Description
The Kresco Econoblast Series is a line of suction sandblast cabinets built for light industrial shops that blast a few times a week but still want an industrial-grade cabinet rather than a hobby box. Rugged welded-steel construction, real dust collection, and the same Kresco parts and service behind the bigger ECAB and CleanBlast cabinets — at a workshop-friendly price.
What You Need to Run It
An air compressor delivering at least 22 CFM and a few pounds of blast media (glass bead or aluminum oxide are the usual choices). That’s it. The Econoblast is sized for light-duty cleaning, finishing, trimming, deburring, etching, and surface preparation before paint or powder coat.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty welded steel cabinet
- Suction blast delivery (pressure delivery available on request)
- Self-cleaning cartridge dust collection for clear visibility inside the cabinet
- LED lighting and ergonomic foot-pedal controls
- Automation-ready — turntable and basket options for semi-automated finishing
- CSA-certified, OSHA-compliant
- Multiple pre-engineered sizes, or a custom cabinet built to your largest part

Who Buys the Econoblast
General manufacturing, machine and repair shops, aerospace and aviation MRO, mechanical workshops and body shops, transport and automotive, and metal forming and finishing shops that need a reliable cabinet without a production-line budget.
Which Blast Cabinet Do You Need?
Blasting a handful of small parts now and then? The compact ECO420 may be enough. Blasting every shift, or chasing a repeatable finish? Step up to the ECAB Series with media reclaimer or the CleanBlast and PowerBlast industrial cabinets. Compare the full line on our sandblasting cabinets page or read the sandblast cabinet buyer’s guide.
Pricing & Lead Time
Built to order by Kresco and quoted by Solvent Recycling Systems. Request a quote with your part sizes, media, and how often you blast, and we’ll recommend the right cabinet size and dust collector.
Part of your finishing line: Abrasive blasting is step one of surface prep. Once parts move to paint, keep spray guns clean with a spray gun washer and reclaim your cleaning solvent with a solvent recycler. Freshly blasted steel flash-rusts fast — protect it between blasting and coating with Cortec VpCI rust prevention. See how it all connects in From Blasting to Painting.
