An abrasive blasting cabinet is a closed structure in which the abrasive blasting of the workpiece takes place. Cabinet allows avoiding any type of pollution like air & noise pollution. For different types of abrasive media, the cabinet may differ on chemical properties & behavior.

Applications Of Abrasive Blasting Cabinet

Overview of Abrasive Blasting Cabinet

There are two primary ways that sandblast media is delivered by a sand blasting cabinet.

• First is suction where blast media is delivered through a sand blasting nozzle by the force of air pulling across media and conveying it to the sand blasting nozzle. 
• The second method is where a blasting pot is pressurized with air and the pressure forces sand blasting media through the blast nozzle.

Suction grit blasting cabinet are typically slower at finishing a given part but more affordable than a pressure blasting cabinet. They will also be unlikely to produce a change in the surface of a product. pressure blasting cabinet, on the other hand, are more expensive to purchase initially but allow for higher production and allow for the removal of stubborn surface contaminants with greater ease (like powder coatings).
