Sandblasting is a method of finishing the surface of a manufactured product to make it smoother and more uniform.

Working principle of sandblasting machine
The working principle of sandblasting machine is to use compressed air to drive abrasive to spray at high speed onto the surface of the workpiece, and use the impact and friction of the abrasive to achieve the purpose of cleaning, rust removal, deburring or increasing surface roughness. ‌

Sandblasting machines are generally divided into the following 2 categories:
1.Pressure sandblasting machine: The sandblasting gun is connected to the sand tank. When released, air and sand particles will be ejected from the gun together.
2.Siphon sandblasting machine: Contains two hoses. When air flows through the first hose, it creates suction in the second hose, sucking sand particles from its storage tank and ejecting them through the sandblasting gun.

Types of air compressor for sandblasting
The choice of sandblasting compressor depends on your sandblasting project. Portable air compressors are often used for small one-time projects, such as removing paint from your home or small studio. If used for industrial production, a fixed air compressor should be selected.

Size of air compressor for sandblasting
The right size can achieve the most efficient output. You can inform our professional sales of your production project to recommend the corresponding size of air compressor to you.

Size of air compressor tank
Generally speaking, the larger the compressed air tank, the more air it can store, and the longer it can run before it needs to be refilled.

Pressure selection of air compressor for sandblasting
The pressure rating of the air compressor is expressed in PSI. The higher the PSI, the more powerful the equipment. For sandblasting applications, generally choose an air compressor with a pressure of > 90 PSI.

Advantages of sandblasting machine
1. Improve production efficiency
Precise adjustment to ensure consistent surface treatment quality of each workpiece

2. Save raw materials and costs
Minimize the waste of raw materials by precisely controlling the scope and intensity of sandblasting

3. Environmental protection and energy saving
Modern sandblasting machines are usually equipped with dust recovery systems and exhaust gas treatment systems to effectively filter the dust generated by sandblasting
