Description
Restoration shops choke on abrasive dust when cleaning rusted parts in small benchtop enclosures. The Cyclone 110VAC Top and Side Opening blast cabinet encloses heavy automotive parts for high-pressure abrasive media blasting. Operating on standard 110-Volt shop current, it fits commercial rebuild shops. It requires an external high-CFM air compressor delivering 15 to 25 CFM at 80 PSI.
The blast chamber uses 16-gauge welded sheet steel with continuous seam welds to prevent abrasive media leakage onto shop floors. A heavy steel expanded metal work grate supports up to 300 pounds of cast-iron heads and transmission cases. Blasting dust destroys budget viewports. This cabinet utilizes replaceable Mylar shield protectors over tempered glass viewports, while the top and side flip doors use thick rubber bulb gaskets that seal tight against high internal air pressure.
Blast Cabinet Hardware Performance Matrix
Fleet mechanics strip rust and carbon scale from heavy engine parts before machining. Dual door openings allow loading bulky castings from the top or side.
- 110-Volt electrical system powers internal flood lighting and dust collection exhaust blowers.
- Top and side door openings permit crane loading of heavy cast-iron cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds.
- High-output siphon blast gun pairs with tungsten carbide nozzles to resist high-velocity abrasive erosion.
- 300-pound capacity steel floor grate supports heavy engine components and transmission casings.
- Replaceable Mylar viewport underlay sheets shield tempered glass from abrasive media etching and clouding.
- Heavy-gauge rubber gauntlet blast gloves protect operator arms from media rebound and abrasive friction.
- Integrated funnel hopper routes used abrasive media into lower siphon tubes for continuous media recycling.
Abrasive Blasting Air Telemetry Data
Air consumption testing reveals a continuous draw of 18 CFM at 80 PSI using a 1/4-inch tungsten carbide nozzle. Internal dust collector blowers pull 400 CFM to keep the chamber under negative air pressure, preventing dust escape into shop air. Internal sound pressure registers 82 dBA at 3 feet during high-pressure glass bead blasting. Viewport illumination measures 1200 Lumens across the work grid. Media flow rate stabilizes at 3.5 pounds per minute of aluminum oxide media under continuous air trigger actuation.
Shop Maintenance Blasting Work Boundaries
Never blast parts using silica sand because microscopic quartz dust causes irreversible silicosis lung damage. Do not purchase this siphon cabinet for heavy commercial wheel rim stripping where high-production direct-pressure pots are required. Wet, oily parts clump abrasive media and choke the siphon gun tube.
- Empty the dust collector canister every 10 operating hours to maintain negative cabinet airflow.
- Inspect rubber blast gloves per week for pinholes, tears, or thin wear patches.
- Replace frosted Mylar viewport shields every 20 hours of blasting to ensure work visibility.
