Surface preparation plays an important role in industrial maintenance, coating removal, corrosion control, and equipment refurbishment. For projects where dust, abrasive consumption, visibility, and operator control are important, portable feed units provide a controlled solution for abrasive media delivery.
HATTA Trading & Services, through its partnership with Sponge-Jet, supplies portable feed units designed to meter and deliver Sponge Media abrasives consistently across industrial surface preparation applications. The product range includes compact mobile units, value-focused configurations, high-capacity systems, and an ATEX Zone 2 certified model for potentially flammable environments.
Portable feed units are abrasive media delivery systems designed to provide controlled and consistent media flow during surface preparation. Sponge-Jet portable feed units use an internal agitation assembly combined with an adjustable pneumatic auger metering system to maintain reliable abrasive flow at different blast pressures.
These systems are designed for applications where controlled abrasive delivery, reduced dust, lower ricochet, and improved visibility are important. Their portable configurations also make them suitable for industrial maintenance projects where equipment needs to be moved between work areas.
Depending on the model, the equipment can support applications ranging from localized cleaning and maintenance work to extended blasting operations.
The portable feed units use an internal agitation assembly to help maintain dependable Sponge Media flow. An adjustable pneumatic auger metering system controls the delivery of abrasive media according to the blasting requirements.
The equipment also incorporates an E-Stop and remote deadman control system, supporting operator control and safety during blasting operations.
Standardized pneumatic components and color-coded pneumatic lines are incorporated into the equipment to help simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
This combination of controlled metering, pneumatic operation, and operator controls makes the units suitable for a range of industrial surface preparation environments.
The internal agitation system and adjustable pneumatic auger metering provide consistent Sponge Media delivery. Controlled media flow can be particularly useful when abrasive consumption and blasting consistency are important considerations.
Sponge Media abrasive blasting is designed for applications where reduced dust is beneficial. Lower dust levels can help improve visibility around the work area and make the equipment suitable for certain sensitive or occupied environments.
The supplied product information highlights reduced ricochet as one of the advantages of the Sponge-Jet approach. This can be beneficial when surface preparation is being performed around equipment-dense or sensitive work areas.
The product range includes lightweight mobile equipment as well as larger, high-capacity systems. Model-specific features include casters, integrated wheels, fork pockets, lifting eyes, and compact footprints.
The RASP Xtreme™, for example, weighs approximately 58 kg and is designed to pass through a 60 cm (24 in) manway, making it suitable for applications where restricted access and mobility are priorities.
Portable feed units incorporate an integrated E-Stop and remote deadman control system. These features provide additional operator control during blasting operations.
The 170-EX model also includes additional grounding and spark-minimization features for potentially flammable environments.
The Sponge-Jet portable feed unit range includes several configurations designed around different application requirements.
RASP Xtreme™: The RASP Xtreme™ is a lightweight 58 kg unit designed for mobility and restricted-access applications. It has a 37-liter media vessel and an estimated blast time of approximately 12 minutes.
Its compact design and ability to pass through a 60 cm (24 in) manway make it suitable for applications where equipment access is limited.
100-HP: The 100-HP is a compact configuration featuring pressure adjustment, a secondary moisture separator, and an estimated blast time of approximately 30 minutes.
It has an 8.5 bar (125 psi) pressure certification and is designed for applications where a compact but feature-rich unit is required.
170-CG: The 170-CG is a 170-liter value-focused configuration designed for straightforward deployment. It provides an estimated blast time of approximately 55 minutes.
170-SJ: The 170-SJ is a feature-rich 170-liter portable feed unit designed to balance equipment size, cost, mobility, and productivity. Its estimated blast time is approximately 55 minutes.
170-EX: The 170-EX is a 170-liter portable feed unit certified for ATEX Zone 2 applications. It features a stainless-steel frame, specialty components, additional grounding, and spark-minimization features.
This configuration is intended for potentially flammable environments where appropriate equipment certification and design features are required.
470-CG and 470-SJ: The 470-series units are high-capacity configurations intended for extended blasting operations. The 470-CG and 470-SJ provide approximately 140 minutes of estimated blast time before refilling, based on the manufacturer’s stated conditions.
The 470-SJ adds a more comprehensive handling and control package.
The supplied specifications show a range of vessel capacities, pressure certifications, nozzle options, and estimated blast times.

The PDF notes that estimated blast times are manufacturer estimates based on a working mix with a #6 nozzle, and actual operating times may vary.
Portable feed units can be used across a variety of industrial surface preparation and maintenance applications, including:
They can also be useful in sensitive, occupied, confined, or equipment-dense areas where reduced dust and ricochet are important considerations.
For potentially flammable environments, the ATEX Zone 2 certified 170-EX configuration is available according to the supplied product information.
Selecting the right portable feed unit depends on factors such as accessibility, required blast duration, mobility, capacity, handling requirements, and the working environment.
For restricted-access locations, a lightweight unit such as the RASP Xtreme™ may be appropriate. For applications requiring longer blasting periods, the 470-series provides a higher-capacity option.
Projects involving potentially flammable environments may require the ATEX Zone 2 certified 170-EX configuration.
Other model-specific options include moisture separation, pressure relief, centralized controls, lifting points, fork pockets, utility steps, and different caster configurations.
