The EC-7-2 NELCO Porta Shot Blast machine has a 7 inch blast pattern. Shot is introduced through a feed spout and propelled to the surface via a centrifugal blast wheel powered by a 2HP electric motor. The shot and surface debris are vacuumed into an air wash system where the shot is separated for reuse. This unit continuously recycles shot while in operation. The debris is then collected in a vacuum drum. Dimensions of Tech Model (LxWxH): Not available Weight of Tech Model (lb.): 185 lb.
Shot is continuously recycled while the shot feed spout is open. Machine can be operated either forward or backward while blasting. Can be used on both concrete and metal surfaces. Blast media is relatively inexpensive. Operation is not labor intensive. Process is not independent on coating type.
Not effective for deep concrete removal. Should not be used in the vicinity of flammable liquids Does not work well on wet surfaces. Cannot be operated on an elevated position.
