Problem Type: Equipment
Workspace: Metal Shop
Asset: Trinco 300 Abrasive Blaster
Summary: No air flow
Additional Info: Hi Guys - came in for a second try on the media blaster. Now there is no air flow through the gun. Vacuum comes on and gauge shows air pressure. Any troubleshooting guide? Would like to finish my parts today if possible.

Take it apart and look for a clog is all I can think of.

OK, so a little more color here.

-The foot peddle was working intermittently. Turning regulator up just a bit may have helped.

-The connection from the box to the vacuum setup doesn’t have a good fitting and frequently came loose as I was trying to troubleshoot.

-Definite clumps and clogs in the hopper. Seemed to do a bit better after breaking that up a bit. Better but inconsistent flow. I was just removing rust so it got the job done.
