Overview
The Pirate Brand® 6.5 cu ft Short-Cycle Stationary Electric Blast Pot is built for operators who demand fast cycling, reliable pressure retention, and consistent performance in high-frequency blasting environments.
Featuring the Short-Cycle System Saver, APV II metering valve, and Big Gun Full Flow System, this 12VDC electric model offers superior start/stop control, minimal downtime, and exceptional wear resistance for extended service life.
Ideal for blast rooms, industrial coating removal, and high-output abrasive blasting applications, this system maintains vessel pressure between cycles while providing quick depressurization on command for efficient refilling.
Short-Cycle System Advantage
Traditional pressure-release systems automatically vent between cycles, which can lead to overfilling during short-duration blasting.
The Short-Cycle System Saver eliminates this issue by keeping the blast pot pressurized until the palm-button blow-down is activated—preventing abrasive overflow, pop-up seal damage, and premature valve wear.
Key operational benefits include:
-
Maintains steady internal pressure for consistent performance.
-
Prevents abrasive “burping” and clogging issues.
-
Rapid blow-down and refill without leaving the blast room.
-
Improves component life and reduces maintenance downtime.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Short-Cycle Pressure Release System – Remains pressurized between blasts; depressurizes instantly when the palm-button is engaged.
-
12VDC Electric Controls – Ideal for long hose runs and cold-weather conditions; provides faster response times.
-
APV II Metering Valve (Tungsten Carbide Sleeve) – Premium abrasive flow control with quadruple-seal plunger design, solving jamming and carry-over problems.
-
Combination Valve System – Dual-action design that halts blasting and relieves vessel pressure simultaneously.
-
Big Gun Full Flow System – Zero-pressure-drop design that increases production by 1.5% per 1 PSI maintained.
-
Heavy-Duty 1-1/2″ Galvanized Piping – Resists corrosion for extended equipment life.
-
Big Gun Moisture Separator – Ensures clean, dry air flow for optimal media delivery.
-
Union End Ball Valve – Allows maintenance without dumping abrasive.
-
9″ Adjustable Spider – Keeps abrasive load balanced and ensures reliable pop-up sealing.
-
Skirted Pop-Up Gasket – Prevents abrasive leakage and enhances vessel sealing under load.
-
Full Load Lifting Eyes – Simplifies transportation, installation, and maintenance.
