Abrasive blasting equipment is subject to very harsh treatment – attack by abrasive materials under pressure, an unforgiving environment, rough handling, amongst other things. Consequently, the replacement of spare parts is constant. Added to this is the remote location of many blasting sites, making quick access to distributors and repair workshops impossible. As a result, a constantly replenished stock of replacement parts in the field is essential.

The biggest issues with moisture separator components are not so much what happens to them, but the effect of their failure on other components in the moisture separation system. For example…

• A failed regulator could cut airflow to the radiator fan on an AirPrep system, reducing its operating efficiency. This in turn means that moisture gets through to the blast machine.
• A failed lubricator could stop supplying lubrication oil to the radiator fan motor could cause it to seize.

Consumable items also need to be watched for depletion (e.g., deliquescent tablets and lubrication oil). Unnoticed depletion of these consumables can result in reduced operating efficiency and/or component failure.

One of the most important considerations when selecting moisture separator spare parts is whether they are genuine OEM parts. Due to the volume of replacement parts consumed by the Abrasive Blasting Industry a large “knock-off” parts industry has sprung up. In the main these “knock-off” are noticeably inferior. Problems caused by these parts include short life, compromised results quality, engineering standards failure, increased risk of injury, etc. Purchase and use of these of these parts is false economy.
