DIRECT PRESSURE CABINETS
ACE Direct Pressure Systems utilize a pressure pot that accelerates the media from the pot through the blast hose, to the nozzle. A direct pressure cabinet unit has the same amount of pressure in the pressure pot vessel and passing through the air line that connects to the outlet of the abrasive metering valve. In most applications, work can be done four times faster than with a siphon system as the abrasive is delivered at a much higher velocity.
How Direct Pressure Works :
Pressure Systems utilize a pressure pot that when
pressurized with media in the pot, accelerates the media
from the pot through the blast hose to the nozzle .
A direct pressure unit has the same amount of
pressure in the pressure pot vessel and passing through
the air line that connects to the outlet of the abrasive
metering valve .
Sometimes direct pressure systems are referred to as
gravity fed or equal pressure units . While the abrasive
'free flows' into the air stream, the operator can better
control, or direct, the blasting process at both low and
high end pressures .
In most applications, work can be done four times faster
than with a siphon cabinet as the abrasive is delivered
at a much higher velocity . Media Control valve shown in
full open position in the illustration above . Under normal
operating conditions, the valve handle would be in the
7 o'clock position
