in many cases, easier to use and
more reliable in the field than its
predecessors.
The vapor abrasive blasting method
gives the operator more control over
the water/abrasive mixture, which
often results in a reduced amount
of media expended. It uses far less
water than other methods; normally
0.5 to 1 quart of water per minute. It
also reduces dust by up to 92% over
traditional dry blasting which means
less containment and clean-up.
Select our Reader e-Card at paintsquare.com/ric

How does it work? Water and

abrasive are combined in a pot under
water pressure and then precisely
metered into the airflow. When
wet abrasive impacts a surface, the
additional water weighs the particles
down and creates a dustless effect.
Since EcoQuip 2 uses less water
than slurry or other water-based
technologies, pools of water arent left
behind so there is less need to worry
about toxic runoff.
