Pirate Brand 888-4642-33940PB-E Abrasive Blast Pot Sandblasting Machine, 8.0 Cu. Ft. (225L), Stationary, Dual Outlet, 150 PSI, Dual-Chamber, Electric Abrasive Cut-Off, APV II, Big Gun Full Flow System

Important Notes

When using steel abrasives, Electric Control Handle #2 (888-2263-401PB) and Sealed Connector(s) (PB-31131) are required.

A 12VDC power supply is required for all 8.0 cu. ft. dual-chamber blasters equipped with pneumatic or electric controls.

Features & Benefits

8.0 Cu. Ft. Capacity (225 Liters)

• Upper chamber: 3.25 cu. ft. (2.69 cu. ft. usable)
• Lower chamber: 4.19 cu. ft. (4.04 cu. ft. usable)
• Rated for 150 PSI (10.3 Bar)
• Built to ASME Section VIII Division 1 standards
• CRN certified for all Canadian provinces

Dual-Chamber System

• Continuously refills while remaining pressurized
• Increases productivity by eliminating downtime during refilling

Big Gun Full Flow System

• Provides a zero-pressure-drop path for air and abrasive flow to the blast nozzle
• Every 1 PSI gained or lost in abrasive blasting equals approximately 1.5% production change
• Essential for use with #7 and #8 nozzles
• Full-port coupling blast hose connection ensures unrestricted airflow and abrasive delivery

12VDC Electric Controls

• Improves start/stop response when operating over 100 feet of blast hose
• Helps reduce freezing issues in cold-weather conditions
• Heavy-duty filtered control valve reduces stopping time when the control handle is released

NEMA 4 Rated Control Enclosure

• Dual-chamber cycle controls housed in a weather-resistant NEMA 4 enclosure

Corrosion-Resistant Piping

• Galvanized piping for extended service life
• 1-1/2" piping
• 2" inlet

Heavy-Duty Full-Port Ball Valves

• Maximizes flow while providing reliable shutoff capability

Schedule 80 Heavy-Duty Nipple

• Extended-life construction withstands abrasive wear
• Provides longer service life in demanding applications

Bolt-Clamped Pusher Line

• Simplifies field repairs and maintenance

Combination Valve & APV II Metering System

Combination Valve

• Innovative 2-in-1 design responsible for cycling the upper chamber in dual-chamber systems

APV II (Automatic Plunger Valve II)

• Premium abrasive metering valve with quadruple plunger seal arrangement
• Eliminates air and abrasive carry-over issues
• Prevents plunger and seal jamming common in low-pressure blasting and steel abrasive applications
• Solid machined tungsten carbide plunger and sleeve provide superior wear resistance
• Maintains 100% consistent tolerances
• 1" NPT cleanout port allows:
  • Easy removal of obstructions
  • Vessel draining without removing the metering valve

15' Blowdown Hose Assembly

• Allows remote mounting for greater installation flexibility

9" Adjustable Spider

• Fully adjustable for different abrasive media types and sizes
• Supports proper pop-up sealing by preventing abrasive weight from bearing directly on the pop-up when hopper-fed

Skirted Pop-Up Gasket

• Designed to cut through abrasive material to improve sealing
• Helps prevent abrasive "burping" common with hopper-fed blast pots
• Recommended for large abrasive grit sizes

Union-End Ball Valves

• Allows abrasive shutoff at the bottom of the pot during maintenance
• Enables removal of the abrasive metering valve without emptying the entire vessel

Full-Load Lifting Eyes

• Designed for safe lifting and transportation of a fully loaded vessel
• Simplifies placement, maintenance, and repair operations
