Seeking info on closed loop

Hi guys

New dude here from scandinavia.

So…i have been open blasting over the years. And now looking for buying my very first closed loop.

The problem is i dont know anyone with a system.
So all my knowledge comes from reading and YT

Im hoping somebody could point me to a tread with a guideline/tutorial on first time using. Have been searching here. But not with luck

Perheps there was a kind soul who could help with some treads or info.

Thank you

You have come to the right place. Just use the Search Bar at the top. There are several configurations and methods to operating a CLS. Consider the environment where you will operate, just like open blasting. To get started checkout https://qualitystainlessparts.com/ , a member of this forum has this store and might be more helpful while you are getting set-up. Also, Open Source Steel can be a good cheap starter resource, but after you know what you want. Go ahead and get a little system to get started and keep a little extra money in your budget for many ancillary start-up expenses. Excited for you.

Will do

Welcome! Are you buying for personal use or commercial? If the latter, here’s a shameless plug for Illuminated Extractors. I’ve used a small propane extractor from them for years and modified it continuously to meet my needs.

If you’ve got any questions feel free to PM me.
