Wet Sandblaster Pressure Washers — Power-Washing Magnified |
Wet sandblasting lends more power to ordinary pressure washing. Sand or baking soda is mixed with water and applied on hard surfaces to remove paint, rust, and other chemicals. The abrasive action of the sand, combined with the high pressure blast of water, spot cleans surfaces faster than almost any other method.
Wet sandblaster pressure washers should have moderate to high pressure levels. All 1600 psi electric power washers are ideal for wet sandblasting as long as they are equipped with sandblasting kits. The best power washer will have flow rates of 3 GPM or higher. Cold water pressure washers may also be used for wet sandblasting. Never use hot water when the sandblasting function is in use.
Operators looking to strip paint, rust, and other chemicals from metal surfaces often use wet sandblaster pressure washers. They can remove paint and grime from sidewalks, buildings, bridges, and more.
Wet sandblasting is safer than dry sandblasting because moist sand discharged through the machine nozzle can be directed more accurately, reducing the risk of injury to the operator. Wet sand does not create dust; therefore cleaning is safer and clean up is reduced.
The best power washer for indoor use is powered by electricity. They do not produce fumes that can irritate operators working indoors. Electric machines may be used outdoors where electricity supply is available or with a generator. Otherwise, it is best to use a gas powered machine.
Portability is an important feature particularly if you plan to use wet sandblaster pressure washers across different neighborhoods or buildings. These pressure washers are ideal for industrial settings where a single machine serves many different types of functions such as cleaning, repainting, and rust removal. |
