The Pirate Brand 888-0034-13812PB is a 160 cu ft (4,531 liter, 8 ton) SPH PINCH bulk abrasive blast machine with 12 VDC electric controls. It is built for contractors and industrial blasting crews who want to load a large volume of abrasive at once and blast for extended periods between refills. It is a pressure hold machine with pinch valves, and it is made by Forecast Sales to fit Schmidt Manufacturing (Axxiom) abrasive blasting equipment.
How It Works
This is a pressure hold (SPH PINCH) system with normally open pinch valves. Abrasive is loaded through the closure at the top of the vessel and flows to the bottom, where it exits through the metering valve when blasting starts. When you connect an air source and turn it on, the emergency air tank pressurizes and the pinch valves close. Opening the inlet valve lets compressed air pass through the moisture separator and fill the pressure vessel. Squeezing the control handle opens the pinch valve, and the air and abrasive mixture flows out through the blast hose and nozzle. When the handle is released, the pot stays pressurized. To depressurize it, manually close the inlet valve and manually open the blow-down valve. The emergency air tank holds a reserve of compressed air to close the pinch valves if the compressor fails.
