sand blaster pressure

Centerplate · Feb 4, 2015

Do you guys run sand blaster at full line pressure or do you run them at lower setting. I have just a small sand pot.

The more pressure you run the fast you can get the job done ....

60 to 90 psi for a cabinet blaster. The medium will last a lot
longer. If you are not re using the media, let er fly.

Most have a pop-off valve that determines your pressure. I think the one on mine is around 90-100 #. If you have a homemade one it needs to have a pop-off valve.

Thanks for all the answers. The TP tech tips are really helpful.

I run my home built rig between 90 and 110 psi. and keep it at the lower end on sheet metal to avoid distortion.

You must mean the pressure switch. Pretty much the same as the one on a well pump system. A pop-off is more of a term for the pressure relief valve which is there in case the pressure switch doesn't shut the motor off. it doesn't control the motor.

What I meant was the "blaster pot" has a pop-off valve so doesn't matter how high your compressor is it will blow off down until it is under rated pop - off valve pressure which is under 100. Pop off on blaster itself.

I haven't run my pot blaster in years, but seems like I ran the regulator up all the way and run it full pressure. That thing take a lot of air, so I was probably maintaining between 70 and 100 psi.
