The Air Systems International Blast-Air™ Cart Series is a rugged, mobile Grade-D breathing air filtration system engineered explicitly for heavy-duty industrial applications like sandblasting, coating, and surface preparation.
This specialized family features a heavy-duty steel cart framework (BA-1CAA) equipped with twin 300 CFM rear pre-filters featuring automatic drains. These high-capacity separators trap and purge bulk water, heavy oils, and coarse debris discharged directly from plant or mobile air compressors before the air reaches the internal Breather Box®. By handling the heaviest moisture load externally, this system drastically extends the lifespan of the internal three-stage filter elements, slashes jobsite maintenance downtime, and lowers long-term operational costs.
Below is a breakdown for the BA Series Blast-Air™ Carts, organized by air volume capacity and worker distribution capability.
??? The 100 CFM High-Capacity Blast-Air™ Carts
Designed for larger industrial crews requiring extensive air volumes, these systems deliver a 123 CFM flow capacity filtered down to 99.99% efficiency at 0.01 microns, backed by an integrated real-time Carbon Monoxide (CO) safety monitor.
Model SKU Item Name Crew Capacity Key Technical Features & Outlets
BA-100 Blast-Air™ Cart (100 CFM - 4 Outlets) Up to 4 Workers Standard heavy-duty configuration. Features 4 respirator couplings, an integrated 100 CFM Breather Box, dual rear pre-filters, and a 1/2" industrial interchange inlet plug.
BA-100-6 Blast-Air™ Cart (100 CFM - 6 Outlets) Up to 6 Workers Mid-to-large crew configuration. Expanded manifold provides 6 respirator couplings with safety-lock features, drawing from the high-output 123 CFM maximum flow stream.
BA-100-8 Blast-Air™ Cart (100 CFM - 8 Outlets) Up to 8 Workers Maximum density configuration. Equipped with 8 respirator couplings to safely supply a massive team from a single plant compressor source.

?? The 30 CFM & 60 CFM Compact-to-Mid Range Blast-Air™ Carts
Engineered for smaller crews and confined job layouts, these models offer the exact same rugged, twin-pre-filter cart structure scaled down for lower CFM operations.
• BA-30 (Blast-Air™ Cart - 30 CFM): Built for 2 workers simultaneously, this highly portable unit features a 48 CFM total flow capacity and 2 respirator couplings. It is ideal for independent contract sandblasting setups or quick touch-up coating crews requiring nimble transit across the yard.
• BA-60 (Blast-Air™ Cart - 60 CFM): Replaces legacy 50 CFM layouts to deliver enhanced 79 CFM total flow capacity optimized for 4 workers. Fitted with 4 respirator couplings, it serves as the ultimate sweet spot for standard commercial blasting crews who need intermediate volume with uncompromised mobile pre-filtration.
