Effective Wet Sandblasting With Electric Pressure Washers

Effective Wet Sandblasting With Electric Pressure Washers
Electric pressure washers from Daimer®’s Super Max ® WS line are not only ideal for high pressure cleaning jobs, they are also effective for wet sandblasting. The Super Max® 8720 WS in particular is a versatile machine that offers both of these cleaning options in one unit. Apart from being a powerful cleaning machine, these electric pressure washers are also portable and can be mounted on a trailer.

These electric pressure washers have a wet sandblasting system that comprises of a flexible sand pickup tool, a metal sand point and Venturi head. Sand is drawn up through the tube and then mixed with high pressure water. This sand/water mixture is then forced through a special nozzle, which also has a valve to control the flow. It is ideal for jobs like removing rust, corrosion, paint and other deposits from metal surfaces. In fact, this wet sandblasting system can restore metals to their original shine.

When used for wet sandblasting, these electric pressure washer can also be used with materials other than sand, like plastic pellets. These machines are also a safer sandblasting option since the user doesn’t have to use the safety measures one has to take with compressed air sandblasting. These machines run on a 5.0 HP NEMA motor and have a pressure rate of up to 2000 psi. They have a flow rate of up to 4 GPM and can be used on a continuous basis.
