Overview

The Pirate Brand® 6.5 cu ft Stationary Electric Short-Cycle Blast Pot delivers efficient, high-frequency blasting performance with faster on-off cycling and minimal downtime. Featuring the Short-Cycle System Saver, APV II metering valve with tungsten carbide sleeve, and Big Gun Full Flow System, this 12VDC model provides superior control, reduced wear, and consistent blasting power for industrial applications.

Built for blast rooms, maintenance shops, and production environments, this configuration allows operators to maintain vessel pressure between cycles, providing smooth operation, consistent pressure, and easy refilling via remote blow-down control.

Short-Cycle System Saver Advantage

Standard pressure-release systems depressurize automatically when the control handle is released, which can cause overfilling during short bursts of operation. The Short-Cycle System Saver keeps the blast pot pressurized between cycles—eliminating pop-up damage, reducing abrasive waste, and maintaining efficiency.

Key Benefits:

• Keeps the vessel pressurized during idle periods.

• Depressurizes instantly when the palm-button is activated.

• Prevents abrasive “burping” and pop-up seal damage.

• Allows quick refilling without leaving the blast area.

• Reduces maintenance downtime and increases reliability.

Features & Benefits

• Short-Cycle Pressure Release System – Remains pressurized until palm-button control is used to depressurize; perfect for frequent short-blast cycles.

• 12VDC Electric Controls – Ensures fast, precise operation with long control cable reach and cold-weather reliability.

• APV II Metering Valve (Tungsten Carbide Sleeve) – Precision-engineered plunger valve provides consistent abrasive flow and long-lasting wear resistance.

• Combination Valve Design – Dual-function system halts air blasting and relieves vessel pressure simultaneously when activated.

• Big Gun Full Flow System – Zero-pressure-drop design boosts production by up to 1.5% per PSI gained; ideal for #7 and #8 nozzles.

• Heavy-Duty 1-1/2″ Galvanized Piping – Corrosion-resistant construction for maximum durability.

• Big Gun Moisture Separator – Ensures clean, dry air flow for consistent media performance.

• Union End Ball Valve – Enables maintenance access without emptying the entire vessel.

• 15′ Blowdown Hose Assembly – Remote-mounted for convenient and safe operation.

• 9″ Adjustable Spider – Balances abrasive flow and supports various media types and sizes.

• Skirted Pop-Up Gasket – Provides a tight seal to prevent abrasive leaks and burping.

• Full Load Lifting Eyes – Allow easy and safe handling, lifting, and transport of the vessel.
