I am currently working 3 days /week for a company who make high pressure (160bar) water hydraulic pumps/motors and valves and air motors. We were badly flooded in December (1.2metres of river / sea water) and the MD is buying a SH bead blaster to try to recover some of the rusted carbon steel components (the water hydraulic components are made from 316 ss so OK). It occurred to me that since we have two massive air compressors for testing air motors and make high pressure water pumps, it may be possible to make an aquablaster so that I can clean up all of my bike parts!! Anyone know how they are constructed? They are really expensive even second hand (around £10k compared with a bead blaster , around £2k).
