The Graco Ecoquip EQM Mini is an industry favorite for small project vapor blasting. Available with or without an electronic dead man switch.
The compact, mid-sized unit makes it convenient and portable for small companies and single operators who desire a dustless environment while retaining a powerful blast pressure. The EQM Mini generates far less dust (approx. 92% less dust) than dry sand blasting while also requiring less water than competing wet blasting units.
The ideal abrasive for the EQM is garnet which significantly reduces dusting in-and-of itself. These machines are great for surface prep, restoration & maintenance, and general blast cleaning.
