Willys Jeep Rescue: Popcorn's Frame Gets SANDBLASTED!! RESULTS ARE AWESOME!
What happens here
The blasting professionals from Piedmont Dustless Blasting NC explain their system. They specify that while 'dustless blasting' uses water and rust inhibitors, they will be performing 'dust blasting' (dry blasting) on the Jeep frame because they are in an open field, eliminating concerns about dust affecting neighbors or nearby objects. They also highlight that they use crushed bottle glass (recycled beer bottles) as the abrasive media, adhering to EPA regulations that prohibit the use of sand due to the harmful silica dust it produces. The equipment consists of a 50-horsepower Kohler diesel-powered rotary air compressor, an air dryer to remove moisture from the air (crucial for dry blasting), a moisture separator, a blast pot for holding the glass media, and a 150-gallon water tank with an air-powered pump (though water is not used for this specific job). The entire system is self-contained and mobile, requiring only fuel and media.
Goal: The blasting professionals explain their dustless blasting system, detailing its components and the advantages of their method, including media choice and safety.
