Sandblasting guns "Russian master"

Sandblasting guns "Russian master" can be an excellent alternative to products for the same purpose from other manufacturers. The modifications PS-10 with recirculation and PS-2 deserve attention. It is also worth paying attention to the features of dust-free models.

The sandblasting gun "Russian Master" allows you to quickly and soundly clean almost any hard surface. All the main varieties of this technique belong to the dust-free category. The abrasive is recirculated inside. A special cap is used to isolate the nozzle. Optimal force and rate of impact on the surface is guaranteed.

The closed cycle allows just to exclude dusting and reduce powder costs. The equipment can work in conjunction with a conventional household or industrial compressor. The main thing is to create a pressure of over 6 atmospheres. The products of "Russian Master" are suitable for cleaning metal surfaces of almost any area. To solve specific problems, nozzle attachments can be used.

Pistols "Russian Master" have proven to be excellent in car repair. They can be used to repair and restore various metal products. A very important area of ​​use is the cleaning of corrosion in small foci.

For feeding to the surface, you can apply:

• typical quartz sand (be careful, this is a dangerous option);

• copper slag;

• more durable nickel slag;

• corundum.

A typical delivery set includes, in addition to the tool itself, interchangeable nozzles, templates, bags for abrasive substances and clamps for fixing them. The reviews indicate:

• the ability to work in closed rooms;

• ease of changing nozzles;

• optimal recirculation of the working fluid;

• suitability for work in hard-to-reach places;

• suitability for work with low-power compressors;

• fully justified price;

• small size of "pistols";

• the rigidity of the nozzles and their insufficiently tight fit;

• slight dusting through the bag.

With a directed flow of abrasive, dirt and plaque can be removed. An alternative possibility of the Russian Master pistols is to change the surface texture and apply engraving. After processing, optimal adhesion of varnishes and paints to the surface is guaranteed. The abrasive cleans the surface even where a simple tool cannot access. The general principle is the same as in spray guns:

• air accumulates inside the compressor;

• after reaching a critical pressure, it is pumped into the pistol;

• the discharged area tightens the abrasive;

• individual particles are accelerated up to 40 m / s;

• air is discharged through the nozzle and its impact on the treated surface.

The PS-4 Bottom Tank Sandblasting Gun has a very good reputation. The model is designed for small amounts of work. The device is mobile and suitable for working with local corrosion foci. Even hard-to-reach areas can be cleaned using a variety of abrasives. The design pressure is 4.8 bar, in the maximum mode it reaches 10 bar.

The manufacturer focuses on a well-thought-out nozzle configuration that guarantees high performance. It also achieves an optimal balance between power and precision. Efficient machining of cast and stamped discs is guaranteed.It is possible to process the surface qualitatively only with the right choice of abrasive. There are several other excellent models from the "Russian Master".

A striking example of this is the PS-2. The abrasive can be supplied through a hose or tank. The working pressure is between 4 and 8 bar. At the maximum, it can reach 10 bar. It is planned to be equipped with a ¼ inlet connection.

Even more advanced is sandblasting with the PS-10 recirculation system. The model is designed to work with a wide variety of abrasive materials, including washed quartz sand. A special recirculation system reduces abrasive costs. The delivery set includes a whole set of templates and attachments. Precise cleaning of local areas is guaranteed, while the room can not be particularly clogged with anything.

The abrasive is ejected from the PS-10 at a high speed. It is then not scattered in different directions, but is held after colliding with the surface to be trimmed inside the rubber cap. Then, together with the air, this mass flows back into the working bag. The design is optimized for smooth surfaces and the vast majority of fittings.

Choosing the right location is critical. Only work in a closed room of a specialized workshop or site guarantees 100% that even individual grains of sand will not get where they should not be. You can work outdoors with gates, fences and other large-scale surfaces. You can collect any remaining abrasive by laying out the floor with linoleum or oilcloth.

Good sandblasting only works in excellent lighting conditions, otherwise there is a high chance of missing something.

It is imperative to remove all unnecessary items that you do not plan to handle. Otherwise, they can be easily damaged. Sandblaster must wear special safety goggles. Only glasses made of high-quality glass, tightly pressed against the skin, will do. Plastic models fade too quickly under the influence of grains of sand and other abrasives, and it is impossible or very difficult to deal with this.

A respirator must also be worn. A simple face mask is not enough - you need reliable respiratory protection. It is also required to wear tight clothes made of tear-resistant fabric and the same headgear. The head of the abrasive and the rate of its delivery are determined by the type of surface and the problem being solved. It is best to hold the pistol nozzle at a 45 degree angle for the particles to be more effective. The retention time in one place is determined empirically.

You cannot use simple street sand. It quickly disables even the most undemanding devices.... And the effect on the surface is not very good either.

Quartz sand is cheap and readily available... However, its harmfulness to health is undeniable. It is recommended to use corundum when working on hard materials. Cupslag is safer than quartz and economical. But even when working with him, you cannot do without protective devices.
