What Are Pressure Cabinets?
Pressure cabinets deliver blast media at higher velocities than suction systems, making pressure cabinet ideal for turning out work fast. In many applications, these pressure cabinets will perform jobs four-times faster than suction systems. In addition, they use compressed air more efficiently and provide more precise blasting control at both high and low operating pressures. For really demanding tasks, like removing tight mill scale or finishing hard-to-reach surfaces, a pressure system is normally the only practical choice. Direct pressure cabinets come in several sizes, allow for several options such as turntable and tracks, heavy-duty turntables, stationary gun mounts and specialized dust collection. Pressure Blast systems can use both abrasive and non-abrasive blast media.
