Sanstorm Blog

We LOVE this picture of a very old Sanstorm machine still in use today! As you can see, weather never stops a Sanstorm! Closed top models can withstand quite a bit of abuse…from weather, continuous duty or tough environments.

The owner of this particular A tank, built in 1949, had to FINALLY call for a new blast nozzle. This Sanstorm machine is still blasting away…53 years later, no new parts needed.

From the least aggressive media (corn cob) to the most aggressive (garnet), Sanstorm helps you tailor the finish to your requirements quickly and easily.

Our Open models in the Sanstorm line enable you rental duty reliability!

The open-top Sanstorm
models are recommended for commercial and continuous production work, because of the filling convenience and use of machine hopper for continuous action operation. Applications include Industrial, Rental, Commercial duty environments.

We have our contractors talk about two man teams cranking out continuous duty blasting for large projects. The ability to continuously fill Sanstorm
open top blasters while not losing pressure allows for a fill and blast capability – no down time! Lifetime warranties on our tanks and low to no maintenance means you keep blasting…on your terms.

Sanstorm blasters have a max operating pressure of 150 PSI, which means you increase productivity – 1 1.5 % for every pound of pressure!

MMLJ, Inc. certifications include: ASME, HSB, PED, and National Board. Since 1941, we are the only manufacturer to proudly offer a lifetime warranty on tank assembly!

One of the best ways to economize in this market is to be smart about your materials/consumables. If your job is blasting tough coatings and industrial surfaces, then you need to check out Sanstorm.

Sanstorm machines can save you over 30% in materials when removing tough coatings. Don’t expose yourself to harmful chemicals or spend back-breaking hours sanding when you have a faster, more efficient choice – Sanstorm. From the least aggressive media (corn cob) to the most aggressive (garnet), Sanstorm helps you tailor the finish to your requirements quickly and easily.

Sanstorm is unique in its Real Time Blasting so no consumables are wasted. This translates to a savings of up to 30%! No more losing media while waiting for the blaster to pressure up or down. Our systems offer constant pressure, and operate up to 150 PSI, saving you time and money. Sanstorm’s patented design differs from gravity-fed models in that it pulls the abrasive media from the top. The constant abrasive discharge and positive abrasive control keep you from wasting materials. In most jobs, it can translate to a savings of 30% or more in materials.

Does your system come with equipment that will dry the air being used? Air Drying Equipment complete with Air Filtering and Drying Components comes standard on all Sanstorm systems. This can often be a neglected or overlooked area with regards to Blasting Equipment. If you have a moist air supply, your equipment can quickly breakdown or cause more waste of the materials. Using a Sanstorm system guarantees you only good quality, dry air going into your blast pot.
