Portable Sandblasting Machines

The national average ranges between $3,000 and $7,500 for 1,500 square feet, with most homeowners spending around $5,250 to lightly sandblast 1,500 square feet using soda or aluminum oxide.You should use a tank with a minimum of 100 PSI for optimum efficiency with any abrasive sandblasting project. If you work with a lower PSI, you'll add a significant amount of time to your project. If you reduce your blasting pressure by half, your pressure cleaning project will take four times as long.Using sandblasting for cleaning applications can be effective, but it's also dangerous, not environmentally friendly, and difficult to clean up. Laser cleaning, on the other hand, provides a safer, less-damaging alternative to sandblasting.Do It Yourself. If it's not movable and you want to do it yourself you will need to get the right equipment for your project. You will need to rent an air compressor, blast pot, hoses and wand/nozzle from a local equipment rental store.You'll need to start with a unit that has a minimum of 3000 PSI of water pressure. Add a sandblasting attachment and you can transform your pressure washer into a whole new tool. Next on your list, get an ideal abrasive like a crushed glass abrasive, which contains no hazardous materials and is lightweight.
