Gravity Feed Sandblasters

Posted on December 29, 2010 by Eric R. W.

There are a few different types of gravity feed sandblasters out there.  Before I talked about one of them which is called the Unitec Speed Blaster and briefly discussed some good things about it.

Picture of a gravity feed sandblaster with smaller hopper.For this post, I would like to further explain the benefits and the negative things about the gravity feed sandblaster in a more organized list below.

Positive Aspects:

  • Better abrasive flow and less surges.
  • Likely uses less air to power because it doesn’t have to be sucked up from the bottom.
  • Likely has more blasting power.
  • Has a sealed hand held hopper.
  • They are usually easy to maneuver.
  • Most of them don’t require two separate hoses which can be cumbersome.
  • Are fairly inexpensive.

Negative aspects:

  • Are usually only for very small jobs.
  • Can exhaust your hand from holding the gun if used continuously.
  • Have to be refilled frequently for larger jobs.

That’s all I could think of for now.  You can read more about the different types of sandblasting equipment or sign up to my information newsletter to the right for updates.
