Db 800 dustless blasting

Types of DB 800 dustless blasterings

A dustless blasting DB800 is a more efficient and environmentally friendly way to complete many types of abrasive blast cleaning or surface preparations. Several Models of the DB800 are available, including the standard, the wet DB 800 dustless blasting trailer unit, the DB 800 multi-blast pot, and the new DB800 P7 model with a 7 m3 blasting pot. Other Models also include a completely portable unit that can be loaded onto a pickup truck or small flatbed. This unit is known as the DB800E Portable Blaster. All these Models have their characteristics and are designed to meet specific industry needs.

• Dustless DB800: In the case of the Dustless DBA800, there won’t be any need for a dust recovery system as it controls dust at the nozzle. It also doesn’t require an air receiver tank to store compressed air. Furthermore, the cost of buying a Dustless DB800 is lower than a full-size DB500, 600, or 700.
• DB800 Standard: The standard DB800 blasting machine uses water to suppress dust at the worksite. This machine uses water from an external source, such as a garden hose, a water tank, or a controlled pump and water enclosure. The water flow can be adjusted according to the amount of dust generated during blasting. Like all Models, it doesn't create any harmful environmental hazards and is safe for people and the surroundings.
• Wet DB800: The wet DB800 is like the standard version, but it has a 200-liter on-board water tank. So, unlike the standard version, it doesn't require an external water source for blasting. It can be used in locations where water supply isn't available.
• DB800 Multi Blast Pot: This particular model of the DB800 has an additional facility; it has a multi-blast pot system. So, it can easily accommodate and operate with multiple types or sizes of abrasives for different blasting applications.
• DB800 P7 model with a 7 m3 blasting pot: The DB800P706 m3 has a larger size capacity. Therefore, it is ideal for industries and businesses that have large-scale and heavy-duty blasting jobs.
• DB800E Portable Blaster: Equipped with a safety lock, the DB800E Portable Blaster also has a portable air compressor. As a result, it can blast anywhere with or without a controlled environment at an elevated height.

Factors such as the work environment, the type of surfaces that need to be blasted, and the size and scale of the project determine which kind of machine will be used among these.

• Store the DB800 in a dry location away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Lubricate moving parts and inspect hoses, fittings, and connections on a monthly basis.
• Drain the air compressor tank periodically to remove moisture.
• Keep the blast cabinet lock working properly by lubricating it regularly.
• Inspect the filtration system and clean or replace filters as necessary. Run a test blast after doing so.

Scenarios

The D B800 dustless blaster is a versatile tool useful in several industries. Here are typically where one would expect to find the blasting machine in use:

• Painting

  The Dustless blaster DB800 is often used as a paint stripper. The item can remove paint from surfaces quickly when using soda dust or other media. This is especially true for large surfaces like tanks, bridges, and boats. The machine has precise control, which is perfect for removing paint from intricate areas without damaging the underlying surface. Dustless blasting is an environmentally friendly way of stripping paint off surfaces as it reduces contamination and debris.

• Marine

  In marine applications, the DB800 dustless blaster is great for cleaning boat hulls, removing barnacles, and any marine growth buildup. This enables the ship to move smoothly and at its top speed without any impediments.

  Additionally, marine professionals use dustless blasters to get rid of rust, fouling, or oxidation on different boat parts. Common parts are the propellers, shafts, and transom. The sooner these carinals are taken care of, the less likely the boat will rust and corrode, leading to more expensive repairs.

  Aftermarket, a dustless blasting machine can strip boats and ships of old paint. Doing so prepares the surface for inspection and new coats of protective paint.

• Automotive

  Mechanics and body repair professionals use the DB800 dustless blasting machine to prepare automotive body parts for painting. It achieves a clean and well-prepped surface for optimal paint adhesion by removing rust, old paint, and contaminants.

  Dustless blasting is also great for doing paint removal from car bodies and components, including classic and vintage cars. The blasting process is less aggressive than others, reducing the risk of warping or damaging delicate body panels.

  Other uses in the automotive industry include cleaning and de-carbonizing engine parts, removing graffiti from vehicles, and cleaning and refurbishing automotive molds and dies.

• Graffiti

  Urban areas with walls covered in graffiti can benefit from a dustless blasting machine. The machine makes it easy to get rid of unwanted graffiti from different surfaces. Whether sandstone, brick, or concrete, the process is quick, efficient, and non-damaging.

  This is one of the non-painting applications where an abrasive medium like crushed glass or garnet is often used. The machine uses less water, reducing the risk of permanent staining and damage to the affected surface.

How to Choose DB 800 Dustless Blasting

Purchasing the right dustless blasting equipment is a challenging task. Some key things to consider when selecting the ideal machine are outlined below.

• Task Requirements

  Several project-specific factors like size and surface material of the blasting area, type and level of contaminants, desired surface finish, blast media, and project size and budget constraints should be evaluated before buying a dustless blaster db800.

• Equipment Features

  Nozzle size and type, pressure settings, moisture separator, and built-in filtration system are some of the critical features of a dustless blasting machine that need to be analyzed closely and compared with similar machines before making a final buying decision.

• Mobility

  Is the blaster going to be used only at one fixed location, or will it be transported to multiple different sites? The answer to this will determine whether to buy a dustless blasting machine with inherent mobility or not. If it is going to be used at multiple locations, a machine with inherent mobility will need to be studied further to see if it matches the task requirements. If not, then a machine with inherent mobility must be selected.

• Power Source

  All dustless blasting machines are not the same. The power source they use varies. Some require hydraulic power from the compressor, while others from an air compressor connected to the machine. Before final purchasing, the compatibility of the machine's power source and the project's requirements should be thoroughly checked to avoid any unpleasant incidents during usage.

DB 800 dustless blasting Q&A

Q1. How much power does the DB800 Dust Free Blast use?

A1. The amount of power used by a dustless blasting machine depends on the size of the machine and the type of part being blasted. A small machine can use around 20-30 gallons of blasting media per hour, while larger machines use more. The pressure used during the blast also affects how much media is used.

Q2. How thick can DB800 dustless blasting penetrate?

A2. It depends on several factors, like the size of the machine, the kind of blasting media used, the air pressure of the compressor, and the part being blasted. ADB800 dustless blasting can remove surface coatings like paint, rust, and oxide, and scales from several materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and plastic.

Q3. What type of compressor for dustless blasting DB?

A3. A wide variety of air compressors are satisfactory for dustless blasting. Typically, a rotary screw compressor or a piston compressor is used, and its pressurized vessel must meet the requirements and standards outlined in the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) guidelines.

Q4. Is dustless blasting worth it?

A4. While it may cost more than traditional blasting methods, dustless blast media is more efficient. It recycles itself throughout the process, lowering operational costs. No additional expenses for environmental containment add to cost savings.
