This month during our monthly maintenance of equipment, we found a damaged part inside one of the soda pots. We knew based on the performance of the soda pot that the part was beginning to fail but this is the worst we’ve seen to date. In the images below, the old piece is on the left while the replacement part is on the right. This tip along with the o-ring it fits into, control the amount of blasting media that flow out into the blast hose. Many of the blasting medias cannot be recycled, so to manage costs being able to predict the amount of media used per square foot of blasting is essential.
