About Econoline

The company's product line includes blast cabinets (siphon / direct pressure), dust collectors, blasting media and Econoline sandblaster parts. The brand's dust collectors are designed for capturing and filtering dust particles generated during sandblasting, grinding, welding or cutting applications. They feature a cartridge-style filter that keeps the airflow clean while preventing clogging and have an access trap door for easy dust removal. Econoline's abrasive blasting cabinets are suitable for providing a controlled environment for various abrasive blasting processes. These siphon-feed cabinets are constructed with sturdy materials and feature a transparent viewing window and an entry point for a blasting nozzle. They help contain the abrasive media and debris to prevent it from dispersing into the surrounding environment. These cabinets also include a dust collection system to capture and filter airborne particles, ensuring a cleaner and safer workspace.

Things To Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Econoline MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent ALC, Fervi and Westward model numbers for dust collectors, blast cabinets and accessories. So, if you're looking for a competitor item that is either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Econoline items available.

Shipping

These Econoline products range from small to large sizes. They may require careful packaging as some items might get damaged while shipping. Hence, these items are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

400-PT Reclaim Sandblast Dust Collector

This 400 cfm sandblast dust collector is a combination of both an abrasive reclaimer and dust collector to separate abrasive media from dust and other foreign materials. The abrasive reclaimer uses various mechanisms to separate the reusable abrasive media from the waste material accumulated in the dust collector. It includes a front access door and a hopper trap food for easy dust removal. This dust collector is equipped with an air-actuated vibrator that cleans the filter after the sandblasting process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is abrasive blasting?

Abrasive blasting is a process used to clean, prepare, or modify the surface of a metal surface by propelling abrasive media against it at high velocity. The abrasive media, when propelled by compressed air, impacts the surface and removes contaminants like coatings, rust, scale or other unwanted substances. It is a versatile technique used in various industries for surface preparation, cleaning, and finishing purposes.

How to replace the window of the blasting cabinet?

Simply remove the wing nuts that secure the window frame to the cabinet and then remove the frame & the window. Discard the old window underlayment and replace it with a new piece. Tighten the nuts and the window is ready for use.

How does a siphon-feed blasting cabinet work?

  • The cabinet is equipped with a hopper or container where the abrasive media, such as sand or other types of blasting media is stored.
  • An air compressor supplies compressed air to the blasting cabinet. The air pressure is regulated using a regulator and a gauge to achieve the desired blasting intensity.
  • The blasting gun is then connected to the compressed air supply and has a nozzle at its tip. The nozzle directs the flow of compressed air and creates a low-pressure zone in the gun.
  • Inside the blasting gun, there is a siphon tube that extends into the abrasive media container or hopper. The siphon tube is positioned in such a way that it draws the abrasive media into the airflow.
  • As the compressed air passes through the gun and enters the mixing chamber, it creates a suction effect on the siphon tube, pulling the abrasive media into the airflow.
  • The mixture of compressed air and abrasive media is propelled out of the nozzle at high velocity, directed towards the surface being blasted.
  • Upon impact, the abrasive media removes coatings, contaminants, or other unwanted substances from the surface.
