Smaller abrasive blasting cabinets, light duty models, often use the less expensive shop vacuum to operate and create the negative pressure cabinet pressure required for all dry abrasive blasting cabinets. Media Blast offers two vacuum dust collectors that make a huge difference.
Most shop vacuums offer lots of space for lots of trash but they offer only a small filter for the collection of dust. The VAC-110 line of vacuum dust collectors offers 110 sq.ft. of certified cartridge filtration and not much room for the trash you might find on the garage floor!
Both units include a 100% welded CRS cabinet construction, a two stage vacuum blower moving over 100 cfm of air volume, lifting handles vacuum connection hose and the units also have a built in silencer to lower the operating noise level.
The VAC-110 Deluxe adds in a manually operated filter cleaning outside rapper assembly and a sliding dust removal drawer to allow cleaning without removing anything but the dust drawer.
These units don't cost much more than a plastic shop vacuum you find at any local hardware store, but they store lots of dust, have a huge dust storage filter for longer machine operation and many other features.
