Disclosed herein are components, systems, and methods of operating an abrasive fluid jet system that recycles and reuses abrasive particles for multiple cycles. The systems and methods include adjusting one or more operating parameters of the abrasive fluid jet system to compensate for a reduction in cutting power of the used abrasives as the used abrasive particles are continuously discharged from the outlet of the cutting head across multiple cycles. The one or more operating parameters include fluid pressure that forms the fluid jet, a cutting speed of the cutting head, and flow rate of abrasive particles, which are changeable while continuing to operate the abrasive fluid jet system. The one or more operating parameters include an orifice size through which a fluid passes to generate the second fluid jet, a mixing tube diameter through which the second abrasive fluid jet passes, and a length of the mixing tube.

A shot peening efficiency system for separating reusable abrasive media from non-reusable media includes a housing having an opening configured to receive an abrasive media inlet valve; and a separator assembly disposed within the housing, the separator assembly comprising at least one mesh screen and at least one vibratory motor. The housing includes a main channel having a first channel for reusable abrasive media and a second channel for non-reusable abrasive media. The separator assembly is configured to separate reusable abrasive media from non-reusable abrasive media by passing the reusable abrasive media via the first channel and by passing the non-reusable abrasive media via the second channel. The first channel terminates at a reusable abrasive media outlet valve connected to at least one first abrasive media hopper; the second channel terminates at an abrasive media discard outlet valve connected to at least one second abrasive media hopper.

Various examples of the disclosure relate to a blast machine having a process chamber. A tumble belt, for example, can be arranged in the process chamber. Techniques for venting the process chamber are described. Techniques for fastening the tumble belt are described. Techniques for operating blasting nozzles are described.

A carrier assembly for holding a hose that includes a main body having a first portion movingly engaged with a second portion. There is a guide rail disposed on at least one of the first portion, and the second portion. Either the first portion or the second portion is configured with a gripper element, and a latch.

A part processing assembly comprising including a media collection device that is adapted to receive used media from a media-blasting chamber. A transport mechanism, coupled to the media collection device, transports used media to a media reclaim system. A first separation device is used to perform a filtering process on the used media to create non-useable media and useable media. A second separation device is configured to apply a magnetic field to the useable media to create recycled media for use in the media-blasting chamber.

An abrasive blast cabinet uses a space frame to support panels defining an enclosed volume. One of the panels defines a view port and access ports. Illumination devices positioned on the one panel adjacent to and/or surrounding the view port illuminate the enclosed volume without significant shadowing, glare or reflections. The illumination devices are captured between a frame and the one panel and are protected from the blast environment by channel members which are covered by a transparent plate overlying the view port.

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and system for separating reusable abrasive media from non-reusable media. The system for separating reusable abrasive media from non-reusable media having a housing defining an enclosure and being configured for further separating previously sorted and discarded abrasive media, the shot peening efficiency system operating via the housing comprising: a symmetrically bisected housing having a left housing component and a right housing component having an angled opening configured to receive an abrasive media inlet valve wherein the left housing component and the right housing component are connected via one or more fasteners; wherein the symmetrically bisected housing is deep set at the left housing component and the right housing component in a manner configured to accept a separator assembly comprising at least one wire mesh screen, at least one vibratory motor, and one or more mounting hardware components. Also disclosed are methods of using apparatus and system.

A powder chamber, especially for or of a dental powder jet apparatus, including at least one conductive region, which is electrically conductive, where the at least one conductive region includes a contact surface, which is formed within the powder chamber.
