Carbide 600 Pro — Inductor Tank System

Load 250 lbs. Blast Until the Job’s Done. The complete heavy-duty gravity-fed sandblasting system — a rigid full-drain cone tank on a purpose-built stand, paired with the Carbide 600 for full frames, full shells, and the jobs you get paid for. If you’re pricing out a pressure pot just to get more run time out of your rig — stop. The Inductor Tank + Stand runs the same patent-pending metering sleeve valve and air assist system that made the gravity-fed delivery system work, scaled up and built solid. A rigid roto-molded cone tank sitting on a dedicated steel stand, holding up to 250 lbs of media in a single fill. The included Carbide 600 completes the system. Its wider mixing chamber and wider carbide bore create a larger impact area, put more media on the surface with every pass, and cover large frames, trailers, panels, and equipment with fewer passes. Pour it in. Dial it in. Work. Carbide 600 included · Up to 250 lbs per fill · Rigid full-drain cone · Dedicated heavy-duty stand · Sealed vented lid · 3× the blast radius of a standard nozzle · No compressor required · Engineered in the USA WHY THE TANK ✓ Up to 250 lbs in one fill. Fifteen gallons of dry media, depending on what you’re running. That’s a full side of a car, or a complete frame, without walking back to the shop. On the BMW 2002 shell, the whole job ran fifteen 90 lb bags — this is how you feed a job that size without your day turning into refills. ✓ Rigid. Nothing flexes, nothing sags, nothing shifts. Roto-molded polyethylene, one solid piece, no seams to split. Load it to the top and the geometry doesn’t change — the tank holds its shape and the valve holds its position from the first pound to the last. Set your flow once and it stays where you set it. ✓ Full-drain 54° cone — it actually empties. This is the same cone design farms use to mix and dump chemical in the field, engineered so nothing settles in a corner and nothing bridges. Media keeps falling straight down into the metering sleeve valve until the tank is genuinely empty. You blast what you paid for instead of leaving a wedge of it stuck in the bottom. ✓ Solid on the ground. The tank drops into a dedicated stand built 4” taller than standard specifically to clear the full-drain cone — so the valve sits at working height and the media hose runs straight out with nothing in its way. A 20” × 20” footprint and a loaded tank sitting low and centered. Shop floor, gravel, dirt, grass. Set it down and it stays put. ✓ Built for the long haul. Polyethylene doesn’t rust, doesn’t rot, and doesn’t care about weather. UV-inhibited for life outdoors. This is equipment built to sit in a yard, get loaded and unloaded a hundred times, and still be the same tank in five years. ✓ Sealed vented lid — 12” threaded. Load it and leave it. Rain, dust, and shop debris stay out, and your media stays dry. Wet media is the number one cause of a slow feed, and a sealed lid is how you never deal with it. ✓ See your level without stopping. Translucent tank with gallon markings molded in. Glance over mid-job and know exactly what you’ve got left, so you top off on your terms instead of finding out at the worst possible moment. ✓ Doesn’t clog. Media falls straight down through the patent-pending metering sleeve valve into the air assist system. No pickup tube to jam. Nothing to shake. ✓ Make it part of the rig. Bolt it to a trailer, a cart, or a shop corner and it becomes a permanent blasting station — a fixed piece of your setup instead of something you assemble at the start of every job. ✓ Carbide 600 included. The system comes with the Carbide 600 nozzle, built for sustained-pressure wet blasting and faster coverage across large surfaces. The nozzle system remains interchangeable, so you can still swap to the Ceramic Series when the job calls for it. WHY THE CARBIDE 600 ✓ 3× the blast radius of a standard nozzle. The impact area is roughly golf-ball-sized instead of pencil-tip-sized, spreading the pressure across a larger contact area with every pass. ✓ Wider coverage. Fewer passes. The wider carbide bore covers more surface at once, so trailers, frames, hoods, and large panels take fewer passes to strip. ✓ Wider bore. Fewer interruptions. Built to reduce the clog-related interruptions common with small ceramic openings. Dry, properly sifted media still matters. ✓ Built for sustained pressure. The carbide construction is engineered for demanding wet-blasting sessions and an approved operating range of 2,500–10,000 PSI. ✓ Short-profile design. Connects to almost any compatible standard pressure-washer gun or wand, with no adapter required for most setups. ✓ Wet blasting without the compressor rig. The pressure washer creates the water force, the tank delivers the abrasive media, and the Carbide 600 spreads that power across a wider impact zone. THE MECHANISM Your pressure washer does the work. No compressor, no pressure pot, no cabinet, no dust containment plan. The patent-pending metering sleeve valve sits at the bottom of the cone. Quarter turn to open — it locks in and holds. Below it, the air assist system mixes air into the media before it ever reaches the Carbide 600. The tank feeds abrasive media downward naturally — like an hourglass — so your washer only needs a little pull to maintain a perfect, steady feed. The Carbide 600 then spreads that power across a wider impact zone, putting more media on the surface with every pass. No sputtering, no clogs, no shaking a bucket. 