In 1991, Ruemelin pioneered the high-performance dry blast cabinet for baking soda blasting.  Baking soda blasting addresses solvent substitution, waste minimization, and pollution prevention goals as well as overall environmental objectives in a wide range of industries.  In addition, because it is completely water soluble, baking soda helps eliminate passageway blockage that is common with blast media such as glass beads and plastic abrasive.  The surface engineering properties of baking soda are another unique plus for many applications, especially high-value component refurbishment.  Under proper operating conditions, baking soda can remove aerospace urethanes, powder coat, e-coat, polymer coatings, adhesives, gasket material, greases, oils, lubricants, and carbon residue.

  Baking soda blasting cabinets and systems manufactured by Ruemelin Manufacturing Co., Inc. incorporate patented purge ventilation technology.  Purge ventilation is the feature that distinguishes Ruemelin units from conventional abrasive blast cabinets and that provides exceptional, uninterrupted visibility for blasting at any pressure without regard for part configuration.  This feature is of vital importance when blasting with a highly friable single-use media such as baking soda.  Operator visibility is not only a productivity and ergonomic factor, but also enables critical ongoing inspection during the blasting process.
