COMPANY STORYIndustrial Vacuum Equipment Corp has been building high powered Industrial Vacuum Systems and Dust Collectors for over 20 years. The Hurricane Vacuum and the Cyclone Series Dust Collectors have been the industry standard for the abrasive blasting industry. From our 75,000 square foot state of the art manufacturing facility, featured on the History Channels Modern Marvels, we manufacture American Made Midwestern built Vacuums & Dust Collectors to handle your toughest assignments. Companies like Bath Iron Works, Northrop Grumman, and the US Navy have trusted us with supplying them with the best built Vacuums and Dust Collectors available. With diesel or electric options available in trailer and skid mounted configurations we have a vacuum or dust collector to best suit your needs. If one of our current models isn’t exactly what you’re looking for we can custom build a system that will fit your exact requirements. The abrasive blasting industry requires vacuums that can handle years of abuse and abrasion. The Hurricane Vacuums are built to withstand these conditions with minimal maintenance.

The engineers and designers at Industrial Vacuum spent a year developing and testing the Hurricane “Quiet Cube”. The goal was to build a vacuum that created a minimum of 2350 CFM, 27” inches of mercury and when fully blocked off (27” of mercury) created no more than 84 Dba at 1- meter from anywhere around the vacuum. They also wanted a small footprint because space in the dry dock is always an issue. Industrial Vacuum Equipment Corp not only met the criteria but exceeded their expectations. The “Quiet Cube” models have now become the shipyard industries preferred vacuum system. Even a shipyard, or other company not near a residential neighborhood, can benefit from a quiet vacuum. The quieter a work or production area the safer this area becomes. The Hurricane “Quiet Cube” is now available in 4 different sizes: 100HP, 150HP, 200HP, and 250HP. Check us out at www.industrialvacuum.com. For more information on any of our Hurricane Vacuums please contact us at info@industrialvacuum or call us at 800-331-4832.

Our Cyclone Dust Collectors are also built with the same philosophy. Built to withstand the dustiest environments, the harshest conditions and with a filtration system with the lowest air to cloth ratio in the industry. The Cyclone Series stands above the competition. A great way to try our products is to rent one from one of our 10 nationwide rental locations. Rent purchase options are available on many of our models of Hurricane Vacuums or Cyclone Dust Collectors. For more information on our products check us out at www.industrialvacuum.com or call us at 800-331-4832

PRODUCT STORYWhen an East Coast Naval yard contacted Industrial Vacuum to come up with a high powered yet quiet Vacuum System, The Hurricane “Quiet Cube” was born. The shipyard is very near a residential neighborhood and would routinely get noise complaints from their neighbors. The source of the noise was the vacuum system’s being used in the yard to recover abrasive blast media from inside the submarines. This is a very important process that needs to be performed by very powerful vacuums. The problem was in the past no company built a quiet yet powerful vacuum.

COMPANY For over ten years, Montipower, Inc. has been a provider of innovative surface preparation tools. As the importer and master distributor for the Bristle Blaster and a variety of other specialized products, we maintain an extensive inventory of tools, consumables and spare parts, enabling us to always ship same-day to our customers and distribution network throughout the United States and Canada. Montipower is proud to offer on-site training, repair services and product expertise to enable our customers to use our products to get their work done in a timely and efficient manner. All tools are sold with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a comprehensive warranty. The Bristle Blaster and other MBX products are manufactured by Monti Werkzeuge Gmbh, an ISO 9001 certified company located in Bonn, Germany.

PRODUCTThe Bristle Blaster, introduced in 2007, offers a unique surface preparation solution when a blast-quality finish is required, but abrasive blasting is not feasible, economical, or, is prohibited. The Bristle Blasting process enables users to remove coatings, corrosion and scale while simultaneously generating an anchor profile, all with a power hand tool. The tool features a wire bristle “belt” dynamically tuned to a drive unit operating at approximately 3,000 rpm, and is designed to allow the bristle tips to strike the corroded surface with the same kinetic energy as traditional grit blast media. Both testing and in-field performance prove that Bristle Blasting can deliver a level of surface preparation on par with abrasive blasting. Corroded/pitted steel surfaces can be restored to a near-white or white metal appearance and an anchor profile of 2.6 to 3.3 mil is routinely obtained on standard API 5L steel. The production rate for Bristle Blasting is approximately 15 sq. ft per hour. Bristle Blasting will deliver the equivalent of an SSPC-SP-10/NACE No. 2 blast clean. The Bristle Blaster offers significant advantages over other power tool cleaning methods. Light-weight,

hand-held power tools (pneumatic and electric) enable users to economically generate a blast-quality clean without the need for complex equipment, media recovery apparatus, and extensive safety precautions. Excellent mobility and “eco-friendly” operation deliver performance in almost every environment. The Bristle Blaster is ideally suited for spot repairs, touch-ups and weld cleaning operations. However, it can

also be readily applied to larger surface areas where blasting is prohibited. The Bristle Blaster has been succcesfully and extensively used for use on pipelines, refineries, bridge refurbishment, marine fabrication and repair, and other industrial maintenance applications.

