rit handled and consumed during blast operations, and to reduce the total amount of airborne dust generate. CleanerBlast offers equipment for wet abrasive vapor blasting (vapor blast) that uses 90% less grit and generates 91.7% less dust than dry abrasive blasting.
Depending on the particle size of the grit, CleanerBlast units also cut manual loading tasks in half or more, providing additional control. CleanerBlast equipment provides a true vapor blasting method to contain dust particles in several ways:
Minimal waste means a blastbag can be used when cleaning pipes to directly capture spent grit.
Spent grit from other operations or particles not immediately captured by using a blastbag are encapsulated in water droplets during vapor blasting. Vapor blasting equipment uses low pressure so it does not propel or disperse contaminated particulates Water weighs down the droplets and falls to the workspace floor where it can be vacuumed with a shop vac to prevent exposure.
Vapor blasting equipment is low pressure, so it does not widely disperse particulates widely or propel them at high speed to potentially penetrate worker skin.
A rinse hose can be simultaneously connected to CleanerBlast machines to safely remove any residual grit that may stick to damp surfaces.
