A portable sandblasting system can be used to strip rust, paint, dirt, mold and other unwanted deposits of a variety of surfaces. Using portable blasting equipment to pressure blast allows abrasives to penetrate into the deepest pitted areas of a part or surface. Portable pressure blast systems use a pressurized pot of varying sizes to push media through a hose and out a nozzle. Siphon-type portable blasters are typically used for small, light-duty blasting applications.
