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 the ‘siphon 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. |
