Light use blasting cabinets are alright tools, but they aren’t good as far as charging a customer for a job well done. They often lead to a messy work area and overall are just at the bottom when it comes to performance. A large compressed air tank is good if you are working with compressed air, and the amount of pressure and the amount of cleaning that it can do, is very different in terms of the amount of pressure that is offered in different machines.
Key Takeaways:
- 220-volt single-phase power is incredibly limiting for compressor operation. It results in slow cleaning speeds due to the reduced cfm produced using lower amperage for single-phase compression.
- A huge compressed air tank means nothing when the pressure drops below 100 psi. The difference between 50 psi and 100 psi is 4 times cleaning speed.
- Operating a machine with an inadequate dust collector, limited dust storage, and low cfm blower will create a real mess unless you clean the dust collector every 10 to 15 minutes.
“Cabinet manufacturers that sell poor-quality abrasive usually know their machines don’t have the recycle capacity or dust removal separators to warrant using expensive media.”
