Systems and methods for cleaning and preparing a surface are described. The system includes a housing with a first hopper configured to receive a first material and a second hopper configured to receive a second material. A tube housing an auger may be located where the two hoppers meet. In this way, the materials are mixed in the tube before being pushed through a hose to a nozzle. The mixture can be sprayed out of the nozzle. The mixture only requires a single air source, and the system operates using a combination of gravity, venturi suction, vibration, an auger and the like.

The portable apparatus for cleaning surfaces comprises a base (3); a tank (2) associated with said base (3) at the top thereof, said tank (2) being predisposed to contain at least one abrasive material. At least one mixing valve (9) is associated with the base (3) and connected with said tank (2) so as to receive said abrasive material contained in said tank (2) and mix said abrasive material with a predetermined amount of compressed air. An adjusting member (11) is associated with the tank (2), said adjusting member (11) being predisposed to enable the selection of a predetermined value indicating the amount of said abrasive material to be mixed with said compressed air in said at least one mixing valve (9).

An abrasive blasting system that includes a blast hose, and a deadman assembly coupled with the blast hose. The deadman assembly further includes a primary deadman switch and a secondary deadman switch. The deadman also has a base frame, with each of the primary deadman switch and the secondary deadman switch coupled with the base frame. There is a trigger member pivotably coupled with the base frame, the trigger member configured to contact and move the primary deadman switch to a signal-flow position, and also to contact and move the secondary deadman switch to a secondary signal-flow position.

The peening apparatus includes a processing tank, a table, a moving unit including a nozzle moving device, a quill, a first head having a mounting hole and disposed at a distal end of the quill, a motor and a first spindle exposed from the mounting hole, a nozzle head portion separable from the moving unit and including a second head having a connection port connected to the mounting hole, a connecting shaft connected to the first spindle, a second spindle, a nozzle disposed below the second spindle, a nozzle flow path penetrating inside the second spindle and connected to the nozzle to be opened to an upper end of the second spindle, and a swivel joint disposed at an upper end portion of the second spindle and connected to the nozzle flow path.

A powder chamber, in particular for powder polishing devices, including a casing and two functional sectors, whereby the two functional sectors are arranged to be opposite to each other, and whereby at least one functional sector is designed to provide an opening for a working medium such as air or a mixture of powder and air, and whereby the two functional sectors are designed to allow the powder chamber to be locked. The two functional sectors are preferably arranged along an axis and are rotationally symmetric.

A waterjet system in accordance with at least some embodiments includes a carriage, a motion assembly configured to move the carriage horizontally relative to a workpiece, and a cutting head carried by the carriage. The waterjet system can also include a kinematic chain through which the cutting head is operably connected to the carriage. The kinematic chain can include first, second, and third joints rotatably adjustable about different first, second, and third axes, respectively. The carriage and the first and second joints can be configured to move the cutting head along a path relative to the workpiece while the cutting head directs a jet toward the workpiece to form a product. The third joint can be configured to shift a kinematic singularity away from the path to reduce or eliminate delay and corresponding reduced cutting accuracy associated with approaching the kinematic singularity.
