Critical buying points in these days of justifying expenditure in hard pressed markets.
The cabinet is designed to take large sheet glass with a continuous felt lined entry slot around the top and sides of the machine - which is sealed during blasting, and a removable support roller mechanism that transports the sheet glass smoothly through the machine.
Etching takes place inside the sealed cabinet and can be undertaken by either the model 900 gun which delivers high media flow for etching large surface areas or at the flick of a switch select the smaller model 400 gun which is ideally suited for intricate etching, stencilling or cleaning.
For blast finishing or surface texturing on larger items of glass or stone sculptures the sheet glass support mechanism can be quickly removed and the items placed on the polyurethane coated turntable; perfect for use with glass or non-metal substances to prevent marking.
Large armholes give the operator maximum flexibility for reaching areas inside the cabinet and the foot operated pressure trigger for the blast guns allows both hands free for object and gun manipulation.
Finishing the specification is high quality internal lighting, coupled with efficient dust extraction allowing excellent operator visibility and a sealed perforated floor, sieves out any oversize contaminants such as investment from jewellery or glass castings to prevent media flow problems.
