How it Works

abrasive-separatorOptional abrasive separators are designed to keep blast media free of contaminants, thereby extending media life and minimizing media waste. During operation, media from the blast cabinet is suctioned through a hose into the abrasive separator. As the media spiral in a downward vortex, the heavier, reusable media particles are thrown to the outside, passing through a filter bag or optional deluxe dust collector that traps any debris. Dust and fine particles collect in the center of the vortex where they are pulled out through the suction tube and exhausted into a filter bag or dust collector. The cleaned media is then returned to the cabinet to be used again. Free of contaminants, the media is more efficient and provides more consistent results. Abrasive separators are ideal when blasting painted, rusted or corroded parts.
