Summary

It often takes years for abrasive blasting professionals to understand which size hose and nozzle will most efficiently clean or prep a surface from one project to another. Sometimes, it’s simply not having the right system for the size of the job, location, frequency of use or what is being blasted (i.e. substrate). With so many different variables, it’s important to understand each and every one as well as how to create the right combination for maximum production.

In this webinar, participants will learn about the factors they should consider before purchasing an abrasive blasting machine as well as how to choose the right hose, nozzle and compressor for a wide range of jobs. Also get deeper understanding around selecting a media type, setting a blast pressure and getting precise control from Graco’s EcoQuip 2 abrasive metering valve to achieve optimal performance.
