How does sandblasting cabinet work

Sandblasting cabinet is a different type of sandblasting machine which has a cabinet and is a closed form of the machine. In that closed part blasting of contaminants as well as recycling of abrasive media needs a place. There are many other functions which are included like cleaning, recycling as well as the collection of dust materials too. In this sandblasting cabinet system, there is a window from where the operator can see what is going on in the process; there is an opening gate from where the blasting material or blasting surface is kept inside the Sandblasting cabinet.

A typical sandblast cabinet has four components; the containment, the abrasive media blasting system, the abrasive media recycling system, and the dust collection. Basically it is a closed-loop system by that an operator can blast the part and also recycle the abrasive media. The operator drafts the parts from the outline of the cabinet by placing his arms in gloves attached to glove holes on the cabinet, viewing the part through a view window and, typically, turning the blast on and off using a bottom pedal or treadle.

There are three types of  sandblasting cabinet system :

• Wet Blasting Cabinet
