Nothing Coming Out of the Nozzle - Causes and Fixes

Sometimes the blast nozzle can become clogged with debris or blast media. Here's how to fix it.

Ensure your blast pot is depressurized before inspecting the blast nozzle.

1. To depressurize, start by closing the pot's air inlet valve.
2. Then, slowly open the blowdown valve. 
3. Now, remove the nozzle and inspect for a rock or other foreign material.

Q: I found something clogging the nozzle. Why did this happen?

• Abrasive media suppliers vary in quality; poorly filtered media (new or recycled) can lead to clogging in the pot or at the nozzle. The provided fill cap has a mesh screen that can help to catch some of this debris. Also, we recommend you occasionally flush out your blast pot.
• While uncommon, rodents can actually sneak their way into the open end of your nozzle. Beware! 🐭
