SABIX 8 VR is the professional sandblaster designed for restorers, specialized craftsmen, laboratories, and operators who need to perform conservative restoration and micro-sandblasting with greater control of the jet and abrasive. On the FEVI Store page, it is positioned for light and medium applications, with a specific focus on sensitive and controlled processes, thanks to three distinctive elements: integrated humidification system , granulate vibration system , and pneumatic granulate regulation system .
The real operational advantage of this machine is its ability to work on surfaces requiring restoration or refinishing with a more precise setting than a general-purpose sandblaster. The combination of granulate regulation, abrasive material vibration, and humidification allows for more stable flow management and an approach better suited to delicate operations, where not only removal but also quality control during treatment is crucial.
From a technical point of view, the professional profile is supported by very clear data: adjustable pressure from 0.5 to 7.8 bar , 3 x 60 mm divergent widia nozzle , air consumption of 550 l/min at 7 bar , trolley base , 5 metre remote control , operating pressure reducer , remote control for start and stop and 13 x 21 mm anti-abrasion delivery pipe . The technical data sheet also reports the valve for mixing the abrasive ; in a variant of the same data sheet the words pneumatic valve for mixing the abrasive and pneumatic shaker for vibrating the tank also appear.
From an application perspective, the machine is recommended primarily for those working in conservative restoration , micro-sandblasting , finishing delicate surfaces , and more generally for all those processes where a more aggressive or less adjustable sandblaster would be less suitable. The product page itself explicitly places it in restoration and light to medium sandblasting applications.
The point that best differentiates it from other models in the FEVI range is not its large capacity or heavy productivity, but rather the fact that it is a solution oriented towards precision, stable abrasive flow, and controlled processing . In other words, it is not the model to push on the logic of "more autonomy" or "more work volume," but on the ability to better manage fine interventions, restorations, and sandblasting where control is more important than just the aggressiveness of the jet.
The optional equipment also strengthens the product's professional positioning. The technical data sheet lists a humidification kit for dust suppression , an RC4 protective mask , a PCS self-ventilated helmet , and a 3 x 20 mm cylindrical widia nozzle , useful elements for completing the configuration based on the type of intervention and the level of protection required.
