VANIMAN MICRO-ABRASIVE BLASTING VANIMAN MICRO-ABRASIVE BLASTING SYSTEMS AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

Vaniman Manufacturing, Inc. began business in 1985. We manufacture and sell micro abrasive blasters and dust collectors worldwide through distributors. Our goal is to provide quality products that fill a niche in the industrial market. We are always expanding our product line to better serve our customers.

The Vaniman units are portable micro abrasive blasters. "Portable" means lightweight, 7-26lbs. "Micro" means small and precise, using media in the 60 to 220 grit and orifices .015" to .089" "Abrasive" means using a blasting media that will cause the target material to be abraded.

HOW THEY WORK

All the blasters are pressure pot systems: A pressure pot blaster works by mixing the air and media in the hopper (or pot). The mixture is carried to the nozzle by the hose. The air and media are then forced out together in one stream.

Vaniman carries a variety of specialty nozzles to cover all your blasting needs: The round tips come in crystal or carbide. We have three crystal sizes: .032", .048", and .089". The carbide tips sizes are: .026", .036", and .059". We also carry a line of specialty tips; rectangular, right angle and extended tips to get into those hard to reach places.

Every day new technology is discovered. Tomorrow there will be more uses for our blasters, but here are some of the uses for today:
