In short
For the first job, match the blast unit, compressor, air treatment, control hose, nozzle and media. A mobile operator also needs transport, fuel and site equipment. The SB-500 Trailer combines the blast unit, diesel compressor and air treatment on one trailer. One trained person can operate it.
What goes into the first mobile setup?
SBS reports that around 90% of its customers choose the SB-500 Trailer with the Professional Package, storage cases and pneumatically driven hose reel. At a demonstration, lay out what your first contract calls for. For example, a flat nozzle for a façade and an HV-4 for automotive work serve different needs.
Use the first training day to produce one accepted sample and a job sheet recording travel, setup, media use and cleanup. Ask for separate lines in the equipment offer for the basic configuration and the accessories that your first target customers actually need.
