The Nordblast SD 12 vacuum sandblaster with dust separator is an extremely reliable and versatile machine, designed for sandblasting applications in various sectors. This machine, purchased in August 2021, has been used very little and is in excellent condition, making it perfect for those seeking a well-tested yet high-performance machine. The change in ownership makes this sandblaster a unique opportunity for those seeking a great deal. The Nordblast SD 12 is ideal for those seeking quality results without having to invest in a new system.
The Nordblast SD 12 is a robust, compact, and well-designed system. Aesthetically, the machine has a functional design, with a space-efficient structure, allowing for efficient operation even in small workshops. The internal dimensions of the sandblasting chamber are 113 cm long, 96 cm deep, and variable in height from 48 to 85 cm , providing sufficient capacity to treat a wide range of workpieces.
The tungsten carbide nozzles ( 8 mm² and 10 mm²) are virtually new, an important feature as they ensure longer life and high wear resistance, a crucial element in an abrasive process like sandblasting. The system is also equipped with an effective dust separator , which collects spent material and ensures a cleaner work environment, as well as extending the useful life of the system. The output material regulation system , controlled by a simple tap, allows for precise management of the abrasive flow, optimizing consumption and reducing waste.
This sandblaster requires a compressor of at least 15 kW , a standard power rating that ensures optimal system efficiency. The machine operates under vacuum, which means the abrasive is sucked in and blasted onto the surface being treated, ensuring better control and less material waste than traditional pressure systems. This type of setup is ideal for more delicate and precise finishing jobs.
The Nordblast SD 12 is simple and intuitive to operate. After loading the workpiece to be blasted into the chamber, the operator adjusts the flow of abrasive using the control valve. The vacuum system sucks in the abrasive and directs it to the nozzles, which spray the material onto the surface being treated. The separator then collects the spent powder, keeping the work environment clean and safe.
To achieve optimal results, it's important to correctly calculate the sandblasting speed. A basic formula can be applied, such as:
Vs=P⋅AFV_s = \frac{P \cdot A}{F}
where VsV_s is PP is the operating pressure (adjustable by the compressor), AA is the area of the piece to be treated and FF represents the size of the nozzles.
Nordblast SD 12 's best features is its ease of maintenance. The tungsten carbide nozzles require little maintenance due to their high wear resistance. The dust separation system should be emptied and cleaned periodically to prevent blockages that could reduce the machine's effectiveness. Regular inspection of hoses and fittings is also recommended to ensure there are no air leaks or abrasives.
Being a recent machine (purchased in 2021), the Nordblast SD 12 complies with all current safety regulations. However, if the machine is not CE , it would still be possible to adapt it to current regulations with a few simple modifications, such as installing additional safety systems or improving operator protection.
The Nordblast SD 12 sandblaster is particularly suitable for finishing jobs in sectors such as precision mechanics, automotive, furniture, and construction, where sandblasting metal or glass surfaces requires precision and quality. Being a rarely used machine, it represents an extraordinary opportunity for those who want to save money without sacrificing quality. Buying used is always a winning choice when it comes to well-maintained machines, as it allows for high performance at a reduced cost.
