with Apollo 600 LP
Respirator
Stock No. 21842
Note: For safe, efficient blasting, read
and follow the owner's manual and seek
training for everyone who will use this
equipment.
Purpose
High-performance blast cleaning
system removes corrosion, mill scale, and
coatings from most surfaces. Produces a
uniform surface texture, and creates a
surface profile to increase bonding for
coatings. See related literature for
additional applications. Machine holds 6
cubic feet of abrasive for up to 30
minutes of continuous blasting with
standard No. 6 nozzle (3/8-inch orifice).
Contractor System Accessories

Consumption Chart in Blast Off 2
booklet.
• Maximum working pressure 150 psi
• Minimum pressure 30 psi needed to
operate OSHA-required remote control
valves
• Blast suit and work boots
• Abrasive blast media - consult abrasive
supplier for appropriate media for your
application
• Ambient air pump, capable of
delivering 7 to 15 cfm of Grade D
breathing air to the Apollo 600 LP.

Description of Operation
The operator wears the Apollo 600 LP
respirator, which is connected to an
optional ambient air pump – such as
Clemco’s CAP-1. The operator controls
blasting from a remote control handle at
the nozzle. Pressing the handle starts
blasting, releasing it stops blasting. The
blast machine contains abrasive and
meters it into the compressed air stream.
