VRS 1 Vacuum Blasting Recovery System – Suction Blast

The VRS1 Vacuum Blaster System is ideal for smaller spot blasting and weld cleaning jobs. A very minimal amount of garnet/dust escapes into the air with this unit setup as the vacuum sucks the garnet back into the hopper after it impacts the substrate.

This VRS1 operates on a suction blast principle and does not reuse the abrasive, stopping any re-contaimination of the substrate.

Expected blasting production up to 1 m² per hour.

Minimum air supply of 150cfm/100psi is required to run this unit. Higher cfm rates will mean bigger nozzle use and much more effective and efficient blasting.

APPLICATIONS

Vacuum recovery of spent abrasive
Blast and Vacuum
Economical Set up
Highly portable

Blast and Vacuum Work head Options

When you are looking to buy or rent a blast and vacuum system, you will also need to buy a workhead that joins the blasting into one spot with the vacuum. These workheads come in different styles and shapes, and have considerations that you want to think about. Here we are going to discuss a few of them, but to really learn more, contact one of our team, they are experts in advising what equipment will get your job done the safest and the fastest.

Large Blast and Vacuum workhead – this is the largest workhead available. This is best used on large flat surfaces where the wheels help to keep the head flush and sealed to the surface.

Standard Blast and Vacuum Work head – this is the typical blast and vac workhead that is used with most systems. It has the most flexibility and has changeable brushes to let you blast into corners – internal and external corners.

Right-Angled Blast and Vac work head – this is designed for when you need to get into tight spaces or under beams. This workhead has to use a smaller blast nozzle and rebound the abrasive to work, so your production rates will more then halve – so budget this in your project.

MiteyMite blast and Vac work head – This is for use with the small VRS 1 unit for suction blasting.

Piston Grip Blast and Vac – this works with the MiniBRS and is comfortable to hold when blasting.

Operating Insight

Man-handing the hoses when you are doing blast and vacuuming is not easy/quite cumbersome. We always recommend that you have someone holding the workhead and a helper holding the hoses. They can then switch tasks when the first operator gets tired.

Components you need to buy with a Blasting Recovery Vacuum System

When you hire a Blast and Vac System you are likely to also need to purchase the following.

TigerFlex Vacuum Hose

TigerFlex is Heavy duty vacuum hose that has a smooth bore, but thick inner liner to give it a long lasting working life. It has crush resistant, spiral reinforcement ribs that keep it from collapsing, but is flexible enough to go around corners.

For hazardous lead paint removal projects, the vacuum hose must be purchased.

TigerFlex Vacuum Hose Sizes available include; 2”, 3”, 4”, 6”, 8”
