Micro Abrasive Processing is accomplished by propelling a finely graded abrasive powder into a stream of compressed air, through an abrasive resistant hose and out a miniature nozzle manually or automatically positioned at the work piece.
There are 5 functions in micro sandblasting that control the process. They are: 1) Air Pressure 2) Nozzle Diameter 3) Distance of the Nozzle from the Work piece 4) Powder Flow Rate and 5)Type of Abrasive Powder used.
The SWAM BLASTER® line of micro sandblast machines allows complete process control by offering adjustable air pressure regulation, independent powder flow regulation, nozzle assortments from .006″ to .090″ standard (custom nozzles are available), a wide variety of precisely graded micro abrasive powders and easily interchangeable powder orifice plates.
What makes a micro sandblasting system so effective for cutting, texturing, etching, cleaning, drilling, de-burring and so much more is the ability to propel the abrasive powder at various velocities. The higher the air pressure and the smaller the nozzle diameter, the faster the abrasive particle is propelled at the work piece allowing optimum abrading results. When a less aggressive result is desired, the air pressure can be reduced, the amount of powder in the air stream can be adjusted and/or the nozzle diameter can be increased to slow down the velocity of the abrasive particle thus causing less material removal upon impact.
