accessories

Note: For safe, efficient blasting, read
and follow the owner's manual and seek
training for everyone who will use this
equipment.

Purpose

High-performance, versatile blast cleaning system removes contamination, corrosion, mill scale, and coatings from most
surfaces. Produces a uniform surface texture, and creates a surface profile to
increase bonding for coatings. See related
literature for additional applications
Model 1042 holds 1 cubic foot of abrasive providing 15 minutes of blasting at
80 psi with a No. 4 (1/4-inch) nozzle.
This unit can operate with as little as 12
cfm of air volume.

Requirements for Operation
These items are required but not included with this equipment:
• Clean, dry, compressed air of sufficient
volume to maintain desired pressure at
the nozzle. Refer to Air Consumption
Chart in Blast Off 2 booklet
(publication stock no. 09294).
• Minimum 12 cfm at 50 psi needed to
close the pop-up valve and pressurize
the blast machine.
• OSHA-required remote control system
that interrupts blasting if operator
should lose control of the nozzle when
blast machine is pressurized.
• NIOSH-approved, type CE, suppliedair respirator.
• Grade D breathing-air supply as
defined by Compressed Gas
Association Commodity Specification:
G-7.1 (Refer to www.cganet.com).
• Abrasive blast media specifically
manufactured for abrasive blasting and
appropriate for your application.
• Appropriate blast suit, work boots,
hearing and eye protection.

Description of Operation

The operator controls blasting from a
remote control handle at the nozzle.
Pressing the handle starts blasting;
releasing it stops blasting. The blast
machine contains abrasive and meters it
into the compressed air stream.

Approvals and Certifications
Blast machine pressure vessel built to
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) specifications for
125-psi working pressure. Vessel is
hydrostatically tested and National
Board-certified.

Remote control system complies with
OSHA regulation 1910.244 (b).
