Default Industrial blaster and blast room

I'm wondering if anyone on here is using a large pressure blaster in a blasting room. I'm about to build a sealed room and found a massive 50hp compresser to run a blaster. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where you can buy a large blaster with a 3/8-1/2" nozzle at the best price?

Sorry I don't have an answer for you. I'm also interested in all aspects of construction of this type blast room as I may need to add one in the future. Type of materials used to build it and the type of equipment needed.

Try not to seal it too well. Pressure differential is how the dust is cleared. How big a blaster are you looking for? Pressure pots can be had from many places that sell tools. In my experience, when buying equipment like a pressure blaster you get what you pay for.

I had a 100 lb. model with dead man handle and sturdy construction before someone stole it. It was a Sandy Jet and cost around $400. It did a great job, but just not fast enough. I need something that has a larger nozzle so I can cut down on time. The compressor I mentioned will run anything that I can throw at it, so cfm's is not a problem. I want at least a 300-400 lb. capacity.
