Used Sandblasting in Colorado, USA

Overview

Sandblasting and shotblasting equipment remove paint, rust, coatings and scale using high‑velocity abrasive media. Systems range from portable blast pots and wheel/shot blasters to enclosed blast cabinets and integrated dust collectors. Buyers choose by material, surface area, production rate and portability — from single‑operator handheld rigs to truck‑ or loader‑mounted units for heavy civil work. Proper compressor size, abrasive type and dust control are critical for safe, efficient blasting.

FAQ

How do I choose the right blast system for loader‑mounted or heavy site work?

Match pot or wheel capacity to expected production, choose a durable pressure or wheel blaster rated for continuous use, and verify mounting points, weight and power or compressor needs for your loader or transport vehicle.

What abrasives should I buy for different tasks?

Use garnet or steel shot for aggressive metal prep, glass bead for finishing, and softer abrasives for delicate surfaces. Consider recyclability and waste disposal rules when choosing media.

What should I check when buying used sandblasting equipment?

Inspect wear parts (nozzles, hoses, blast pot liners, impellers), check pressure vessel certification, test dust collector seals and controls, review compressor hours and maintenance records, and look for corrosion or weld repairs.

How is blasting equipment typically shipped and what do I need to prepare?

Equipment is palletized or crated and shipped by flatbed or container. Prepare lifting points, drain fluids, secure loose parts, and disclose weight and volume. Heavy or oversized units may need permits and escort services.

Are there special shipping rules for abrasive media?

Most abrasive media are non‑hazardous, but some spent media can contain hazardous contaminants. Declare any hazardous residue, follow local disposal rules, and label shipments if required by carrier.

What regular maintenance keeps a blast system reliable?

Replace nozzles and hoses on wear, inspect liners and valves, clean or change dust collector filters, monitor compressor oil and filters, and keep records of media cleanliness and pressure settings.
