JB Laser approached BlastOne, hoping to reduce the noise in their blast room and throughout the facility. They mainly wanted to improve communication between teams, without diminishing productivity.
JB Laser is a custom coatings shop with laser cutting services in Boise, Idaho.
JB Laser produces a long-lasting, durable powder coating. To ensure that the high-quality powder adheres to the surface, they start by sandblasting items, using Garnet abrasive, in a blast room. Garnet media leaves no embedment and creates the cleanest surface, giving a smooth, even finish compared to other abrasives. Once blasted, these items are ready to be powder coated.
JB Laser tested the SnakeBite Flex, hoping to reduce the amount of noise pollution throughout their facility during blasting.
The SnakeBite Flex provided dramatic results. The noise reduction helped communication within the shop, while also increasing blasting efficiency. Before the trial, the team at JB Laser did not understand the impact that noise had on the day-to-day. After switching to SnakeBite, they can now communicate effectively while blasting; an extraordinary difference.
SnakeBite’s design gives a larger blasting pattern through a more consistent laminar flow of abrasive particles through the nozzle. This design has improved the blasting speed by 50%.
The SnakeBite Flex reduces noise generated by up to 16 dBA – that’s equivalent to up to 75% quieter than standard nozzles, and the typical high pitched screech is now gone.
Reduce the risk of operator and bystander hearing related injuries and increase your ability to comply with workplace noise regulations.
With its reduced noise capabilities, SnakeBite Flex allows other crews to work in the vicinity of blasting, minimizing production disruptions.
The unique design of nozzle and silencer reduces operator fatigue by up to 45%. Operators can better maneuver the nozzle and will be less fatigued over the shift.
Productivity of the Flex is comparable with standard nozzles (same size, pressure, media) and the XQ is up to 25% more productive than standard nozzles of the same size. The reduced nozzle kick-back thrust – up to 45% – can actually increase productivity by reducing operator fatigue and enabling a high rate of productivity to continue throughout the shift…. and the #10 Strike (due to the larger orifice size) can increase hand-held blasting productivity up to 54%.
Adjusting these factors will have an effect on dB reduction.
