Any insight into the differences in the mixing valve design between Sand vs. Soda blasters?
I have a 100 lb pressure pot sandblaster. It’s mixing valve is marginal in design. I have used an old Lindsay 100 pressure pot, and it worked flawlessly. Wish I could find another.
Have a great day,
Bob
Hi Bob, great question. There are some soda blast conversion kits out in the marketplace. When I find the link to these online, I will send you them by email. You could look at the picture and probably make one yourself fairly easy for a tenth of the price.
Its similar to the regular pressure pot valve except smaller with more suitable valves.
Honestly, you might want to just buy a new soda blaster so that you can keep the abrasive in the tanks separate. Harbor Freight has these for about the same price as the cost for a conversion kit.
