The BP-9-SP is an affordable self-propelled 230 volt single phase blast cleaning system
designed for small to medium sized jobs as well as for acting as a complimentary unit
on larger jobs. Ideal for edge work & hard-to-reach areas, the BP-9-SP is utilized to
prepare concrete surfaces prior to the application of paint, coatings, or overlays on
areas such as garage floors, balconies, basements, pool decks, & edges. The
mechanics of the BP-9-SP are fairly simple. Shot from the blast wheel, which sits in a
control cage, is thrown over 200 mph through an opening in the control cage & down
onto to the concrete surface that is being cleaned. Due to the high rate of speed at
which the shot is traveling, it acts to fracture the underlying surface which consequently
produces concrete dust. After hitting the concrete surface, the shot rebounds off of it
and, through a combination of the rebound effect & the use of a vacuum, the shot as
well as the concrete dust move through the blast housing. Because shot is heavier than
concrete dust, gravitational force causes the shot to be sent back into the shot hopper
where it is continuously recycled by the machine. As for the concrete dust, it is sucked
into a duct hose which travels from the blast housing to the dust collector. After traveling
through the duct hose, the concrete dust is deposited in the dust collector’s dust bin.
Specific advantages of the BP-9-SP include that fact that it as well as all of its parts are
made in the United States. As a result, there is typically no lead time when ordering
parts. Also, the electrical box & electrical components of the BP-9-SP are engineered &
constructed by a UL certified electrical contractor. The type W 12/3 electrical cord used
in the BP-9-SP is the toughest & most wear-resistant cord available on the market
today. Finally, twenty-four hour customer service comes standard with the purchase of a
BP-9-SP machine
