The A97 is the largest shot blaster in National's Apex series, a self-propelled variable-speed machine cutting a 10 in path at up to 2,000 sq ft per hour. It runs on 230 V three-phase power at 30 amps behind a 10 HP blasting motor, and its rebound plenum is tilted so the blast path reaches within 1/8 in of a wall.

The A97 is the machine for wide open floors on large jobs. It cuts a ten inch path at up to two thousand square feet an hour, self-propelled and variable speed, on three-phase building power. Where the A95 and A96 are sized for rooms, the A97 is sized for warehouse bays, retail shells and industrial slabs that have to be profiled in a single mobilisation.

Its rebound plenum is tilted, which is visible in the machine's stance: it leans to one side. That lean is what puts the blast path within an eighth of an inch of a wall, so the edge work a blaster normally leaves behind for a hand grinder is cut by the blaster itself.

Control follows the same pattern as the A96. A joystick handle carries a two-button arrangement that lets the operator run the machine one-handed, which is what speeds up the turn at the end of a row. Two LED lights throw light ahead of and behind the machine so blast overlap and the profile being cut stay readable in an unlit shell. Dust is handled by pairing the machine with National's DL4000P collector.

Common Applications

  • Profiling warehouse, retail and industrial floors for coatings
  • Large-area surface preparation where three-phase 230 V is available
  • Blasting to a wall line without a separate edging pass

Selection Notes

  • Requires 230 V three-phase power on a 30 amp circuit
  • Pairs with the DL4000P dust collector, sold separately
  • Step down to the A96 for an 8 in path on single-phase power
