The base plate is a separate job and not many people like the extra costs when they are built the sides tend to be 6mm and the base 10mm also if the steel isn't bobbing about in water mixing with oxygen it tends to last longer between service intervals than the sides 👍

Suction control valve stuck open? Maybe blocked fuel filter first thing to check. Base plate looks rather thin and likely also needs blasting otherwise nice job again.

Hello. What is better grit blasting or dry ice blasting? I suppose it will depend on the circumstances? Related to this kind of work I've seen water cutting through concrete, the compressor had a lorry engine to force water through a pin sized hole on the gun. And the two guys operating it were the only two in the UK certified to operate such an amazing piece of machinery this was in the early eighties though, they said it could cut a man in halve with ease, the gun did look like a German machine gun though. Amazing what this line of work offers, good alternative career change I'd think 🤔👍 *For the video!*

I don't believe dry ice has a massive work load or advantages over a standard pot yes it has a slot in the cleaning sector nut very limited as a soda blaster would work out a heck of a lot cheaper to buy and operate. Dry ice is good if its a very light clean that requires 0 media waste like cleaning food grade stuff in a factory that cannot be shut down but what's the chances of that job calling? In every other aspect a blaster can out perform and under cut a dry ice blaster. I've seen the vhp water jetters in action same again very nich line of work they do but invaluable to the right sector

This is air consumption for the nozzle only. any other air usage such as air fed hood, cool tube, vent at filters, etc ... had to added on top of nozzle usage. any wear on the orifice of the nozzle could upsize the demand.
