The principle of the suction type (sometimes called a gravity or |
siphon type) is the same as an air gun for injecting paint or a |
sprayer for ironing. The AM type and *Petit-blasting PM type |
belong in this category. The mechanism is very simple but the |
power is lower than that of a direct presure type. In many |
cases, general air blasting means this suction type. |
The abrasive media control is relatively easy compared with |
other types, and this type may be applicable for precision |
products. In that case, the machine will be expensive because |
of the mechanisms included within the machine to enhance |
precision. During continuous injection, refilling abrasive media |
is easy. |