Schmidt® equipment leads the abrasive blasting industry in safety, reliability, and performance. We design, engineer, and manufacture

a full line of high performance abrasive airblasting equipment that includes portable blasters, bulk blasters, blast-and-recovery systems, abrasive metering valves and controls, compressed air treatment units and specialized blasting systems. Custom designed systems are available to meet particular customer requirements and we pride ourselves on working with our customers to meet their specific needs. Since the brand’s inception more than 40 years ago, Schmidt continues to pioneer new techniques and technology to keep customers as productive as possible while maximizing safety. Innovation for the abrasive blasting industry is our hallmark.   Schmidt equipment enables higher productivity by allowing maximum energy to reach the work site from the

compressor. With a Schmidt system, more than 98% on average of the starting air pressure reaches the blast hose. Other blasting systems can lose 15% or more of the compressor’s energy. This reduces productivity and will require longer blast time and 20% or more abrasive to accomplish the same amount of work. Schmidt’s high level of performance is based on our abrasive metering valves and controls. Our engineering and manufacturing capa-bilities have created the finest quality, most effective abrasive metering valves and controls in the world. Designed for durability and peak performance in any environment, Schmidt valves and controls give operatorsmaximum comfort and control their blasting operation. They allow precise metering of abrasive for superior cost savings, combined with unsurpassed safety and reliability. As the industry’s recognized leader, Schmidt valves and controls are often imitated, but never replicated.

THE THOMPSON VALVE II XLSchmidt’s latest innovation, the Thompson Valve II XL® (TVII XL), is engineered for maximum life in the harshest applications, performing best when used with the most aggressive

abrasives such as aluminum oxide and steel grit. No other valve offers the performance and durability of the TVII XL. Tests confirm that service life is extended up to five times for dramatically minimized down time, all while maintaining the Schmidt standard

of precision abrasive metering the Thompson Valve line is renowned for. With its ergonomic improvements, the TVII XL offers straight-forward, simple operation and easy maintenance. It is the most advanced abrasive metering valve on the market.

ROBOTIC BLASTING & PAINTINGRBW Enterprises is continuously working to meet the needs of our customers. To better serve those needs, we are introducing a new product line, the FasterPainter. The FasterPainter is an automated painting system that can be used for both spray and roller applications. The system is operated using the same hand-held remote control that is used to run our FasterBlaster. The operator can run the automated painting system safely from the ground, eliminating costly man lifts and scaffolding. Guide cables keep the FasterPainter the proper distance from the tank so there is no contact with the wall. The hoist fixture

rides on the tank roof and is operated by the hand-held remote, giving the operator full control of the painter’s movement and speed in all directions. The FasterPainter is furnished with a spray nozzle and roller attachment. The customer has the option of purchasing a pressure paint pump or utilizing their existing unit. When using the FasterBlaster and FasterPainter systems, blasting and painting can be conducted simultaneously. Blowdown is not required prior to painting since the FasterBlaster’s high-vacuum system leaves the surface virtually dust free. With these new robotic operating systems, the

operator remains safely on the ground and since there are no emissions, containment is not required. For Robotic Blasting and Painting equipment, please give us a call. We look forward to answering any questions you might have regarding our equipment and its use in your applications. Come see us at SSPC 2017, Booth 638, in Tampa, FL.

