I think we misunderstands each other :scratch: !
You says I do "not have to have a separate box for gun & object" - what I mean is that I need a CABINET - with nothing in it except the gun and the object (not a box for the gun and another box for the object) :scratch: !
In the buttom of this cabinet there is a funnel witch collects the used sand and by a hose in the buttom of the funnel the used sand runs into the "northpole" connection of the sphere and now the dirty sand gets cleaned in the sphere.
Today I have dismounted the sphere to see what is inside and maybe find out it works - I did a drawing with some explanation here:

I can assure you that there is NO PLACE for gun & object inside the sphere ... if this is what you mean !

Blimey this is getting REALLY silly. :doh:
It WAS a self contained sand blasting system that recycled its sand by sucking it up in the yellow rubber moulded heads and returning it to the pot. Believe me, I had one, I used it, that is what it WAS.
NOW it may be being used as a sand / dust separator on a cabinet blaster, a job it would do perfectly satisfactorily.
Finito. :doh:

As far as we can all tell, you have two systems which someone has, for some unknown and strange reason, connected together.
If it is a commercial cabinet, for that size, the gun normally sucks powder from a hopper or funnel which is made by having a tapered base to the cabinet and the gun just sucks from the pile of grit or media inside - the suction hose from the gun stays inside the cabinet and just goes down through a hole in whatever mesh or floor you have in the cabinet. IF there is a hole at the bottom of the funnel of a small cabinet it normally has a bung and is only opened to drain media out when you want to change the media.
You then also appear to have a portable unit which someone has fastened under the drain port of an ordinary cabinet.

As I said ... at least I misunderstood YOU :Doh:
I think I have got it now and when it gets a little warmer here - -10° Celsius - I'll do some tests to clean some of the sand.

Dragging up an ancient post here, but I noticed that someone was reading it, and I remembered that there had been a discussion regarding a spherical sand blaster - I had had one so knew exactly what it was, but thought that I'd passed it on. However when rebuilding the MIRAC CNC lathe I'd found it on a shelf but couldn't remember which thread the discussion was in - this jogged my memory :clap:
