Shot Blast Vacuum System

The Abrasive Blasting Industry uses many different types of media, but one thing they all have in common is the need to collect and re-use the spent media. For media types like steel shot or glass beads, manually collecting that media can be time-consuming and has the potential to cause injury. By eliminating the manual collection process, you cannot only increase productivity but create a better ergonomic environment for your employees.

For selecting the vacuum it is very important to go with a company that has experience moving shot blast media with a vacuum. American Vacuum provides shot blast vacuum systems capable of collecting a variety of blasting media. The aerodynamic features coupled with the weight of the media can make moving the media very challenging. Having the proper levels of vacuum and the correct hose sizes go a long way in ensuring that you will have a system that works. American Vacuum has provided services and worked with all different types of blasting media and has the expertise to build a system for your needs.

We have worked with many types of blasting media:

  • Aluminum Oxide
  • Corn Cob Grit
  • Glass Beads
  • Steel Grit
  • Steel Shot
  • Walnut Shells
  • Crushed Glass
