Zhermack has introduced its Dune EcoTech microsandblasting system, which the company said ensures minimum sand consumption and reduces oxide and microsphere supply costs due to its sand recirculation system, calibrated dosing and blasting nozzles, and instant flow shut-off valves.
Features of the system include dust suction through a double connection that is effective from either side of the machine, as well as flow shut-off valves and calibrated nozzles that interrupt sand flow when the unit pedal is released. The system's recirculating function reprocesses the abrasive materials for roughening procedures and lining removals. The majority of the remaining sand is recycled and reused.
Each EcoTech is equipped with a built-in reserve air tank and has a large-capacity plastic chamber (more than 25 L). Adjustable LED lighting has an interchangeable protective film that protects the light source from accidental abrasion during blasting and ensures longevity of the bulbs. The protective film is also applied to the EcoTech's viewing hatch, which helps maintain the exterior condition and good user visibility.
Modular, large-size tanks (1000 cc) with level indicator and vent valves reduce filling times and allow air pressure to be released quickly and safely. The EcoTech is available in either a two- or three-tank design, and each unit carries a two-year warranty, the company said.
