Why does MBA offer cabinets with different window slopes?
Customer needs are not always the same. Parts for blasting may be low profile (below 6″ in height), or high profile (above 12″ in height). Parts are normally blasted while setting on the metal work surface. The 45º-window slope gives the operator the greatest visibility while blasting low profile parts. High profile parts will bring the part much closer to the 45º-sloped window. This will create high window wear due to abrasive bounce back. For this reason, MBA offers the 17º-window slope in an expanded height cabinet. This allows additional inside cabinet height and greater distance from the part to the window, thus reducing window wear. However, some visibility may be lost on low profile parts sitting on the work grate inside an expanded height cabinet. For this reason, we counsel customers to purchase the cabinet that will work best for the greatest number of parts.
