R&D Media Blaster Cabinets by Media Blast®

R&D media blaster cabinets are designed to accommodate abrasive blasting applications that require a large, Heavy Duty 100% welded cabinet to contain the blast. They also use a larger gun size than light duty models. These machines have dust collectors designed for more intermittent machine use to clean specific areas and not the whole surface. 

What is R&D Abrasive Blasting?

R&D media blasters use a high-pressure stream of abrasive material to clean, polish, or prepare a surface. They do this by removing unwanted contaminants such as paint, rust, dirt, and other surface coatings. Compressed air propels abrasive particles (like glass beads or steel shot) against a surface at high velocity. The choice of abrasive material and abrasive delivery types depend on many factors like the part and part shape and the intended outcome. General purpose, R&D machines might not be used daily, but intermittently throughout a project. Because the cabinet is Heavy Duty, you can also use features for heavy parts. For daily operation, and higher production, always look at Industrial designed cabinets. Industrial machines use even larger, faster gun sizes with larger dust collector filter storage.
