Media separation is the process of separating dust and contaminants from reusable media using an abrasive separator system
Recommended for dirty applications for which paint, rust, scale, etc. is being removed
Designed to keep the blast media free of contaminants
Media-cleaning capability provides longer media life
Separators quickly pay for themselves by minimizing media waste; How does it work?
During operation, media from the blast cabinet is suctioned through a hose and into the abrasive cyclone separator
As the media spirals in a downward vortex, the heavier reusable media particles are thrown to the outside and filtered through a specially designed screen, trapping any debris
Dust and fine particles collect in the centre of the vortexwhere they are pulled out through the suction tube and exhausted into a filter bag or dust collector
The cleaned media is then re-siphoned and therefore recycled back to the blast gun; A 400-CFM abrasive cyclone separator is recommended for use with the glass beads or other fine medias.; A 600-CFM abrasive cyclone separator is recommended for almost any type of medias including glass beads and aluminum oxide; dBA: less 85
