Nordblast SD 12 vacuum sandblaster with dust separator is an extremely reliable and versatile machine, designed for sandblasting applications in various sectors. We are talking about a very little used machine, purchased in August 2021, and in excellent condition, perfect for those looking for a machine that has already been run in but is still highly performing. The owner's change of business makes this sandblaster a unique opportunity for those looking for a great deal. The Nordblast SD 12 is ideal for those who want to obtain quality results without having to invest in a new system.
The Nordblast SD 12 presents itself as a robust, compact and well-designed system. From an aesthetic point of view, the machine has a functional design, with a structure that optimizes space, allowing it to work efficiently even in workshops with limited space. The internal dimensions of the sandblasting chamber are 113 cm in length, 96 cm in depth and a variable height from 48 to 85 cm , offering sufficient capacity to treat a wide range of pieces.
The tungsten carbide nozzles ( 8 mm² and 10 mm²) are practically new, an important feature as they guarantee greater durability and high resistance to wear, a crucial element in an abrasive process such as sandblasting. The system is also equipped with an effective dust separator , which collects spent material and ensures a cleaner working environment, as well as extending the useful life of the system. The output material regulation system , controlled by a simple tap, allows you to precisely manage the abrasive flow, optimizing consumption and reducing waste.
This sandblaster requires a compressor of at least 15 kW , a standard power that guarantees optimal system efficiency. The machine operates under vacuum, which means that the abrasive is sucked in and shot onto the surface to be treated, ensuring better control and less material waste compared to traditional pressure systems. This type of setup is ideal for more delicate and precision finishing work.
Operation of the Nordblast SD 12 is simple and intuitive. After loading the piece to be sandblasted into the chamber, the operator regulates the flow of abrasive via the control tap. The vacuum system sucks the abrasive and directs it onto the nozzles, which shoot the material onto the surface to be treated. The separator then collects the exhausted dust, keeping the working environment clean and safe.
To achieve optimal results, it is important to correctly calculate the blasting speed. You can apply a basic formula like:
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.
One of the best features of the Nordblast SD 12 is its ease of maintenance. Tungsten carbide nozzles require little maintenance due to their high wear resistance. The dust separation system must be emptied and cleaned periodically to avoid blockages which could reduce the effectiveness of the machine. It is recommended that hoses and fittings are also checked regularly to ensure there are no air or abrasive leaks.
Being a recent machine (purchased in 2021), the Nordblast SD 12 complies with all the most current safety regulations. However, if the machine was not CE , it would still be possible to adapt it to current regulations with some simple modifications, such as the installation of additional safety systems or the improvement of operator protection.
The Nordblast SD 12 sandblaster is particularly suitable for finishing work in sectors such as precision mechanics, automotive, furniture and construction, where sandblasting of metal or glass surfaces requires precision and quality. Being a machine used very little, it represents an extraordinary opportunity for those who want to save without sacrificing quality. Buying used is always a winning choice when it comes to well-maintained machines, as it allows you to obtain high performance at a low cost.
