Great Add-Ons for Your VH3500 Dry Blast
Dust Collector
A dust collector is designed to remove airborne dust and fine particles generated during the sandblasting process. Sandblasting produces a significant amount of dust from the abrasive media and the material being removed from the surface. Using a dust collector helps maintain a cleaner work environment by reducing airborne dust levels. It also minimizes the risk of operators inhaling harmful particles, improves visibility inside the blasting cabinet, and prevents dust from settling on surrounding surfaces.
Reclamation System
The reclamation system is focused on recycling and reusing the abrasive media used in the sandblasting process. Its primary function is to collect, separate, and reintroduce the reusable abrasive media back into the blasting operation. This helps reduce material costs by recycling abrasive media, maintains consistent blasting performance, and minimizes waste disposal requirements.
Amazing Products, Great Company! I love my Micro Hone. I've used it the last 3 years to rebuild/restore motorcycles and have had zero problems with my unit. My micro hone takes a little more time to clean parts than other units I've used, but can still achieve the same results from my own garage. Motors and parts look brand new and it also restores full performance to the engines I build. I also greatly appreciate any time I've ever called VHT, they've been happy, responsive, and helpful to work with. Greatly appreciate their products and service!
Approximately 4 years ago I purchased my VH 800P vapor blasting machine from VHT. I had never used a vapor blasting machine, only read about them and watched videos. At the time I purchased this machine I was in the process of restoring a couple of old motorcycles and I needed a quick and convenient way of cleaning parts after disassembly. I ordered a couple of "extras" on the machine such as a window wiper which really helped in the long run cleaning parts.
The VH 800P arrived quickly and I wasted no time in getting it set up to start cleaning parts. I watched all the videos VHT had posted on their website and this was a big help to me. In no time I was doing parts clean up like a crazy man. I even had people I knew stop over to clean up pieces for them. I thought of charging them for at least my time, but thought better if it and just left it as a favor to them.
The only issue I had was doing large flat pieces of metal and maintaining the same surface finish from start to end. There is a learning curve for this kind of work and you need "experimental" pieces to work on. Good vapor blasting technique is an art in itself and a lot of fun for those so inclined. I have learned alot about vapor blasting and the benefits it brings. No more am I standing next to a wire wheel spinning on an electric motor trying to clean parts and damaging them and/or my fingers!
The people at VHT helped me out more than a few times and they are great to deal with. If you buy a machine from VHT I am sure you will enjoy the rewards it brings.

All my interactions (since 2016) with the folks at VHT have been fantastic. A real standup company — that stands behind their product . With friendly and Helpful staff to help get the right replacement parts. Most importantly a high quality product that produces amazing results.
I purchased the 800 FL with upgraded pump and heat. I own an automotive machine shop and we use it for cleaning engine components. I will say it works excellent and brings used parts to like new condition. Saves a lot of time in the shop which was the number one reason i purchased. I was a little skeptical that the 800 FL would work and keep up with the demand we put it through but have had no complaints.
I’ve owned a weekend warrior for 3 years and outside of regular maintenance this machine is awesome. I help with many types of restoration and this machine allows me to get it done!
Vapor Honing machine does a fantastic job. Great clean finish. Great investment for classic restoration projects. Makes work easier and faster. See before and after pictures.
Sand Blasting FAQs
- What is sandblasting?
- What are the primary applications of sandblasting?
- Is sand always used in sandblasting?
- Is sandblasting safe for operators and the environment?
- Can sandblasting be used on all surfaces?
- Sandblasting is a surface preparation technique used to remove paint, rust, corrosion, and other contaminants from various surfaces. It involves propelling abrasive materials, such as sand, at high speeds using compressed air or other methods to clean or prepare a surface for further treatment, like painting or coating.
- Sandblasting is commonly used in various industries, including automotive, construction, manufacturing, and shipbuilding. Some common applications include removing old paint or coatings, cleaning metal and concrete surfaces, etching glass or stone, and preparing surfaces for painting or welding.
- Sand was historically a common abrasive material in sandblasting. Today, safety and environmental concerns have led to the use of alternative abrasive materials like garnet, aluminum oxide, glass beads, and plastic media. The choice of abrasive material depends on the specific application and the surface being treated.
- Sandblasting can be hazardous if proper safety precautions are not followed. Operators should wear personal protective equipment, such as respirators, goggles, and protective clothing, to prevent exposure to airborne abrasive particles. Additionally, proper containment and dust collection systems are essential to minimize environmental impact and protect workers from harmful dust and contaminants.
- Sandblasting may not be suitable for all surfaces, as it can be too aggressive and potentially damage delicate materials like wood or thin metal. The choice of abrasive material, blasting pressure, and technique must be carefully selected based on the surface type and the desired outcome. In some cases, alternative methods like Vapor Honing, soda blasting, or dry ice blasting may be more appropriate for sensitive materials.
