Fantastic, thanks. Is it noticeably better using the steam hose over conventional blast hoses.
there are so many types of steam hose with massive price differences, any reccomendations on what type would be suitable. Sorry to be a pain ;)
Just purchased a psbc990 cabinet and was wondering if anyone knows of a good quality blast hose. Was watching a youtube video on the blaster and the bend at the back of the machine looks fairly sharp as it enters the back of the cabinet and can imagine these cheaper hoses wearing out very...
Thanks Mike, not got it hooked up to the air receiver yet... at the moment its just blowing out the discharge port. Oil is low now so need to get some, looks expensive though as it says it requires IR Ultra.
Just hooked up my screw compressor, started fine and was running unloaded for a few minutes and no unwanted noises. I then switched to loaded and there was nothing... i then seen oil leaking from between the screw air-end and the motor and dripping out the air filter, i quickly realized that the...
Also having never blasted at those type of levels, i use a 3mm at the moment to clean up after acid dipping. How efficient is 8mm in removing powder coat any way to cut down on acid dipping times or perhaps remove it would be fantastic, i hate that stuff. At the moment i am around 45 mins in the...
exactly just wheels and frames.. suppose anything that will fit in my oven. I had planned to build a 3m x 2m room enough to walk in and place 4 wheels on a bench and blast the lot. extraction not sure yet i have a large 1.1kw 3 phase extractor fan and was going to rig this up to some type of...
thanks for the replies, thats a good point on nozzle sizing. I was looking at nozzle sizes and had 6mm in my head when i was bidding on an 18kw hydrovane. Suppose the 8mm would be a good step up in production times, more worried about passing so much media through in a small blast room... lets...
My electric company will love me, at the moment i have an electric oven running 4x 3000w heating elements and its on all day every day plus numerous extractor fans with big motors.
i think the newer screw compressors are supposed to be energy efficient, but i dont have the funds for a new one. Unsure how efficient the 30hp hydrovane would be, cant find much online with enegy usage on these older machines. I presume when producing air they are using more electricity.... as...
Yes i have 3 phase, i run a powder coating business and only using a small blast cabinet with coupled piston compressors but they are being hammered everyday. I am having to constantly replace head gaskets on them and they are now starting to struggle, at the moment all my bigger items are going...
I am looking at a 130cfm 22kw Hydrovane to run a blast pot for my blasting room. I am unsure what would workout cheaper.
To buy a road compressor or run such a big motor from the hydrovane.
Whats your thoughts, was hoping to run a 6mm nozzle for prepping wheels.
My Mag drill is tripping the 16a sockets on my ARC GEN 330SD, the drill does not trip on a standard transformer into my 240v wall socket. It does not trip on start up just as soon as i start to apply load.
the spec for the drill says 1200w motor so should be around 11a?
would using the 32a...
Thanks Chris, worth asking the question. I suppose its good to have the 110 option for site work. Would just need to get a seperate generator for mig/tig if needed or try and find a 110 mig/tig.
Have seen on youtube Americans wanting to use 220v will wire a plug from 2x 110v circuits into one 220v plug. I wonder if this generators 2x 16a 110v sockets are different circuits (they do have separate breakers) and in a pinch i could use this method. Whats your thoughts on this would i get a...
