Abrasive Blaster Safety Switches
 |
Add these switches to your abrasive blasting hose to prevent it from spraying if the operator loses control. Also known as deadman switches, they prevent injuries and reduce wasted material by springing back to the off position when the operator lets go. All are for use with blasting systems that allow remote control blasting. Attach to your hose with hose clamps.
Electric
 |
Handle Actuator |
These switches send an electric signal to the control panel on the blaster to stop the spray. Because the signal is electric, these switches respond quickly even when your hose is long. They're recommended for hose that's over 100-ft. long and required by OSHA standards for hose that's over 200-ft. long.
Handle Actuator—Switches with handle actuators have a large surface area, so you still have leverage when squeezing the switch in your palm, even when wearing bulky gloves.

Air Powered
|
Handle Actuator |
Send an air signal to the blaster’s inlet and outlet valves to stop the spray. These switches are easier to install and maintain than electrical switches. However, signal delay increases with hose length, so these switches are not recommended for hose over 100-ft. long.
