Trial Purpose:
To evaluate baking soda blasting unit
Date Run:
01/24/2002Experiment Procedure:
Several client supplied parts were cleaned for 5 -10 minutes using a BCS Blasting unit with sodium bicarbonate media. The system operated between 85-110 psi. The parts were cleaned for a minute at a time, allowing the dust to settle and pressure to increase to improve blasting effectiveness.
Success Rating:
A follow up test, usually based on company input.Conclusion:
The major concern with the baking soda blasting was visibility. An improvement to the filtration/vacuum system could take care of this problem. A second question was raised about automation.
