Routine Maintenance Checklist for Blasting Equipment

A 10-minute inspection today can save hours—or even days—of downtime tomorrow. Consistent maintenance ensures your blasting equipment stays safe, efficient, and job-ready.

Weekly Maintenance Checklist

Blast Pot

  • Inspect valves and gaskets for leaks
  • Drain moisture trap and check pot pressure

Air Compressor

  • Check oil level and drain tanks
  • Clean filters if needed

Blast Hoses & Fittings

  • Look for bulges, cracks, or wear
  • Tighten clamps and quick-connects

Nozzles

  • Check for orifice wear or chipping
  • Replace if internal diameter exceeds spec

Deadman System

  • Confirm signal return
  • Replace any leaking or pinched lines

Post-Job Cleanup

Don’t overlook cleanup—it’s just as important as inspections. Store gear dry, tag damaged parts, and prep for your next job. Regular maintenance extends the life of your nozzles and valves while ensuring operators stay safe with proper safety gear.
