Why choose the Sabix 8?

Low air consumption

Run a professional pressure blasting machine from a much smaller compressor than many traditional blast pots.

Precise pressure control

Adjust blasting pressure from 0.5 to 7.8 bar to suit delicate surfaces or more demanding cleaning work.

Compact & portable

An 8 litre pot and lightweight wheeled design make the Sabix 8 easy to move between jobs and around workshops.

Made for restoration

Its controllable pressure makes it particularly well suited to wood, stone, masonry, metal and other surfaces where aggressive blasting isn't always appropriate.

What can you blast?

Metal & components

Remove rust, oxidation, paint and light coatings from steel and other suitable metal surfaces.

Wood

Strip coatings and clean timber while maintaining more control than with higher-pressure conventional blasting.

Stone & masonry

Clean stone, brick, marble and architectural surfaces using lower blasting pressures where required.

Classic vehicles & restoration

Ideal for smaller automotive components, restoration work and controlled cleaning of suitable surfaces.

Swimming pools & tiled surfaces

Remove grout staining, limescale, mineral deposits and surface contamination from tiles, grout and suitable pool surrounds.

Decorative & specialist work

Suitable for controlled blasting, engraving and finishing on surfaces such as stone, marble and glass.

✔ Stonework
✔ Masonry
✔ Restoration
✔ Outdoor blasting
✔ Jobs where dust needs to be controlled

Suitable blasting abrasives

The Sabix 8 can run a wide range of blasting media depending on the surface and finish required.

Aluminium oxide

For faster removal of rust, paint, corrosion and coatings from harder surfaces.

Glass bead

For gentler cleaning and finishing of aluminium, stainless steel and other metal components.

Garnet

A versatile abrasive for rust, paint and coating removal.

Vegetable-based media

A softer option for timber, restoration and more delicate substrates.

Sodium bicarbonate

For very gentle cleaning and light coating removal with minimal surface profiling.

We'll recommend the right abrasive based on what you're blasting.
