Sandblasting Machine FAQ
What safety precautions should I take when operating a sandblasting machine?
Always wear appropriate PPE including respirators, protective clothing, and safety goggles. Ensure proper ventilation in the work area and never point the nozzle at people or animals. Regularly inspect hoses and connections for wear and tear before operation.
How often should I replace the nozzle on my sandblasting machine?
Nozzle replacement depends on usage frequency and abrasive materials. For regular commercial use with standard abrasives, replace every 40-60 hours of operation. Inspect nozzles weekly for signs of wear like oval-shaped openings or reduced performance.
Can I use different types of abrasives in the same sandblasting machine?
Yes, most sandblasting machines can handle various abrasives including garnet, aluminum oxide, glass beads, and steel shot. However, when switching abrasives, thoroughly clean the entire system first. Note that different abrasives require adjusting pressure settings for optimal results.

Sandblasting Machine FAQ Continued
What size compressor do I need for my sandblasting machine?
For most industrial sandblasting machines, you'll need a compressor delivering at least 15-20 CFM at 90-100 PSI. Larger models may require 25+ CFM. Always check your specific model's requirements and account for 30% extra capacity for optimal performance.
How do I store my sandblasting machine when not in use?
Empty all abrasive material and moisture from the tank. Store in a dry, covered area with all valves in open position to prevent moisture buildup. Lubricate moving parts and cover openings to prevent dust contamination. For long-term storage, consider applying protective oil to metal surfaces.
Can I use a sandblasting machine indoors?
Yes, but only with proper containment and ventilation systems. You'll need a high-quality dust collector and possibly a negative air system. Always check local regulations regarding indoor abrasive blasting. Consider using less toxic abrasives like baking soda or crushed glass for indoor applications.
Choosing the Right Sandblasting Machine
Consider these factors when selecting your sandblasting machine:
- Project size and frequency
- Available power source (electric or pneumatic)
- Portability requirements
- Surface materials being treated
- Budget for equipment and consumables
