SANDBLASTING IN SEALED MANUAL CABINETS
When it comes to sandblasting, there are 2 main ways to proceed. Outdoors with lost abrasive or in a hermetically sealed system.
This second solution allows for clean, dust-free and pollution-free sandblasting outside the system. This means of sanding also makes it possible to recycle the abrasive and to project the same grain several times until it turns into dust. These machines are most often referred to as sandblasting sealed cabinets with gloves for manual treatments .
Sealed cabinets are one of the most well-known alternatives for sandblasting treatment.
Extremely versatile, they can be suitable for occasional application or used more intensively.
The term bag blasting cabinets can refer to a simple and economical cabinet as well as a machine benefiting from several cyclones, optimized abrasive recycling and dust sorting.
Indeed, the main advantage of this sandblasting process is the continuous sorting and recycling of the abrasive. As the blasting media is projected, it is sorted to either be removed from the system for later emptying or sent to the filter cartridge. If the abrasive grain is intact, it will be re-projected onto the workpiece.
Aesthetically similar, standard glove box sandblasting machines can operate differently. There are cabinets that suction the sand and project it via a venturi gun—these machines are called suction (or vacuum) machines. This simple and affordable system is suitable for most applications.
In contrast, pressure machines project the abrasive using the pressure accumulated in the tank containing the sand. These machines require more complex manufacturing but deliver 2 to 3 times the power and efficiency of suction cabinets.
The versatility of the cabinets also lies in their dimensional flexibility. In our workshop in Marquette-lez-Lille, we manufacture machines ranging from 600 mm to 1500 mm wide! In fact, our largest standard cabinet measures 1.5 meters in both width and depth. Each range offers a variety of dimensions available for each model, depending on the size of the parts to be processed. These multiple widths allow for maximum part processing based on needs without unnecessarily cluttering the workspace.

Standard glove box sandblasting cabinets are therefore effective for all sandblasting tasks involving parts that do not exceed a certain size. They are recommended for a wide range of sandblasting jobs and are used in various fields such as industry (automotive, rail, mechanical...), healthcare, construction, and more.
