Overview

The Portable 6.5 cu ft E-Series Pneumatic Blast Pot – Manual Pinch Valve Model delivers industrial-grade performance for large-scale abrasive blasting and surface-preparation projects.
Built with a Pressure Release System, it automatically depressurizes the vessel when the control handle is released—streamlining maintenance and boosting reliability in high-demand environments.

Outfitted with a Manual Pinch Valve featuring the X-TREME DUTY™ Metering Tube, this unit ensures smooth, consistent abrasive flow and long-term wear resistance.
The 1-1/4″ galvanized piping system and heavy-duty moisture separator provide clean air delivery and corrosion protection for sustained field performance.

⚙️ Note: Not for use with steel grit (pneumatic control handle can jam). For steel abrasives, use the electric control version.
