Mobile blasting systems
The MCS² is a mobile blasting and stripping system that works at low pressure, between 2.5 and 4 bar. It takes paint, graffiti and deposits off wood, natural stone, metal and glass. A 55 litre vessel, an 8 metre hose, the whole set on wheels in a small van.
The technique
Air gumming is blasting at low pressure with a fine, homogeneous abrasive. The grain hits the surface at a shallow angle and takes the contamination with it, without attacking the carrier. That is why you can also work on wood, natural stone and glass.
The working pressure usually sits between 2.5 and 4 bar. Fine grains up to 250 microns for soft substrates, coarser grains for paint on harder material.
On natural stone the weathered surface skin is preserved; on wood the natural wood grain is left standing. That works because the working pressure stays between 2.5 and 4 bar and the grain hits the surface at a shallow angle.
The filter pressure regulator holds the working pressure steady. You fix the setting on a hidden spot before you start on the visible side.

AerospaceThe set
The set consists of the blast generator, the screw compressor, the aftercooler, an 8 m blasting hose and a 10 m air hose with safety couplings.
Pneumatically controlled, mobile, with sieve and lid, remote control with silencer and a filter pressure regulator.
Compact and light, with a flow up to 1,300 l/min, a power of 15.5 kW and 76 dB(A).
External, for condensate free compressed air, with the connecting lines permanently fitted.
Blasting hose of 8 m, air hose of 10 m with safety couplings, plus visual and hearing protection.
Applications
From small parts to entire facades. What changes is the grain and the pressure, not the installation.

Consumables
Here the grain decides the result: its chemical make-up, its shape, its hardness, its grain size and its bulk density. We supply the usual media from stock and choose what suits your substrate together with you. Our media contain no free crystalline silica.
Service
The nozzle, the hoses and the filter wear under intensive use. The grain size you choose is what decides how quickly the nozzle wears out.
You have your installation checked by our own technicians, with no intermediary. You set out the visits in the contract.
Maintenance, repair and spare parts you arrange directly with Phibo. Nozzles, brushes, hoses and filter cartridges are in our own stock.
We show your people how to match the pressure, the abrasive and the brush to the job in front of them.
