(2) Abrasive wet blasting at up to 40,000 psi (2,800 bar) is no problem for NLB's Profiler™. It profiles a 4-inch (100mm) path at rates of up to 15 feet (5m) per minute, and leaves an excellent bonding surface for new coatings. The Profiler operates at flows of 3-6 gpm (11-23 lpm).
This innovative tool works with various abrasive media, to suit specific applications. The abrasive is fed to the nozzle from an abrasive feed hopper, through metering discs that restrict the flow to a predetermined rate. A typical flow is 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) per minute.