6-hour job. 5 minutes of downtime. Full 1972 BMW 2002 shell — roof to rockers, heavy Bondo on a door and two quarter panels. Total downtime across the entire day was five minutes, and that was one fitting change. No clogs. No flow interruptions. BUILT FOR BIG JOBS Full car shells and full frames — measured in hours, not minutes Farm and heavy equipment — implements, decks, loaders, gates, tanks Trailers, tube frames, dune buggies, truck beds Anyone blasting for money — uninterrupted run time is margin Shop rigs and trailer builds — a permanent station, not a setup you rebuild every time Concrete, graffiti, large metal panels, marine work DIALING IT IN — WHAT “RIGHT” LOOKS LIKE Have a test spot ready. Scrap panel, or just the concrete. Watch the media hose. If you’ve ever seen sand run through the narrow point of an hourglass — smooth, continuous, no surging — that’s what you want to see. On a sunny day you can see it right through the line. At the Carbide 600, the stream should still look like water, with the media carried inside it. Judge the rest by feel: the ricochet coming back should be a light ping of fine grains, barely felt. Too much media and it bounces back like mini ping-pong balls. Not enough and you’re just spraying water. Sit just under “too much.” Hose moving like a worm? Flow surging? Too much sand, not enough air. Back the meter off one full turn. Dial to what you’re removing. Light paint needs far less media than heavy Bondo. Don’t waste sand. RUN IT LIKE A PRO Startup: Water first, always. Trigger pulled and water flowing before the valve opens. Shutdown: Close the meter first, let the hose evacuate, then stop. Reopen the meter to restart. Two seconds of discipline. It’s what keeps the next pull clean instead of clogged. HOW IT RUNS Set the stand on level ground and drop the tank in. Pour your dry media straight in through the 12” opening — no funnel, dump it from the bag. Secure the included Carbide 600 nozzle and O-ring to your compatible pressure-washer gun or wand. Connect the reinforced media hose to the Carbide 600 nozzle assembly. Open the air inlet so the media feeds smoothly. Trigger and water first. Quarter turn on the sleeve valve — dial it in on your test spot. Blast until the job’s done. WHAT MEDIA SHOULD I USE? The Carbide 600 is the nozzle system. Abrasive media is the consumable that does the cutting — and for the wider bore, 30-grit abrasive is the preferred all-around starting point. 30-grit abrasive All-around rust, paint, and coating removal The preferred starting point — fast cutting with a smoother finish through the wider bore 20-grit abrasive Stubborn coatings and heavy buildup More aggressive, but can wear the nozzle faster Garnet Steel and automotive restoration work Choose the grade based on the coating and desired surface finish Coal slag / Black Diamond-style Heavy rust and demanding industrial surfaces Aggressive media; follow supplier handling and disposal guidance Crushed glass Rust, paint, and coating removal Choose the grade based on the surface and desired profile Always keep the media dry. Keeping your abrasive dry solves most feed problems before they start. Wet or clumped media is the most common cause of poor feeding. Sift before use, and keep extra nozzles on hand for big projects.

Fifteen gallons — up to 250 lbs depending on what you’re running. Denser media weighs more per gallon. Does it include the Carbide 600? Yes. This is the complete Inductor Tank + Stand + Carbide 600 system. The Carbide 600 nozzle, O-ring, and pressure-washer connection fitting are included. Will it work with my pressure washer? The Carbide 600 works with almost any compatible standard electric or gas pressure washer from 2,500–10,000 PSI. Performance also depends on water flow, abrasive media, surface condition, and technique. Contact support with your machine’s PSI and GPM if you’re unsure. Which should I get — the tank or the bag? Both run the same patent-pending metering sleeve valve and the same air assist system, so the blasting feels identical. The tank is the heavy-duty end of the line: more capacity per fill, a rigid full-drain cone, a sealed lid, and a build meant to live outdoors and get used hard for years. If you’re running full shells and frames or you want a permanent station on your rig, this is the one. Do I need to bolt it down? No. Loaded, it isn’t going anywhere. Bolt it to a trailer or cart if you want the whole rig to travel as one unit. Can I leave media loaded in it? Yes — that’s what the vented lid is for. Keep it dry and it’s ready to go next time. What media should I run? For the Carbide 600’s wider bore, 30-grit abrasive is the preferred all-around starting point. Dry crushed glass, garnet, and coal slag also run well. Sift reclaimed media through a stainless screen before it goes back in the tank. Will the Carbide 600 clog? The wider bore is designed to reduce the frequent clogging associated with small ceramic nozzle openings. Reliable feeding still depends on dry, properly sifted abrasive and a clean delivery system. Can I use it on concrete? Yes — it works for appropriate concrete cleaning, coating removal, and graffiti removal. Test an inconspicuous area first. Can I use it on boats or fiberglass? Yes, with care. The wider pattern is gentler than a tight ceramic nozzle that can dig into fiberglass, but start with reduced pressure and a milder abrasive, keep the nozzle moving, and test an inconspicuous area first. How long do nozzles last? Service life depends on abrasive type, grit, PSI, and usage. More aggressive 20-grit media can increase wear. Carbide is built for high-pressure wet blasting, and replacement nozzles are always in stock, so grab extras for big projects. Does it come with the stand? Yes. Tank, stand, and Carbide 600 ship together as one complete system. Fill it once. Finish the job. 30-day money-back guarantee. Real support for setup, media, and pressure-washer questions. Replacement nozzles always in stock. Complete system: Carbide 600 + Inductor Tank + Stand — everything required for controlled, high-capacity gravity-fed wet blasting in one package.
