Moisture and oil in the compressed air stream used for blasting can cause many problems. Wet compressed air will result in clogged abrasive in the blasting pot resulting in the pot clogging up and having to be cleaned out. When using steel abrasives this is a major problem as the steel grit particles can rust together and form a solid block of steel.

Wet air also leads to contamination of the freshly blasted work surface. The moist air will create flash rusting in a very short time and lead to rejected surface preparation.

The alpha-blast Dryzablast range of compressed air treatment systems will produce clean, cool and dry air suitable for blasting with minimal pressure loss through the system. A variety of driers and filters are available depending on the application and amount of moisture needing to be removed.
