16 Ways

The document provides 16 tips to improve the efficiency of an abrasive blasting system. It recommends using a microvalve to precisely control abrasive flow, removing old moisture traps that restrict air pressure, using a large bore hose to supply air to avoid pressure drops, regularly checking nozzle pressure with a gauge, blasting with low-dust abrasives like GMA garnet, and using a lightweight and comfortable helmet like the RPB Nova 3 to reduce operator fatigue. Implementing some of these tips can significantly increase production rates and reduce operating costs.

INTRODUCTION
TO BLAST CLEANING
EFFICIENCY
This booklet has been written to assist you to identify ways to make your life easier as a blaster and more
efficient. Some of the items explained here may seem common sense to you. In fact, you may have used
them for some years. Unfortunately, many blasters haven’t ever had any specialist training.

Who trains the blaster?


The old blaster.
Who trained him?
The blaster before him.

Did any of them investigate new techniques? New equipment? New ways of working more efficiently?
No. (It’s sad but true).
Fortunately, this is now changing. By just using a few of the ideas in this booklet, you should be able to
improve your production and efficiency. It means decreasing your costs and dramatically improving your
profits.
The majority of this booklet summarized in one sentence: Increase your nozzle pressure and decrease
your abrasive consumption. It makes all the difference to your efficiency.

The MicroValve III is a new valve from BlastOne
which makes “fine tuning” your abrasive mix easy.
Install one onto your blast pot instead of your old
metering valve, and you’ll immediately notice a
big difference!
Very simply designed for operation, it only takes
two bolts and two minutes to pull it down for
maintenance.
For blast pots with two or more outlets, upgrade
to the Thompson Valve.

CAUTION
This valve is becoming so popular that cheap copy valves are
appearing. Beware, they may be made of inferior metals and
wear out fast. Insist on genuine BlastOne MicroValves. Heavy duty and long

TAKE OFF YOUR OLD
MOISTURE TRAP
IT COULD BE SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF
YOUR BLASTING PRESSURE

Are you using a ⅜” (no. 6) nozzle or bigger? Have


you got one of these moisture traps (as shown)
on the side of your blast pot? Rip it off now if you
want to improve production.
These moisture traps may work well when they
are new. However, they have a fine filter element Old style moisture trap
inside that very quickly becomes clogged with any (too restrictive for
bigger nozzles)
dust, oil and foreign matter.
And then they become a big cause of pressure
drop! You may have 100psi coming in from the
compressor, but going out of the little moisture
trap may be only 90psi! This is a very common
problem.
Instead, you should install a high volume moisture
separator, which operates without this pressure
loss problem and removes more moisture. The
MS H800 (shown right), works by allowing the air

USE A BULL HOSE TO
SUPPLY AIR TO YOUR POT
INCREASING YOUR PRESSURE – INCREASES
YOUR PROFITS
Do you use a big nozzle to blast with, but only
supply your blast pot with air from a jackhammer
hose? Or you may have two jackhammer hoses?
This is no good.
But, we do have good news! Overnight, you can
double your blasting rate. Big nozzles need big
hoses.
For any bigger than a 7/16” (no. 7) nozzle, you
need a 2 inch (50mm) ID bull hose to supply air to
your blast pot. Any smaller air delivery hose will
simply be choking the air supply. And you lose
valuable air pressure.
Important note: Watch your hose fittings. It’s no good fitting
a nice big bull hose to the pot if you’ve still got hose fittings
or pipe fittings that are smaller in the bore than your hose
size. A 2” bull hose should be connected to a 2” outlet on the
compressor and use large bore fittings right through.

