Common Applications
Vapor blasters are commonly used in industrial and commercial surface preparation environments:
Each application affects required pot size, water usage, and equipment footprint.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Equipment
Blast pot size impacts how long operators can blast before refilling. Too small leads to frequent refills and reduced productivity. Larger pots support longer blast cycles and higher production. Pot size should align with job duration and surface area.
How water is introduced affects flexibility and setup. AmphiBlast units can be used wet or dry, with water injected at the nozzle and metered as needed. EcoQuip is a slurry system where abrasive is mixed with water inside the pot. Wet/dry flexibility lets crews adjust water usage without changing media setup.
Where and how the unit is placed matters. Portable units have a smaller footprint and are easier to maneuver. Skid-mounted units require a forklift and more space. Trailer-mounted units are self-contained but require access and placement room.
Choosing the Right Size for Your Job
Common Rental Scenarios & Recommendations
Match blast pot size to expected runtime and surface area.
Decide between wet/dry flexibility or slurry operation.
Plan placement and access for skid or trailer-mounted units.
Confirm power availability for electric operation.
Allow space for water supply and refilling.
