SBC990 Suction Blast Cabinet v PSBC990 Pressure Blast Cabinet

[@AW33COM]

My suction cabinet build by me is faster than your direct pressure and I don't damage aluminum wheels. I have yet to see a correctly built blasting cabinet in my 40 years of doing it. I run 18cfm at 1/2 inch hose to the gun. No pedal, no dust, no expensive of anything.

I have this same cabinet from Allsource.. Im thinking about taking the pot off it and converting it to a siphon system.. theres no way I can find a reasonable compressor to push 30cfm without buying a 4k rotary screw.. Is there a email I can contact you to ask your opion this conversion..

[@Sandblasters]

Yes of course. Its [e-mail]

I’m thinking of getting the pressure pot blaster. I have a 72cfm road compressor. What dryer do you use? I can’t seem to find one. Thanks

[@Sandblasters]

@NikilaMoo I'm sorry I've only just seen this message. I run my cabinets with a road compressor. As long as your dryer matches the cfm of your compressor you'll be good.

I was just wondering if I could add a pressure pot to my existing set up. I have this exact sbc990 . Any advise would be greatly appreciated

[@Sandblasters]

Hi Jody. The factory dont recommend converting a suction cabinet to pressure as they are not built to take the added pressure.

Hi Martyn, excellent demo, I'm waiting for one of your cabinets to come in but when it does could I use a sand blasting pot for this purpose, is there any given size too big or small for this requirement? Do you have a page you could direct me to in order to set all of this up from scratch?

[@Sandblasters]

Hi Justin, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We have all our stock on our website www.sandblasters.co.uk

[@butchers2]

Can i ask what size nozzle you are using on these comparisons? And what psi are they being shot at? Thanks

[@Sandblasters]

Hi Tony, they'll be 6mm nozzles blasting about 80psi

[@butchers2]

@@Sandblasters silly question but to up the psi do you need to get larger air lines?? I have have no valve to adjust my psi on my cabinet or anywhere else. Im using standard workshop styles airlines to run all my setup. Im new to the business and just trying to get the best from my compressor and cabinet. Currently running 37cfm comoressor with guyson cabinet with 6mm nozzle but only blasting at 60psi? Any ideas?? Thanks

[@Sandblasters]

Hi Tony, changing airlines won't make any difference to psi only to the air flow. Ideally you want a 13mm inside diameter as a minimum to give plenty of air flow. Small airlines tend to restrict the air. As for blasting pressure 60 to 80psi is ideal usually. If you blast to high a pressure you are just smashing your media on impact, causing lots of dust and costing you money. Hope this helps Martyn

Does the pressure cabinet use less air?

[@Sandblasters]

It still requires a lot of air Joris, you want a compressor with at least 30CFM, bigger if possible

[@JorisV1983]

@@Sandblasters my compressor is around 35/40 cfm it can handle me continuously blasting with my injector blast cabinet.

What CFM is your compressor please?

[@Sandblasters]

28 Cfm for the test but I now use a 140cfm one.

@@Sandblasters what brand and model compressors was the 28 cfm and the one your using now

@@chipsammich2078 I used a petrol Hyundai compressor. We mainly sell the Clarke compressors. They are on our website for viewing. I now use a road compressor which I run through a large dryer

@@Sandblasters Yeah I'm having a hard time finding something for a home shop Electric with that high of cfm at a reasonable price..
