A production suction-type blast cleaning machine with a small footprint, the BNP-160 fits neatly into the workflow stream and cuts out unnecessary part handling and worker movement. For small, occasional batches — or steady use up to eight hours a day — it processes 25-pound loads in a 2-gallon tumble basket.
Why a tumble basket instead of a hand cabinet
Blasting a tray of small parts by hand means turning every piece to reach the back of it, and blasting holes in your gloves while you do. The basket rotates the load under a fixed gun so every surface presents itself. You load it, set the timer and walk away.
Features
- 2-gallon tumble basket handles loads up to 25 lbs
- Reclaimer cleans and returns the media instead of consuming it
- Reverse-pulse dust collector fires with each basket revolution, so the filter stays clear through the cycle
- 60-minute timer — set the cycle and leave it
- One #5 ZERO automatic blast gun
- Suits most fine-mesh blast media, and switches between them easily
- Runs on ordinary 115V single-phase shop power
Common applications
- Remove residual sand from metal castings
- Beautify steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and other metals with a uniform matte finish
- Remove burrs, parting lines, flashings and other defects from castings and injection-molded parts
- Shot peen springs, journals, bearings, valve stems and tools to enhance strength and reliability
- Clean mold release and material buildup from molds
