maybe I will get a brake on this 1

[@cannonEDHA]

Considering you had a lot of issues i bet your glad you at least got the job done and didn’t have to let your customer down

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah I stuck at it on their air and to be fair to them they had the fitter look over it when I was blasting unfortunately he's not a compressor guy he fixes trucks

[@paulmiller6277]

I would recommend testing the actual output of compressor before buying. Use a suitable sized nozzle connected direct to air output. I have a used compressor that output about 60% of CFM on spec plate

[@Mobileblaster]

since finding and fixing the issue it runs nice I have a problem with the filter drawing air new filter new housing and it still dose it drop the pickup pipe into the tank bypassing the 1st filter and its fine I could have a small hole in the pipe from the 1st filter to the second or the elbow fixings have a fault. But when its running nice I can run a 850 nozzle good for 320 cfm and the unit isn't near full revs running 2x pots with 650s 2x 230cfm and she runs flat out producing 85/90psi each I'm sure its hitting close or around than plated cfm. seems a good strong unit now I've sorted that well kind of fixed it haha

[@needwindinmysails6349]

Hi Mick, Sorry to hear the new to you compressor is giving you trouble already, maybe it just needs a full service, but anyway here's a trick for all those pesky stickers just pour on boiling water and they peel off like they were put on yesterday unless they are already full of cracks, anyway here's hoping you can get it fixed. Cheers from DownUnder

[@Mobileblaster]

I've just gave it a 1000 hour service that's the big expensive one haha every filter and oil but at least I can eliminate that now I need to test it under load but it's ran for over an hour today without issues since it's service.👍 oh them style hivis stickers just snap I've tried using a wall paper steamer with just the pipe and they don't peel real pain in the arse haha my brother has a body shop and he paints alot of delivery vans and has to remove stickers on the daily he told me the wall paper steamer tip it is normally brill with any stickers but these hivis stuff really are a pain well not for a proper working compressor they don't normally cause a problem on a good day 😂 it's your summer down their? It's our winter and we have a cold snap on it's way 🥶 this day it was windy and cold it put me in a real good mood when I got wet with the jetwashing and knowing my new to me compressor was broken haha😂 it was a long day

[@88chrisbrown]

Hi micky I would drain the fuel tank and replace the fuel filter and air filters 29 could be a number of things but start simple and work your way up if still no luck I'd go through and bypass sensors with a wire hopefully you find your fault soon I know this is a headache machine seems to run great though I'd just say its not been serviced properly good luck my man!

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah 1st job tomorrow I've looked over fuses loose wires etc basic stuff then I will do as you say filters / swapping sensors from my old en etc process of elimination 👍

[@shropshireconcrete]

did you find out what it was as mines doing the same could do with some help cheers AL@@Mobileblaster

[@Mobileblaster]

@shropshireconcrete yes the fule lines are dirty ot fule issues such as fillers need changing tank needs draining and cleaning or just like I had air in the system my filler housing was at fault bought new housing and new filler turns out its grabbing air fr9m the pickup pipe to the First filler housing

[@shropshireconcrete]

@Mobileblaster okay great I'll give that a go tomorrow cheers for your help, keep up the good work love your video's

[@Mobileblaster]

@shropshireconcrete first thing I would check when was the last service? Then follow the derv pipes do they look suspect? Then check the pickup pipe in the tank its got a filler on the end Then run clean derv from a clean tank and clean pipe straight to the injector pump no filters new pipe if its still got an issue the pump has a last in line filler but they ain't cheap if it's none of them then unlucky for you it's eva a diesel pump (high pressure pump) or injectors.

[@Mobileblaster]

​@@SuperArmpower please see previous video I ran this compressor up for 1 hour and 20mins on full demand at the auction then again a few weeks later then this job was the following day I picked up the compressor I didn't have time to service or even give it a good going over I've since today gave it a 1000 hour service that's every filter and all the fluids. I found they had a secondary fuel filter as a primary since the service I've had it running for aprox 1 hour again and its seams fine I haven't be able to put it under load until tomorrow on another job! I cannot run the blaster in my yard I get too many complaints. I do edit alot out I never start anything plant wise and put it under full demand I let it warm up for 10 15mins before asking for service air etc but the videos would be fairly boring watching a compressor warm up for 10 15 mins? I'm open to constructive criticism but I don't really get your point please advise.

