Equipment Description
A
Plastic Media Blaster is a stationary, direct pressure, blast cleaning cabinet
with manually controlled devices for removing paint from metallic components
by projecting fluidized plastic media with compressed air through a nozzle.
The components may be fabricated from aluminum, magnesium, or steel alloy.

Maintenance Activities (SIMAs) and meets shipboard requirements. Paint and
corrosion waste are separated, which allows the media to be reused.
