Product Information

Full details

The Switzer dual tank blaster is designed for professional contractors and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a versatile solution for surface preparation and restoration. Its key benefit is the dual-tank architecture, which allows for seamless switching between media types, such as gentle soda for delicate surfaces and aggressive abrasives for heavy rust removal; however, users should note that maintaining the required constant air pressure is essential for consistent operation.

FAQs

Can I use sand in this blaster?

Yes, this unit is designed to handle various abrasive media, including sand, for heavy-duty stripping.

What is the maximum capacity of the tanks?

Each tank holds 40 lbs of media, providing a total capacity of 80 lbs.

Do I need a large industrial air compressor?

Not necessarily, as long as your compressor can maintain at least 5.5 CFM at 90 PSI.

Is soda blasting safe for all surfaces?

Soda blasting is generally gentle, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

How do I switch between the two tanks?

Use the integrated valves to control the air and media flow between the two tanks.

Troubleshooting

Media not flowing from the tank

Check the tank for moisture-induced clumping or ensure the nozzle is not clogged by debris.

Inconsistent blasting pressure

Verify that your air compressor meets the 5.5 CFM minimum requirement and check for leaks in the air supply hose.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient dual-tank design for quick media switching
  • Compatible with a wide array of blasting media types
  • Low air requirement of 5.5 CFM at 90 PSI
  • Generous 40 lb capacity per tank reduces refill frequency

Cons

  • Requires a consistent air compressor setup
  • Heavier unit when both tanks are fully loaded
  • Media selection is critical to avoid surface damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your blaster, connect the unit to a reliable air compressor providing at least 90 PSI. Verify that all hose connections are airtight before filling the tanks. When switching between media, ensure the pressure in the inactive tank is fully bled before engaging the transfer valves. For maintenance, regularly inspect the nozzles for wear and clear any residual media from the lines after each use. Store the unit in a dry, covered area to protect the tank interiors from moisture and corrosion.
