LMT Communications, Inc. · LAB DAY · Apr 2012

The sand recirculating function reprocesses the abrasive materials for roughening procedures and lining removals, so the majority of the remaining sand is recycled and reused, resulting in minimum waste. A double connection that's effective from either side of the machine ensures maximum suction performance and operator safety. Equipped with a built-in reserve air tank, EcoTech also has a durable, large-capacity plastic chamber (over 25 liters); ergonomically designed handles and nozzles; and powerful, adjustable LED lighting for visibility. It is available in either a two- or three-tank design and carries a two-year warranty. For details, call 877-819-6206 or visit www.zhermackusa.com.
