Draper Portable Air Shot Blasting Kit, 120psi, 22kg Capacity

The Draper Portable Air Shot Blasting Kit (SBK22) is a lightweight, compact, and genuinely portable shot blasting system designed for fast, effective surface preparation wherever the work takes you. With a generous 22kg hopper capacity, an operating range of 50–120psi, and a 4.5-metre PVC grit hose, the SBK22 brings serious blasting capability to workshops, restoration projects, fabrication shops, and on-site work — all powered by your existing compressed air supply.

Ideal for removing paint, rust, burrs, and ingrained dirt from metal surfaces, as well as cleaning marks and contamination from brick and stone, the SBK22 puts professional-style surface preparation within reach of garages, restorers, fabricators, and serious home users.

Compact, Portable, and Ready to Work

Unlike fixed cabinet blasters or large pressure pot systems, the SBK22 is built around portability. Weighing just 2kg net (before media is loaded), with a built-in carry handle and integral hose storage, the unit can be moved easily between jobs, transported in a van, or stored compactly when not in use.

The large 22kg hopper provides substantial working capacity between refills, letting the operator focus on the job rather than constantly topping up media — a major productivity advantage on larger surface prep tasks.

Key Features and Benefits

The SBK22 combines genuine portability with serious working capability:

• 22kg hopper capacity — plenty of media for sustained blasting between refills
• 50–120psi operating pressure range — flexible to suit different media types and surface requirements
• 4.5-metre PVC grit hose for comfortable working reach around the workpiece
• Shot blasting gun included ready to use straight out of the box
• 1/4" BSP connector for standard compressed air supply connection
• Lightweight, compact design at just 2kg net weight (empty)
• Integrated carry handle for easy transport between jobs
• Integral hose storage keeps the kit tidy when not in use
• Works with your existing air compressor — no separate power supply or electrical connection required
• Backed by Draper Tools — one of the UK's most trusted workshop equipment brands

Ideal Applications

The SBK22's portability, capacity, and operating pressure range make it suitable for a wide variety of surface preparation tasks, including:

• Automotive restoration — chassis, body panels, brackets, suspension components
• Motorcycle restoration — frames, tanks, engine cases, small components
• Paint and coating removal from metalwork
• Rust and corrosion removal from steel and iron components
• Deburring machined and fabricated parts
• Surface keying prior to painting or powder coating
• Cleaning marks, graffiti, and weathering from brick, stone, and masonry
• Heritage and architectural restoration
• Fabrication and welding clean-up
• Garden equipment, gates, railings, and ironwork restoration

A genuine asset for restoration specialists, classic vehicle and motorcycle enthusiasts, fabricators, blacksmiths, monumental masons, builders, and serious home workshop users who need real surface preparation capability without committing to a large fixed cabinet system.

How Air Shot Blasting Works

Air shot blasting uses compressed air to propel abrasive media at high velocity against a workpiece. The impact of the media particles cleans, etches, or strips the surface — quickly removing paint, rust, mill scale, oxidation, and ingrained contaminants that manual cleaning simply cannot tackle efficiently.

By adjusting operating pressure (50–120psi on the SBK22) and media type, the operator can fine-tune the process for everything from aggressive paint stripping on heavy steel to gentler cleaning of more delicate substrates. This versatility makes air shot blasting one of the most useful surface preparation methods available.

The SBK22 works as a suction-feed (also called siphon-feed) blast system — drawing media from the hopper using the airflow from the gun. This design keeps the kit lightweight, simple, and easy to operate, making it ideal for portable, on-the-spot blasting work.

Compressed Air Requirements

The SBK22 is designed to be used with an external air compressor capable of delivering sufficient airflow at 50–120psi. For best results, ensure your compressor's CFM (cubic feet per minute) output is well matched to continuous blasting work — larger workshop compressors will give the best sustained performance, while smaller compressors may require pauses to allow the air supply to recover.

Safety and Operator Protection

Shot blasting generates high-velocity media, fine dust, and ricocheting debris — making appropriate personal protective equipment essential. Operators must always use a properly specified blasting hood or face shield, eye protection, respiratory protection rated for the media in use, ear defenders, and protective clothing including gloves. The blasting area should be well-ventilated or, ideally, contained to prevent media spread and dust inhalation. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult relevant safety guidance (such as HSE recommendations in the UK) before using any abrasive blasting equipment.
