The SB Zephyr is the most compact and mobile dustless sandblaster in the Sandblast Tech range, specifically engineered for adding inscriptions to headstones directly at cemeteries.

Its design and functionality make it the perfect choice for stonemasons who require mobility, cleanliness, and convenience when working outdoors.

Primary Application – On-Site Cemetery Work

Dustless mobile sandblaster SB Zephyr was purpose-built for rapid and efficient engraving of additional inscriptions on gravestones. Its specially designed sandblasting head enables easy processing of vertical stone surfaces, while the 6-metre-long hoses provide effortless access to even the most tightly spaced or hard-to-reach monuments. Large, all-terrain wheels ensure easy movement over uneven cemetery grounds. Thanks to its lightweight and compact dimensions, the machine can be conveniently loaded into a van or car, either upright or laid flat.

Workshop Use – With Limitations

While the SB Zephyr can also be used in a workshop setting, it is optimised for outdoor, on-site jobs and single-task operations. Its performance is not on par with large, stationary sandblasters when it comes to continuous, high-volume workshop production. Many clients, after initial use, quickly realise that this mobile unit is best suited for fieldwork and decide to upgrade to a larger machine for regular in-shop sandblasting.

Dustless Operation – No Cleanup, No Stress

Thanks to its closed-loop abrasive circulation system, dual-stage separation, and highly efficient filtration, the SB Zephyr guarantees completely dustless operation even in challenging outdoor conditions. This not only protects the operator’s health-especially important for those with asthma or other respiratory issues-but also eliminates the need for sandblasting helmets and specialised protective suits.
This is particularly important in situations where sandblasting using standard methods is already prohibited.

The machine is exceptionally safe and can be operated by any team member without specialist training.

A major advantage is the significant time savings: there is no need to clean up scattered abrasive or wash down monuments after sandblasting. The efficient abrasive recovery system allows multiple inscriptions to be completed from a single 10 kg fill.
With proper job planning, it is possible to add inscriptions to as many as 10 different headstones in a single day  – a level of productivity unattainable with traditional sandblasters.

Simple Operation and Maintenance

The SB Zephyr is engineered for maximum user-friendliness. Replacing hoses, operating the detachable vacuum unit, and cleaning the air filter (using the convenient spring-loaded shaking lever) are all straightforward tasks that require no specialist knowledge. Any crew member, even without prior sandblasting experience, can quickly learn to operate and maintain the machine.

What’s Needed for Field Operation?

To fully utilise the SB Zephyr at a cemetery, you will need:
– A mobile air compressor (Sandblast Tech offers two dedicated models with Honda or Pezal engines, perfectly matched to this sandblaster),
– A 220–240V power generator (required for the vacuum and filtration system).

This setup allows you to work anywhere, independent of mains electricity or fixed compressed air supply.

Summary

The SB Zephyr is the ideal tool for stonemasons who value mobility, cleanliness, and operational convenience. It is an investment that enables you to deliver fast, professional on-site inscription services without the hassle of post-job cleanup or health risks. If your business requires a reliable solution for additional gravestone inscriptions in the field, the SB Zephyr is engineered precisely for your needs.