COMPANYIn the rolling hills of North Dakota, success is determined by how you use natural resources that surround you. In 1990, Abrasives Incorporated began as a sand company mining material from a nearby pit. The cleaned and graded material was delivered to industrial distributors throughout the Midwest. Dakota GoldTM, as it was aptly named, also provided golf courses a durable top dressing material resistant to weathering and freezing. A decade passed and in 2001 another natural opportunity came courtesy of local resources. Coal slag from neighboring lignite coal fired electrical generation plants provided a new product that was, and is, useful to the surface preparation and coatings industry. By hauling the by-product away from power plants, Abrasives Inc. recycle waste material and turns it into a highly effective and low dusting blasting material. By washing, screening and processing the slag, Abrasives Inc. is able to manufacture multiple

grades of Black Magic®, also known as “The Tough Stuff” for its hardness and superior cleaning performance. Located on rail and with easy access to interstate roadways, Abrasives Inc. utilizes multiple methods of delivery throughout the United States and Canada. Quick order turnaround and partnerships with over 100 trucking companies get Abrasives Inc.’s product where you need it, when you need it. Twenty-six years later, Abrasives Inc. has become an employee owned company and continues to focus on natural resources and supplying what their customers want. Abrasives Inc. now has two locations: Glen Ullin, ND and Minneapolis, MN, as well as distributors in 13 states.

PRODUCTBlack Magic® coal slag is made up of hard, angular particles that are a consistent size and weight. Because of this, it is fast cleaning and provides an excellent profile for coating adhesion.

Available in multiple grades, the medium (16-40) and fine (20-40) slag products are typically most useful in surface preparation and marine coatings industries to achieve the proper profile needed. Packaging is conveniently sized and can be delivered in 25, 50 or 80 lb paper bags, jumbo cells, or bulk. A satisfied Midwest customer had this to say about Black Magic® “We have used other products, but I get feedback from employees that they prefer working with Abrasives’ product. It is better, cuts better and it’s not as dusty.” Black Magic® is CARB and QPL approved.

THE GREENER ALTERNATIVE FOR BLAST CLEANINGGreen Lightning® blast cleaning abrasives are produced from Norwegian olivine, a naturally occurring mineral composed of forsterite and fayalite and free from crystalline quartz. The hardness, angular grain shape and specific gravity of Green Lightning® make it a cost-effective alternative for almost every surface preparation application. The absence of chloride ions and corrosive salts virtually eliminate conductivity and flashback rusting to produce surfaces in accordance with the highest industry standards. Green Lightning® olivine is also ideal for high speed water jet cutting. All grades are mined, processed, and screened with rigid adherence to ISO 9001-2008 quality assurance programs. Consistently uniform size distributions

and chemistries guarantee repeatable surface profiles and cleanliness. Apart from Green Lightning®, we offer a complete range of blast cleaning abrasives for surface preparation as well as minerals for high pressure waterjet cutting, including:

• expendable abrasives such as Eurogrit coal slag grit (aluminium silicate abrasive), Euroram copper slag grit (iron silicate abrasive) and Green Lightning® olivine abrasive

“ARMEX for when Non-Destructive Cleaning is Critical

Select our Reader e-Card at paintsquare.com/ric

COMPANYARMEX the Original Baking Soda Abrasive, Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) abrasive blasting originated back in the 1980’s during the restoration project of the Statue of Liberty. During the planning of the project, Church & Dwight Co., Inc. maker of ARM & HAMMER™ baking soda was contacted by the engineers looking for a way to remove the final two interior layers of coal tar epoxy coatings without damaging Lady Liberty’s delicate copper skin. Through trial and error the engineers tested many different blasting abrasives and discovered that Sodium Bicarbonate had extraordinary cleaning and coating removal properties all while not causing any surface damage. Following this success, Church & Dwight Co., Inc. launched the first Sodium Bicarbonate blasting abrasive, ARMEX.

PRODUCTWhen cleaning substrates and/or surfaces that cannot be damaged or the job requirements do not specify adding a profile the only blasting abrasive to use is ARMEX. Other blasting abrasives can remove layers from substrates and surfaces causing permanent damage and changing the specifications along with the surface tolerances of what is being cleaned. The gentle physical propriety of baking soda but yet aggressive cleaning ability is what makes ARMEX the only choice. ARMEX is also environmentally-friendly and water soluble. After a freshwater rinse ARMEX will never leave blasting particles behind, preventing surface contamination when it’s time to repaint. Use ARMEX to clean, remove paint, and degrease a wide variety of substrates including steel, lead, aluminum, alloys, plastics, rubbers, composites and masonry materials. Not all Sodium Bicarbonates are the same. ARMEX eleven formulations

are unique and distinct from other Sodium Bicarbonate blasting abrasives. Sodium Bicarbonate comes in different grades of material which affects product quality and consistency. ARMEX formulations are manufactured in a consistent process and controlled environment using the highest grade of Sodium Bicarbonate available. This is what makes ARMEX the most

consistent and highest quality Sodium Bicarbonate on the market. ARMEX Sodium Bicarbonate comes in different granule sizes ranging from 70 to 270 microns. The micron size will determine the degree of aggressiveness of cleaning with 270 microns providing the highest/extreme level of cleaning and 70 microns for more light/delicate cleaning.

