Attention StripCo Owners/Operators |
 Soda Blast pots purchased from the company StripCo (aka CHC International) in Dallas, Texas, between the dates February 20, 2005 and April 23, 2007 or later, have been altered. The soda blast pots in question were sold by The Soda Works to StripCo for their use during this time period.
The pots in question were fabricated by US Metals, located in Sandy, Oregon and developed and manufactured under U.S patent # 7134945 for THE SODA WORKS of Walla Walla, Washington, Joe Alexander, President. Please be advised that StripCo apparently removed a portion of the federal certification plate containing inspection, certification, builder and patent holder information. Photographs of illegally modified pots had been displayed on the StripCo website and in other advertising.
Use of one of these pots missing a federal inspection plate is not advised and any failures are the responsibility of the user and StripCo. |
 Note that current StripCo units are visual copies of other manufacturers equipment - namely The Soda Works. Upon close inspection of the units and from reports of users, it has been determined that certain inherent performance flaws exist in the build/design of the units.
To the left is a picture of a Soda Works Buster Blaster 100 pot with altered federal build and inspection plate. Note: it is missing the bottom half of the plate.
Above to the right is a photo of Soda Works Buster Blaster blast pot mounted on a StripCo soda blasting unit during the time period mentioned above.

 To the right is a photo taken in November 2009 of a StripCo mobile soda blaster featuring a 3.5 cu. ft. Axxium/Schmidt sand blast pot being utilized as a soda blast pot. Stated soda flow rates at this show with this pot were 100 lbs. per hour - double the flow rate of a Soda Works Buster Blaster 100 soda blast pot.

Take a closer look:
Sand blast based pots that will not stay in efficient flow adjustment.
|
Undersized air cooling/drying units.
|
Look, The inspection plate has no serial number..
This is a big no-no. Every unit is supposed to be uniquely identified.

Just a single aux. air output ...and more ...or even less, depending on how you are looking at it.
Think you need a remote control flow adjustment for your blast pot? We don't. The Soda Works contractor based dealer network sells a lot of baking soda blast media to our Soda Works network of trained contractors, but also to a lot of our competitors contractors too. That list includes contractors from StripCo, Sodablast Systems, Surface Tek, Pro Blast, and Eastwood's to name a few. We hear what their contractors have to say about their equipment and most tell us really just how much media they are using per hour.

 Comments from the StripCo guys is that the pot will not stay in adjustment as the media level in the pot changes - hence the need for the remote control. Why not just build a pot that stays in proper adjustment and forget the expensive remote control that often works backwards? Over the past few years, StripCo has purchased and sold no less than four different blast pots from suppliers. When one of their contractors call with a problem, a request or for technical advise, I first have to determine what pot is on his rig. Is it a Sodablast Systems or a Schmidt or a Soda Works (Yup, they used to sell to StripCo) or a patented Soda Works Buster Blaster look-a-like (in external looks only)?
The Soda Works makes the only Soda Blaster in the world designed from the ground up specifically and exclusively for soda blasting. Through the patented Buster Blaster system, you can achieve peak performance and efficiency from the soda media. The Buster Blaster system has a patented self-cleaning venturi that requires little or no maintenance. The metered system runs consistently with no variation in the media flow throughout the job. The metering valve is precision fit to enable soda consumption to be reduced by 20% to 50%. The savings in media and increase in efficiency when you are using the Buster Blaster system by The Soda Works will have it paying for itself! |
