The compressor size depends on the nozzle size being used rather than the blast pot itself. For example, a 6 mm nozzle requires significantly less air than a 10 mm or 12 mm nozzle. We can recommend the correct compressor capacity based on 250cfm and greater than. Hose length is also a factor because the longer the hose the more pressure lost.

Elcometer blast machines are suitable for most common blasting abrasives, including garnet, aluminium oxide, copper slag, steel grit, steel shot, chilled iron, glass bead and other compatible expendable or reusable media.

No, the AGV valve does still hold some pressure, but we don’t consider this as pressure hold.

Dimensions and weight vary depending on the Blast Machine model (40L, 100L, 200L or 285L). Full technical specifications are available on the product datasheet or can be supplied upon request.

Whilst the Contractor and Performance Blast Pots are rated to 12 bar working pressure, the Elcometer Performance HP is rated up to 15 bar ensuring unrivalled productivity. Both Elcometer’s Performance ranges can reduce operational costs by over 30%, when used within an optimised blasting system and offer upsized piping and welding for more airflow. Elcometer’s range of Blast Pots are supported by a global distribution network alongside readily available spare parts and technical support.

The Elcometer Contractor Blast Machine range offers a robust, cost-effective solution for general blasting applications. Whilst the Elcometer Performance & Performance HP Blast Machine ranges incorporate an upgraded abrasive metering system that provides finer control, more consistent abrasive flow and improved productivity, particularly in demanding applications. Whilst the Contractor and Performance Blast Pots are rated to 12 bar working pressure, the Elcometer Performance HP is rated up to 15 bar ensuring unmatched productivity on large-scale projects.

Yes. Elcometer blast pots are supplied with a pneumatic remote control (deadman) system, allowing the operator to start and stop blasting safely from the nozzle.

The main consumables required for Elcometer Blast Machines include blast nozzles, blast hose, nozzle holders, coupling gaskets, safety R-clips, whip checks and twinline hose. The replacement interval depends on operating hours, abrasive type and working pressure.

A standard Elcometer blast pot includes the pressure vessel, abrasive metering valve, pop-up valve, moisture separator, pressure gauge, remote control valve, deadman handle and associated pipework. Kit packages also include blast hose, nozzle holder, nozzle, couplings, whip checks, gaskets and twinline hose.

In many cases, yes. Standard blast hoses, nozzles and couplings can often be used with Elocmeter Blast Machines, provided they have compatible thread types and dimensions. Our team can confirm whether your existing parts are compatible with your existing equipment.