CHECK YOUR NOZZLE
PRESSURE REGULARLY
THIS CRITICAL CHECK SHOULD BE DONE AT
LEAST WEEKLY
KEEP A GAUGE IN YOUR TOOL KIT CH
EC
The nozzle pressure gauge is unarguably the K
most important testing instrument in your whole
kit! Did you know that if your nozzle pressure
drops from 100psi to 90psi, you’ll take 15%
longer to blast anything?
For every 1psi under 100psi, you lose 1.5% of
your production efficiency. Check your system
right through with this pressure testing gauge
and find where the pressure losses are. Test the
pressure at both ends of a long length of hose –
you’ll be amazed to see how much the pressure
can drop!
We recommend getting two pressure test kits,
to test both air pressure into your blast pot,
versus the air pressure out in your blast hose,
simultaneously. It can tell you a story.

BLAST WITH A LOW DUST
ABRASIVE
WHY GMA GARNET WILL WORK BETTER FOR YOU

The largest cause of complaints about blasting


is the DUST. It’s amazing how much difference
blasting with GMA Garnet makes. First of all, let’s
have a look at exactly what it is.
GMA Garnet is a silica-free abrasive made up of
small garnet crystals. Each crystal is heavy, sharp
and hard. When it slams into the steel at 500mph,
it doesn’t smash up and break into tiny pieces like
other abrasives. This makes it very low dusting.
Each small crystal carries tremendous cleaning
energy. You blast faster and cleaner than with
grits twice or three times its size, using half as

THE BUSINESS END OF YOUR BLAST HOSE

The blast nozzle at the end of your hose has to


do a lot of work. It takes air and abrasive and
accelerates it to about 500mph.
For the last 20 or so years, we have used tungsten
carbide long venturi nozzles. These work fine
and will normally last around 300 hours but they
are heavy and tend to crack easily if dropped or
hit against the steel. (Many blasters tend to think
nozzles are hammers!)
The superhard ULTRA-TUFF nozzles are made
from new technology silicon nitride and weigh half
that of tungsten nozzles and will last for about 800
hours!
You’ll notice a big difference hanging onto an

oil can produce carbon monoxide gas. Carbon
monoxide is an odorless, deadly gas).
Now, OSHA’s Standard 1910.134 (i) (7) requires us
to do something about this...
“For oil-lubricated compressors, the employer
shall use a high-temperature or carbon monoxide
alarm, or both, to monitor carbon monoxide
levels.
If only high-temperature alarms are used, the air

USE A COMMUNICATION
SYSTEM
A GOOD COMMUNICATION SYSTEM CAN IMPROVE
NOT ONLY EFFICIENCY BUT ALSO SAFETY

When we are blasting or painting, whether it be


on a site, in a blasting yard or in a blast room,
having a “pot attendant or spotter” to fill, adjust
and control the machine means actual time spent
blasting or spraying is increased. The problem
is that on a site where there are many workers
but communication between the site personnel
is poor, we may never actually realise our full
productive potential.
Communication difficulties on blasting and
painting sites are nothing new. Many blasters
carry a hammer in their pocket and hit it on the
steel (or hit the nozzle on the steel!) to give you a
message (i.e. 1 hit = more abrasive, 2 hits = less
abrasive, 3 hits = turn the machine off!). This can
be very inaccurate.
Using a communication system is a much safer
and quicker way to work. There are many types of
communication systems available.
The RPB Nova Talk communication system can
be integrated into your Nova helmet and attach
to your existing radio which means workers can
communicate effectively.

RECYCLE YOUR
ABRASIVE
USE YOUR ABRASIVE OVER AND
OVER AGAIN
What do you do with all that spent abrasive at the
end of the day? Do you go and dump it and go to
buy some more?
Why not try recycling? If you are using a
recyclable abrasive such as GMA Garnet, you
could save thousands of dollars each month.
To recycle your GMA Garnet, you must remove
all rubbish, stones, paint flakes, dust and fine
particles from it and you then have “like new
garnet.”
Special recycling machines have been developed
which simply and efficiently recycle GMA Garnet.
Put your dirty GMA Garnet on one side and
cleaned GMA Garnet comes out the other!
High-performance vacuum systems are also
useful to remove spent GMA Garnet from tanks
and confined spaces etc. and convey it to your
recycling station.
