Trial Number 4

Trial Purpose:

To evaluate baking soda blasting unit

Date Run:

01/24/2002

Experiment Procedure:

Several client supplied parts were cleaned for 5 -10 minutes using a BCS Blasting unit with sodium bicarbonate media.  The system operated between 85-110 psi.  The parts were cleaned for a minute at a time, allowing the dust to settle and pressure to increase to improve blasting effectiveness.

Success Rating:

A follow up test, usually based on company input.

Conclusion:

The major concern with the baking soda blasting was visibility.  An improvement to the filtration/vacuum system could take care of this problem.  A second question was raised about automation.
