Sandblasting [cont.]

□  SANDBLASTING

 

Kansa has been “sandblasting” glass for over 20 years in our own workshops and we have developed a

single system that allows us to work both delicately and forcefully with the same equipment!

 

Using our experience we have put together a system for our customers which will allow you the same

flexibility at a very reasonable cost.

 

 Let us know what you want the system to do and we will give you advice from people who have years of

“hands on experience” to ensure that the system you purchase is safe to use and meets all your requirements.

 

           PRESSURE POT

 

           Most sandblasters work on thesiphon system where the grit and pressurised air are fed through separate

           pipes to the gun.  The size of the gun nozzle makes siphon systems unsuitable for line work or deep carving. 

           The pressure pot is a self contained unit which enables the air and grit to be mixed in the pressure vessel

           before being emitted in a controlled and efficient manner. Consequently, it can be used at very low pressures

           for fine work and alternatively at high pressures for a fast and efficient carving operation.

 

           Advantages of the Pressure Pot System

 

      ●    The grit and air are mixed in the pressure pot and one feed pipe carries the pressurised grit to the

           nozzle - usually 2.5mm.

 

      ●    A small compressor of over 300 litres per minute is required. A very low pressure can obtain a fine shading

           or acid-etched effect pressure can be increased to deep carve 6mm glass.

 

 

           Features

 

      ●    Self Sealing Top

 

           The abrasive is poured into the top opening of the            pressure pot. When the unit is pressurised, the
           50mm closure seals the pot, dropping automatically
           when the pot is depressurised, for easy refilling.

 

      ●    Nozzle Gun

           The nozzle end has squeeze handle control which
           turns off the flow of air and grit when released. An
           essential safety feature!

 

      ●    Choke Valve

           Controls the abrasive flow. damp conditions, the
           valve can be closed slightly to increase the air
           pressure.

 

      ●    Set and Forget Mixing

           The 12mm mixing valve controls the amount of
           abrasive passing through the pressure pot. If more
           abrasive is required, the valve is opened slightly.
           Once the mixing valve is set, it doesn’t normally
           need adjusting. A clog free nylon strainer is inside
           the pot.

 

      ●    Capacity

           The pressure pot takes 35kg of abrasive which
           gives up to one hour of continual blasting before
           refilling is needed.

 

      ●    Portable

           Wheels are fitted and the compact size of 255mm
           diameter, 890mm high makes the pressure pot
           easy to use on site.
 

           Includes 2 standard ceramic nozzles, 2.75m of hose
           and hood.
 

           Weight:  27.5Kg

SANDBLASTER DEMONSTRATIONS

 

Our workshop sandblaster is available for

demonstration to potential customers.

Please telephone in advance so we can

ensure the machine is available with a

member of staff to assist.

 

We can also sandblast customer’s own

work.  Please enquire for details.
