Choosing the Right IBIX Low-Pressure Blasting Machines

IBIX low-pressure blast machines are designed for applications in which blasting pressure, abrasive flow rate, and surface treatment must be precisely coordinated. The current product line includes units with capacities of 3, 9, 25, 40, and 60 liters. The operating pressure range of 0.2 to 7.5 bar allows for both very gentle cleaning operations and more powerful coating removal and surface roughening tasks.

Boiler size and scope of work

Small units such as the IBIX 3 or IBIX 9 are particularly portable and are suitable for spot work, restoration, and applications requiring a relatively small amount of blasting media. Larger tanks such as the IBIX 25, 40, or 60 reduce the need for refills and are more cost-effective for longer work sessions.

Working Pressure and Blasting Effect

The low, adjustable operating pressure is a key advantage of the IBIX systems. Sensitive surfaces can be treated with low energy, while the pressure can be increased for more robust surfaces. It is not just the pressure alone that is decisive, but the interplay of the nozzle, abrasive media, distance, angle, and compressor power ratings.

Consider the compressor and nozzle together

Actual air consumption is largely determined by the nozzle bore diameter and blast pressure. A larger air receiver therefore does not automatically mean higher air consumption. To maintain a stable working pressure, the compressor must provide the required flow rate with sufficient reserve capacity.

FAQ

What distinguishes an IBIX low-pressure blasting machine from a traditional high-pressure blast machine?
IBIX systems enable a particularly finely adjustable operating mode even at very low blasting pressures, making them particularly suitable for sensitive surfaces.

Which IBIX device is best suited for long-duration operations?
For longer jobs, larger tanks reduce the number of refilling interruptions. The appropriate size also depends on mobility and abrasive consumption.

Can metal also be processed with IBIX?
Yes. With the right abrasive media, an appropriate nozzle, and the correct operating pressure, metal surfaces can also be cleaned and prepared.

How do you choose the right compressor?
The nozzle bore diameter, operating pressure, and the resulting air demand are critical factors. The compressor should have sufficient reserve capacity to handle these requirements.
