MULTI-OUTLET PRESSURE VESSEL, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR WET ABRASIVE BLASTING

A wet abrasive blasting system includes a vessel having multiple outlets for dispensing slurry. A first sprayer of the system is operatively associated with a first blast control switch, and a second sprayer is operatively associated with an n-th blast control switch. A first blast line fluidly connecting the first sprayer to the first outlet includes a first pinch valve, and an n-th blast line fluidly connecting the n-th sprayer to the n-th outlet includes an n-th pinch valve. A time delay module of the system transmits signals to close all system pinch valves upon receipt of signals indicative of an actuated state of more than one blast control switch and, after a predetermined time delay, transmits signals to open all system pinch valves associated with their respective actuated blast control switches.
