Burwell delivered a custom-designed pressure blast cabinet to the University of Sydney’s engineering training facilities, giving students hands-on experience with industrial surface preparation techniques in a safe, controlled environment.
This solution bridges the gap between classroom theory and real-world manufacturing, allowing learners to see how abrasive blasting processes are applied in practice.
Compact yet robust, the cabinet measures 1115 mm × 900 mm × 800 mm, constructed from fully welded 3 mm steel and mounted on freestanding support legs. A V-shaped collection hopper with a pneumatic conveyor enables continuous abrasive recovery, demonstrating industrial efficiency and process workflow for students.
Why It Works
- Safe Operation: Enclosed operator gloves, viewing window, and door safety cut-out
- Hands-Free Control: Foot-operated start/stop valve for intuitive operation
- Clear Visibility & Lighting: Twin fluorescent lights and baffled air inlet for optimal working conditions
- Practical Learning: Blow-down air gun and integrated abrasive recovery teach professional techniques
The Burwell cabinet transforms traditional training by replacing manual methods with a realistic, high-performance blasting experience. It enhances student learning, demonstrates efficient media reclamation, and ensures consistent surface quality—preparing the next generation of engineers for industrial and manufacturing environments.
Delivering industrial-grade solutions for education, training, and hands-on learning.
Frequently asked questions
Burwell design and manufacture high quality abrasive blasting equipment right here in Australia. Our range includes blast pots, dust collectors, blast cabinets and complete blast room systems, built specifically for contractors and surface remediation specialists who need gear that performs day after day.
Every product is engineered for durability, reliability and ease of maintenance. We take a long term view of manufacturing. That means stronger components, quality welds and designs that make sense on site, not just on paper. When you invest in Burwell equipment, you are buying equipment built to handle harsh Australian conditions and demanding industrial environments.
Because we manufacture locally, we also understand the challenges you face on site. We design equipment that is practical, serviceable and backed by ready access to critical spares. It is equipment built to last, not built to be replaced.
Yes, Burwell supply both purchase and hire options across our blasting equipment range. We understand that not every job requires long term capital investment. Sometimes you need reliable equipment quickly, for a shutdown, short term project or specialised contract.
Our hire fleet includes quality blasting equipment that is maintained to the same standards as our manufactured products. That means you can get on site with confidence, knowing the equipment is ready to perform.
Hiring can also be a practical way to test equipment before committing to a purchase. It gives you flexibility while maintaining productivity. With branches Australia wide, we can support your hire needs locally, reducing delays and keeping your project moving.
Whether you are scaling up for a large remediation project or need backup equipment to avoid downtime, we can provide a solution that fits your timeline and budget.
Burwell support a wide range of industries across Australia, including defence, marine, mining, oil and gas, infrastructure and industrial manufacturing. Our customers include large blasting contractors, remediation specialists and engineering firms responsible for preserving critical assets.
Surface preparation plays a key role in protecting steel structures, concrete assets, pipelines, marine vessels and industrial facilities. Proper blasting ensures coatings adhere correctly and assets achieve maximum service life.
We understand the pressures these industries face, strict compliance requirements, tight deadlines and high performance expectations. Our equipment and abrasives are selected and designed to meet these demands.
With branches Australia wide, we provide local support backed by technical knowledge. Whether you are working on a defence contract, marine refit or large scale infrastructure remediation, we supply equipment and abrasives you can rely on.
