Conventional deadman that are tie-wrapped or clamped onto the blast hose forces the blaster into less than ideal body and arm positions which are difficult to sustain. This quickly causes operator fatigue resulting in slower blasting productivity. With this in mind, BAABS was originally conceptualized to address these widely accepted limitations by directing most of the blast nozzle thrust onto the Thrust Management Brace Assembly which can be placed onto the chest or other parts of the body capable of absorbing this thrust for longer durations. Less muscle and strength demand results in significant reduction of fatigue.

G3 Trigger-Style Deadman Controls N/A The new Schmidt® brand pneumatic and electric G3 Trigger-style Deadman controls combine time-tested concepts and components with unprecedented comfort to provide blasters with the most dependable deadman in the industry. With real-world abrasive airblast applications in mind, these deadman controls are designed to have all the features and benefits blasters look for. The G3 Trigger-style Deadman are easy and comfortable to use, provide fast response, easy to configure, are simple to maintain and optimize operator safety.
Thrust Management Brace System Assembly and Side Grip N/A The BAABS is designed to direct most of the blast nozzle thrust onto the Thrust Pad which will typically be placed onto the chest. This places the strength demand directly onto the torso, resulting in less muscle exertion by not requiring the arms to directly or indirectly manage all of the thrust. This greatly reduces operator fatigue. Clenched grips (hand cramps) and arm fatigue are eliminated due to the easier grip design which allows for a more comfortable grip and control of the blast hose. The Grip Bar and Thrust Pad can be quickly configured for left or right-hand operations and multiple positions to accommodate different blast positions.
Hose Grippers N/A Both Short and Long BAABS rail systems come with Blast Hose Grippers. Each side of the rail base houses two grippers that effectively grip the exterior surface of the blast hose to prevent sliding but allow rotation and swivel. Each Blast Hose Gripper is offered in different sizes to allow the base to be configured for various blast hose sizes (3/4 in. - 1-1/2 in.). Grippers simply snap into the inside of the BAABS rail and are simple and quick to remove.
Safety N/A
  • System includes the Trigger G3 deadman which is based on the Schmidt® G2 deadman to provide time-proven safety and reliability
  • Safety tab prevents inadvertent trigger activation until actuated with thumb
  • Trigger guard provides additional protection
  • Redundant self-locking latch ensures the base stays secure around blast hose
  • Thrust management, low trigger pull, and other benefits combine to promote safer behavior by introducing holistic comfort to the blaster
  • Clamshell base keeps the blast hose straight and prevents hose from wearing and failing near the operator.
Function N/A
  • Improved ON and OFF pneumatic response over the already quick Schmidt® G2 deadman
  • Optional patent pending two function trigger (electric or pneumatic) enables seamless and effortless secondary function such as abrasive cutoff or ASAP 2.0
  • The clamshell base with swivel features extends blast hose life at section near the blaster
Productivity N/A
  • Reduction of blaster fatigue through increased comfort will promote longer sustained blasting resulting in more blast nozzle on time per shift
  • Allows blasters to comfortably manage greater thrust produced by a higher blast nozzle pressure
  • General rule assumes 1.5% productivity gain with each psi increase in blast nozzle pressure
  • Optimizing (leaning out) abrasive flow will generally increase nozzle pressure and productivity along with reducing abrasive consumption
Convenience N/A
  • Can be easily and quickly retrofitted onto common size and quality brand of blast hoses
  • Clamshell base allows blast hose to swivel while preventing longitudinal sliding
  • The thurst management bracket and pad can quickly be configured for left-or right-handed operation
  • Trigger G3 has an ambidextrous design
  • Top and bottom mounting rails can easily accommodate future accessories such as blast lights

Additional Information N/A Clenched grips, hand cramps, and arm fatigue are drastically reduced due to the more ergonomic benefits, which enable more comfortable control of the blast nozzle. BAABS will allow blasters with smaller hands and bulky gloves to grip with ease and can be quickly configured for left- or right-hand operations as well as multiple positions to accommodate different blast angles. As a result, smaller body-size blasters can more easily manage larger blast nozzles. The improved overall comfort will enhance blaster safety and increase productivity by promoting more blast nozzle on time per shift. BAABS comes standard with a short rail system to allow movement in tighter spaces or the more ergonomic optional longer base.