Hi, I'm going to be doing this for the first time, just a little DIY project on wooden beams in new house. Was going to use calcium silicate on them, but not sure if that's the right media or not? Any advise, tips, help would be greatly appreciated 🙏 Thanks

[@RogueRestorationsLTD]

Just use soda particules media at 70 cfm

[@joefowler9600]

@Rogue Restorations LTD which media is worst for your health? Is there any media that is more dangerous than others? I'll obviously be wearing a mask, etc, but I'm very worried about breathing in the dust if it's really bad for you. Thanks for taking the time to reply 👍

[@RogueRestorationsLTD]

Use crushed nut shells and use an umbilical respirator

[@Mobileblaster]

Me personally I would get some quotes and then think is it worth doing it yourself as a pro won't waste media etc by the time your done it could work out cheaper and you don't have to get dusty :)

[@Mobileblaster]

Any approved media should be silica free don't use kiln dry sand that has free silica init and had been banned in the uk since the 60s you also need to know what it is your removing ie lead paint etc

[@chele-chele]

Didya update your drivers?

[@Mobileblaster]

Sorry what?

[@phenogen8125]

I'd imagine jet washing prior sale was used and water and electrics always a recipe for bad and intermittent connections. Again if diesel bug has occurred it can be very problematic resolving when its gone past the filters and I imagine hire plant is abused and not looked after by default. I hope it is not a lemon but it is sporting the right colour already.

[@Mobileblaster]

Pervious video when I bought it I had it running approx 1 hour and on full demand for 20mins then again a few weeks later I checked it over 2x and it was showing good signs of a strong bit of kit. 20 mins or so into blasting and it cuts out 🫣😮‍💨 I will have a proper look at it tomorrow and try to figure out why it's been a problem child

Crushed glass media its sillica free Kiln dry sand had been banned for sandblasting in the early 70s I believe 👍 fingers crossed I fink it's sorted I need to put it under load to make sure it's fixed properly but it's been running fine with no issues but only on free flow air I've not been able to test it with the blaster just yet 👍

[@lawsonireland5326]

@mobileblaster .I've just taken over my uncle's mobile blasting business in Ireland he always used a quartz product, but the supplier I purchased it from told me it had silica in it and was banned in uk, I have also tried Olivine which ive found it much quicker than glass, doing some research that also has silica in it 😯 because my uncle was so set in his ways he said I shouldn't worry. There seems to be an absolute mind field and very dark area in Ireland.i I feel a little more training is needed other than What my uncle has provided. but in his words it has done him okay for 20 years 🤷. His compressor is also looking like his best days are behind it so watching this video has scared me to death 😂😂😂

[@Moh4n95]

Hey Mick sad to seeing this happening to you mate i saw your last video when was bidding in to and i saw the total price a bit more then 15k euros that is still a lot of money i have no idea what an new doosan would cost of that model but with the money spend in this compressor you could bought an new atlas copco or an new doosan give the 15k and pay the rest monthly then you have a brand new machine plus it won't break soon down and if look good after it will run for a lot years to come.

[@Mobileblaster]

50k for a new 1 mate or 12k down and 1200 a month for 5 year I personally perfer to own out right this way if work drys up I don't have the worry over my head just my way of thinking mate 👍

[@Moh4n95]

​@@Mobileblaster Damm 50K is a lot its comes maybe with the newest sprinter e van 😅🤣 but from jokes aside yes i do understanding why 2ehands might be an option its comes also with risks but you bought from an auction normally there are papers made that machine works or not in what condition it is maybe you getting your money back ? Did you looked out also for young 2ehands machines like from a year off 2-3 old that can getting by a dealer that is less money as a new one and you could do 12k down and try find one for your needs that cost like 20K-25K range and the monthly payment wont not so hight then 1200 maybe can find something that sometimes its better to pay a little more and dont have problems and issues with work equipment so you can keeping working and as one man business onwer you know well a job not finshed or not doing work is no income and life got at the moment more exspensive plus the bills stay coming too. I bet you wil found a solation for this problem soon 😉 👍👍 remember good work tools pay for themselves and if you take care of it properly it takes care of you
