All wet blasting systems are not created equal.
Before you make a decision based on price alone, here are 5 important things to consider.
-
Testing and manufacturing in Holbrook, NY
Factory trained local service professionals
Spare parts on the shelf at our USA factory and stocking distributors
Hundreds of references and repeat customers in the USA
-
Easy-to-replace, long-wear components
High intensity LED lighting
FRP fiberglass grate work surface will not permanently deflect from loads
-
Factory-installed filtered exhaust systems - HEPA options per OSHA standards available
Can be placed near sensitive processes
Low noise – below 80dB
-
USA-supplied high HP motor
Consistent, repeatable delivery of slurry—
from one to a dozen or more nozzles simultaneously—guaranteed.3,000-5,000 hours typical impeller wear life
30-minute standard quick maintenance
-
Efficient use of media
Standard stainless steel de-mister included
Reuseable 5-50 micron final rinse filtration
Differential pressure gauge to monitor filters

COMPETITORS
Service and support from our US factory or your local stocking, trained distributor.
United States presence is primarily sales.
In-house lab for for application testing or through your distributor.
The most streamlined lead times, on average, in our industry.
Long turnaround times — if available.
Longer average lead times, especially from overseas.
Easy to replace, inexpensive, high wear resistant, noise reducing thick gummed rubber curtains.
Thin layer of curtain or adhered rubber. Must be ground off metal surface to replace.
High intensity, energy preferred LED lighting. Directed through view window to prevent shadowing of parts.
Standard fluorescent bulb(s) mounted behind glass. Shadows parts. Difficult to access to replace.
FRP fiberglass grate work surface will not permanently deflect from loads.
Metal mesh will permanently deflect from loads.
Available mist-free HEPA filtered exhaust maximizes visibility and exceeds OSHA standards.
Exhaust goes directly to plant surroundings. Base equipment may not meet OSHA standards.
Dust and mist free equipment can be placed near sensitive processes.
May not be placed near sensitive processes.
Low noise. Under 80dB at 50 PSIG.
Up to 90 dB for pump alone.
USA-supplied 5 HP pump designed to exceed application requirements.
Foreign sourced— low capacity.
Up to 50% or higher concentration capacity with guaranteed repeatable homogeneous stirring of the slurry by high efficiency pump powered stir nozzles, even when sump contents have settled dormant in sump.
Low concentration, inconsistent capacity.
One small stir nozzle and/ or one compressed air tube “bubbling” in sump.
High pump impeller longevity. 2,000 - 5,000 hours is typical. Longest wear life in the industry.
Reports indicate well under 1,000 hours typical.
Designed for easy standard maintenance in under 30 minutes.
Hours.
Standard low speed triple longevity operation with High/Low speed special applications option.
High speed only. Excess noise and lower wear life of components.
Closed loop filtration and rinsing are standard on all systems with multiple filtration and oil separation options available.
Standard open loop flows into drain. Reports indicate that basic closed loop options run into the thousands of dollars.
Return water as clean as 5 microns for manual rinsing of parts and on demand pressurized view window rinsing. No wiper/motor as it would wear out the glass quickly.
Most install a fresh water open loop supply to rinse parts or view window. Wiper/ motor with single rinse tube.
Mostly based overseas.
Engineered and manufactured in our Holbrook, NY factory.
High speed only. Excess noise and lower wear life of components.
Standard low speed triple longevity operation with High/Low speed special applications option.
