ABSTRACT:
In accordance with illustrative embodiments of the present invention, a hopper containing a sodium bicarbonate abrasive is pressurized with a dry gas such as nitrogen. The abrasive is fed into a transport line through which compressed air flows toward a nozzle, and pressures in the hopper and transport line are regulated so that the hopper pressure is greater than the transport line pressure by an amount that keeps the abrasive in the hopper very dry so that the same differential pressure causes a precisely metered amount of abrasive flow.
Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of cleaning by applying a stream of dry water soluble abrasive particles, such as sodium bicarbonate particles, entrained in air, as the abrasive agent to a cavity of a blast nozzle to which water under pressure is also applied. Such method includes the step of directing the output of the nozzle toward a surface to be cleaned.
