Overview
The Pirate Brand® 8.0 cu ft Stationary Dual-Chamber Blast Pot is engineered for continuous industrial blasting, combining dual-chamber pressure hold technology with a single-outlet Big Gun Full Flow System. This configuration enables uninterrupted blasting—allowing the upper chamber to refill while the lower chamber remains pressurized—eliminating downtime for maximum productivity.
Built for heavy-duty use in blast rooms, shipyards, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance operations, this system offers consistent performance, corrosion-resistant construction, and superior air and abrasive flow for high-efficiency blasting.
Continuous Operation Dual-Chamber System
Unlike traditional single-chamber blast pots that must be depressurized for refilling, the dual-chamber design allows the upper chamber to recharge abrasive media while the lower chamber continues to operate under pressure.
This innovative setup ensures a constant workflow and reduces overall blasting time, ideal for high-output industrial operations.
Advantages include:
-
Continuous blasting with no refilling downtime.
-
Higher production output with consistent media flow.
-
Increased equipment longevity through reduced cycling stress.
-
Reliable performance under demanding shop and field conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
-
8.0 cu ft Dual-Chamber Capacity – 3.25 cu ft upper chamber and 4.19 cu ft lower chamber (6.73 cu ft usable total).
-
Pneumatic Pressure Hold System – Maintains steady operating pressure for continuous performance.
-
Big Gun Full Flow System – Zero-pressure-drop design maximizes abrasive and air efficiency (1 PSI = 1.5% production gain).
-
APV II Metering Valve (Tungsten Carbide Sleeve) – Quadruple-seal plunger design eliminates carry-over and jamming while ensuring precision abrasive control.
-
Combination Valve Integration – Dual-function system responsible for top-chamber cycling in dual-chamber operations.
-
NEMA 4 Rated Control Enclosure – Protects dual-chamber cycle controls from dust and moisture exposure.
-
2″ Air Inlet / 1-1/2″ Piping – Galvanized steel piping for corrosion resistance and full flow.
-
Full Port Ball Valves – Heavy-duty construction with union ends for maintenance access.
-
15′ Blowdown Hose Assembly – Remote mounting for convenience and safety.
-
9″ Adjustable Spider – Supports proper sealing and flow with multiple abrasive media types.
-
Skirted Pop-Up Gasket – Ensures tight sealing to prevent abrasive leakage or “burping.”
-
Full Load Lifting Eyes – Simplifies vessel handling and transport for placement and servicing.
