Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a dustless blasting machine and how does it work?

A dustless blasting machine combines abrasive media, water, and compressed air to clean surfaces with significantly less dust. The pressurised mixture creates a slurry that exits the nozzle at high velocity. The water suppresses dust, cools the surface, and reduces abrasive impact, leading to safer operation, cleaner results, and reduced cleanup. RapidBlast™ systems offer excellent control over pressure and media consumption, allowing efficient blasting with lower air requirements than traditional dry blasting.

2) How does RapidBlast™ wet blasting differ from traditional dry blasting?

Dry blasting creates significant dust, static charge, and surface heating, which can lead to warping and more extensive containment requirements. RapidBlast™ systems use a wet mix of water and media, drastically reducing dust, friction heat, and airborne contamination. It’s gentler on delicate substrates, minimises abrasive rebound, and reduces overall material use. It also supports multi-media operation with most abrasives heavier than water.

3) What are the advantages of using a RapidBlast™ dustless blaster?
  • Virtually dust-free operation for improved visibility and safety
  • 30–50% reduction in abrasive media use
  • Cooler blasting prevents distortion of metals
  • Faster clean-up and less containment required
  • 95% dust suppression – environmentally safer
  • Compatible with garnet, soda, crushed glass, glass bead, and more
  • Designed and manufactured in Australia to withstand tough jobsite conditions
4) Which RapidBlast™ models are available?
  • SD80 – 90-litre pot, compact and ideal for mobile use and medium-duty tasks
  • SD140 – 155-litre pot, suited for industrial-grade applications with longer run-time
  • High Flow (HF) – Designed for continuous blasting, mining, and large infrastructure maintenance

Each system supports multiple abrasives and delivers consistent performance in harsh environments.

5) Can RapidBlast™ be used for rust and paint removal?

Absolutely. RapidBlast™ units are highly effective for:

  • Rust, paint, scale, and coating removal
  • Suitable for metal, concrete, timber, fiberglass, brick, and stone
  • Won’t overheat surfaces — safe for use in restoration, automotive, marine, and heritage work
6) What industries commonly use RapidBlast™ wet blasting equipment?
  • Mining & Resources – conveyor frames, chutes, plant maintenance
  • Marine & Shipyards – hull cleaning, antifoul removal
  • Automotive & Panels – rust and paint stripping
  • Infrastructure & Concrete – graffiti removal, concrete prep
  • Oil & Gas – pipeline and storage tank maintenance
  • Heritage & Restoration – gentle cleaning of historic substrates
7) How does dustless blasting improve safety and environmental compliance?
  • Greatly reduces silica exposure and air contamination
  • Meets many EPA, OH&S, and site safety requirements
  • Improves visibility and reduces site hazards
  • Captures lead paint, rust, and contaminants in slurry form
  • Helps avoid fines and shutdowns due to dust emissions
8) What is the difference between SD80 and SD140 models?
Model Capacity Ideal For Key Benefits
SD80 90L Small contractors, mobile work Lightweight, compact, fast setup
SD140 155L Industrial use, longer runs Higher throughput, fewer refills
9) What is included in the RapidBlast™ contractor packages?
  • RapidBlast™ dustless blasting pot (model of choice)
  • #7 boron carbide nozzle and 20m blast hose
  • Air compressor (185–400 cfm options)
  • 450L water tank
  • Australian-made trailer
  • Hose reels (blast and water)
  • Pneumatic diaphragm pump
  • Operator PPE: helmet, suit, gloves, respirator
  • Optional: Dry blasting kit, Air prep unit, Paint spray setup

These are plug-and-play solutions — perfect for contractors who need fast deployment.
