Blast / Jet Machine Components

	System Options / Component Types:
	Your choices are...
	Abrasive Injector		Abrasive injectors move abrasives from a storage vessel to a nozzle, gun, head or wheel. The injection or metering system controls the amount of abrasive pushed into the air or water stream. In large systems, the delivery system and injection system may be separate components.
	Blast Wheel		Blast wheels propel and direct a wide stream of abrasives and a carrier (e.g., water, air) at the workpiece.
	Crank Drive		Powered by a crankshaft-driven plunger pump.
	Cutting Head		Cutting heads direct a stream of water or abrasives and a carrier (e.g., water, air) at the workpiece.
	Abrasive Jet Cutting Head		Abrasive jet cutting heads differ from waterjet cutting heads by the addition of an opening in the side of the nozzle that allows the introduction of abrasive material to the water stream.  Abrasive jet cutting heads are used for hard materials, such as tool steel, titanium, aluminum, stone, copper, glass, plastic, graphite, composites, brass and others.
	Waterjet Cutting Head		Waterjet cutting heads deliver a high-pressure stream of water. Waterjet cutting heads are best for soft materials when compared to abrasive jet cutting heads. Example materials include soft rubber, foam, carpet, paper and cardboard, gasket material, candy bars and other soft materials.
	Dust Collection / Filtration System		Dust collection or filtration systems remove fine particle sizes of abrasives, media and blasting waste (i.e., removed scale or stock in the form of dust or fine swarf) that would otherwise become suspended in the air.
	Gun / Lance		Guns or lances direct a stream of abrasives and carrier fluid or water through a nozzle at the workpiece.
	Hopper / Tank		Hoppers or tanks store dry abrasive grains, blasting media or abrasive-water slurry mixtures.
	Intensifier		Powered by a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder.
	Media Separator / Reclaimer		Media separators and reclaimers remove undersized abrasives or media and blasting coarse waste (i.e., removed scale or stock in the form of swarf).
	Pressure Generator		Pressure generators increase the pressure of the carrier fluid (e.g., water, air). Plunger-type intensifier pumps are commonly used to generate high-pressure water for water jet cutting, wet or water abrasive blasting, and non-abrasive pressure washing or rinsing. Crankshaft-driven plunger pumps are also used for pressure generation. These plunger pumps may be more efficient than intensifiers in terms of electrical energy costs, but at high pressures (>20,000 psi) the seals must be replaced periodically.  Crankshaft-driven plunger pumps also provide a virtually ripple-free pressure source when compared to intensifiers. An accumulator may be required to smooth out pressure fluctuations if an intensifier pump is used. In air-based blast or jet systems, air compressors are typically used to generate pressure.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized or proprietary component.
