Choosing the Right Schmidt Blast Pot for Your Job Size
A blast pot is more than just a container for media—it’s your production engine. Choosing the right size blast pot can make or break your productivity and job efficiency.
Why Size Matters
- Too small: Frequent refills, more downtime
 - Too big: Wasted abrasive, unnecessary bulk, higher rental costs
 
Matching pot size to project size improves runtime and operator efficiency.
Common Schmidt Blast Pot Sizes
- 1.5 cu. ft. pot: Perfect for touch-up work, small parts, or mobile repair crews.
 - 3.5 cu. ft. pot: Good for mid-size steel structures, tanks, and heavy-duty field jobs.
 - 6.5 cu. ft. pot: Best for extended blasting, shipyards, or bridge projects.
 
Portable vs. Skid-Mounted
We offer both wheeled and skid-mounted Schmidt pots. Skids are ideal for flatbed transport or jobsite trailers, while wheeled units are easier to reposition.
What Else to Consider?
