Schmidt / Axxiom Abrasive Blasters (Small Pots)

Schmidt / Axxiom Abrasive Blasters (Small Pots)

SKU: P-BMSSMALLPOTS

Abrasive Blast Pots from Schmidt offer versatile, high-performance solutions for abrasive blasting across contractor, industrial, and blast room applications. Whether you need a highly portable unit for field applications where manuverability is key, or a larger machine for high volume blast rooms, the entire range of sizes from 0.9 to 20CF are all built with the same industrial grade made-in-USA workmanship.

Key Features:

  • Available Sizes: 0.9, 1.5, 3.5, 6.5, 10, and 20 cu. ft.
  • Operation Options:
    • Pressure-release ‘blows down’ automatically upon release of the deadman trigger.  It costs less up front versus pressure-hold.
    • Pressure-hold maintains the pressure in the blast pot even after releasing the deadman trigger.  Less abrasive is wasted when the trigger is activated and although it costs more up-front than pressure-release, it can save 15% on abrasive consumption – especially in projects with a lot of on-off deadman activation. Pressure is manually relieved via a ball valve when the pot needs refilled with abrasive.
  • Abrasive Metering Valves  – Thompson® Valve II, MicroValve 3®, and TeraValve XL®
  • Control Options –  Standard Pneumatic, or upgrade to Electric for zero freeze-up issues in cold weather and fastest action – especially when the control line exceeds 100 feet. Response® deadman handles available in either the G2 Paddle-type or the innovative BAABS G3 Trigger-type.
  • Other options:  Long list of available customizable features for any blasting environment including Lids and/or Screens, Stationary or Portable configuration, VBS II™ blowdown suppression for safer, quieter operation and even a hybrid design incorporating an aftercooling dryer with the pot.

Regarding moisture control, it is almost always a good investment to add some form of air dryer or aftercooler in-line with the compressed air source.  Abrasive consumption is reduced, blockages due to wet abrasive are eliminated, and downtime is lower when an appropriately-sized moisture removal system is paired with the blast machine.  In fact, according to the blast pot manufacturer Axxiom, not using an air dryer is one of the top two causes of low blasting productivity (the other being insufficient air supply).