COMPANYThe developers of HoldTight® were involved in building and marketing an early version of wet abrasive blasting equipment. They had to solve a major problem: blasting with water and abrasive results in instant flash rust.

PRODUCTHoldTight® is a wet and dustless blasting additive that decreases the water’s surface tension, allowing it to get into the pores of the surface and remove ALL contaminants, including salts, acids, abrasives, light oils, and greases. It can be used in the blasting cycle or the wash-down cycle after abrasive blasting.

HoldTight® leaves behind zero unwanted residue and evaporates with the water, providing a surface that is thoroughly clean and ready for a tightly adhered coating bond for up to 72 hours without flash rust. Unlike “rust inhibitors,” which remove salts by leaving other salts behind, HoldTight® 102 removes all salts, leaving just a clean surface. The New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDoT) researchers concluded that HoldTight®102 will effectively achieve zero or undetectable salt levels. HoldTight® is safe for the environment, biodegradable, and effective on a wide variety of surfaces, delivering superior surface preparation, with proven results on land, at sea, on storage tanks, on bridges, on oil rigs, concrete, and even for specialty projects like restoring vintage cars.

Rust inhibitors were and are “film-forming,” interfering with coating adhesion. Their solution: clean the surface so well—removing all hygroscopic contaminants—that flash rust would be postponed for several days. The result: HoldTight® 102. Wet blasting and HoldTight® have been valuable partners ever since.

COMPANYWhen Graco began investigating the blasting market, the equipment seemed like the perfect fit with the company’s history of moving, measuring, mixing, controlling, dispensing and spraying a wide variety of materials. After carefully researching the pros and cons of both dry blasting and methods of

wet abrasive blasting, Graco acquired two companies that could set a new standard in the industry.

PRODUCTGraco engineers were able to bring the technologies from both companies together to create the EcoQuip 2, a vapor abrasive blasting system that

is often faster than dry blasting and, in many cases, easier to use and more reliable in the field than its predecessors. The vapor abrasive blasting method gives the operator more control over the water/abrasive mixture, which often results in a reduced amount of media expended. It uses far less water than other methods; normally 0.5 to 1 quart of water per minute. It also reduces dust by up to 92% over traditional dry blasting which means less containment and clean-up. How does it work? Water and abrasive are combined in a pot under water pressure and then precisely metered into the airflow. When wet abrasive impacts a surface, the additional water weighs the particles down and creates a “dustless” effect. Since EcoQuip 2 uses less water than slurry or other water-based technologies, pools of water aren’t left behind so there is less need to worry about toxic runoff.

COMPANYSurface Preparation, a typically “old school” industry, set in its ways, unwavering, and unwilling to change. However, Greener Blast Technologies, Inc. (GBT) with its high performance slurrysystem strives daily to revolutionize traditional blasting methods. Through

years of testing, it has been determined that the mixture of abrasives and H2O has countless benefits that make an otherwise unpleasant job far more tolerable. Some of these benefits include minimal abrasive use, safety, and ease of operation. All of which result in larger profits, the driving force behind a successful business.

PRODUCTThe GBT Ultra Symmetrical Slurry Blasting system allows for maximum production at only a fraction of the cost of alternative methods. Using only a small portion of the abrasive consumed by traditional blasting systems, jobs can be done in a much more cost effective manner. The environmental impact of sandblasting is undeniable. By using only a fraction of the consumable, disposal of contaminated waste can be reduced significantly. Often times, operators will find they are using between

100-150 Lbs. of abrasive per nozzle, per hour. Simple economics... when costs decrease, profits increase! Safety is a critical part of anyblasting operation. GBT’s equipment maximizes safety. As a result of particulateoptimization, this unit is capable of blasting at a wide variety of pressures. This range encompasses pressures as low as 30 psi, and upwards of 120 psi. This range of pressures allows for the use of only what is needed to complete the job. This, in turn, makes wear and tear on the nozzle holder far less strenuous. By making operator’s workload far less demanding, one is able to optimize production during every shift. With less down time, again profits increase! The benefits of this system are nearly endless. After years of operating blasting equipment, Greener Blast was developed to manufacture equipment that would fix the most obvious flaws the blasting industry has been dealing with for years. The Greener Blast unit is the real deal, it gets almost any job done with one stand alone unit. Stay tuned for the exciting equipment unveils in 2017!
