Improve compressed air quality and reduce moisture-related equipment problems with the Quantum Blast QB-185CFM-12V Portable Air Aftercooler, designed for mobile abrasive blasting contractors, diesel air compressors and industrial compressed air applications.

Featuring a high-performance air-cooled heat exchanger, powerful 12V electric cooling fan, dual-stage filtration and integrated water separator tank, this compact aftercooler helps reduce compressed air temperature and remove condensed water before it enters downstream equipment.

With an airflow capacity of 185 CFM, heavy-duty caster wheels and a portable frame, the QB-185CFM-12V is an excellent solution for mobile blasting operations and industrial workshops requiring effective bulk water removal.

PORTABLE DESIGN | 12V OPERATION | SUITABLE FOR COMPATIBLE 185 CFM COMPRESSOR SYSTEMS

WHY CHOOSE THE QUANTUM BLAST QB-185CFM-12V?

1. PORTABLE 185 CFM AIR AFTERCOOLING SYSTEM

Designed for compressed air systems operating at up to 185 CFM, subject to equipment compatibility, the QB-185CFM-12V provides effective cooling and bulk moisture separation in a compact, portable configuration.

Ideal applications include:

- Dry abrasive blasting and sandblasting
- Wet abrasive and dustless blasting
- Portable diesel air compressors
- Industrial surface preparation
- Construction and infrastructure maintenance
- Engineering workshops
- Industrial pneumatic equipment
- Mobile contractor operations

2. EFFECTIVE BULK WATER REMOVAL – APPROXIMATELY 80–90%

Moisture in compressed air can cause abrasive clogging, inconsistent blasting performance and premature wear in downstream equipment.

The QB-185CFM-12V cools compressed air through its heat exchanger, encouraging water vapour to condense.

The cyclonic moisture separator then removes approximately 80–90% of condensed liquid moisture under suitable operating conditions.

Key benefits:

- Helps reduce water entering abrasive blasting pots
- Reduces moisture-related abrasive clogging
- Supports consistent abrasive flow
- Helps protect pneumatic equipment
- Reduces moisture-related maintenance issues
- Supports reliable compressed air operation

Actual performance depends on inlet temperature, ambient conditions, humidity, pressure and airflow.

3. DUAL FILTRATION SYSTEM

Unlike basic aftercooling systems, the QB-185CFM-12V incorporates a dual filtration arrangement for improved compressed air treatment.

Cyclonic Moisture Separator

Separates condensed liquid water from the compressed air stream, helping reduce bulk moisture entering downstream equipment.

Particle Filter

Designed to capture suitable particulate contaminants, dirt and entrained oil droplets, subject to the filter element specification.

Together, these components help provide cleaner compressed air for industrial applications.

4. 12V ELECTRIC COOLING FAN

The QB-185CFM-12V features an electrically driven cooling fan powered by a 12V supply.

Benefits include:

- 12V electrical operation
- Forced-air cooling across the heat exchanger
- Suitable for mobile compressor installations
- Practical for trailer-mounted equipment
- No mains electrical connection required when a suitable 12V supply is available

A compatible 12V power supply is required for operation.

5. INTEGRATED WATER SEPARATOR TANK WITH MANUAL DRAIN

The integrated water separator tank collects condensed moisture removed from the compressed air.

A manual drain enables operators to discharge accumulated water during normal maintenance.

Benefits include:

- Convenient moisture collection
- Easy manual draining
- Reduced liquid carryover to downstream equipment
- Straightforward maintenance

6. COMPACT, PORTABLE & TRAILER-MOUNTABLE

Designed for mobile contractors, the QB-185CFM-12V features a durable support frame and heavy-duty caster wheels.

Its compact dimensions and 45 kg weight make it practical for workshop movement and suitable installation on compatible compressor trailers.

Key advantages:

- Heavy-duty portable frame
- Caster wheels for manoeuvrability
- Compact footprint
- Suitable for mobile blasting setups
- Trailer-mounting capability
- Practical for workshop and industrial applications

IDEAL FOR ABRASIVE BLASTING CONTRACTORS

DRY ABRASIVE BLASTING

Moisture in compressed air can cause garnet and other blasting abrasives to become damp, leading to blocked abrasive metering valves, inconsistent abrasive flow and unnecessary downtime.

The QB-185CFM-12V helps reduce condensed water entering the blasting system.

WET ABRASIVE & DUSTLESS BLASTING

Suitable for compressed air preparation in compatible wet abrasive blasting systems, including Quantum Blast RapidBlast™ equipment.

The portable 185 CFM configuration is particularly useful for mobile blasting setups.

MOBILE DIESEL COMPRESSOR PACKAGES

An excellent accessory for suitable 185 CFM portable diesel compressors and contractor trailer packages requiring improved moisture management.

INDUSTRIAL SURFACE PREPARATION

Supports compressed air treatment for rust removal, coating removal and general industrial blasting operations.

CONSTRUCTION & INFRASTRUCTURE

Suitable for portable compressor installations and mobile maintenance equipment operating at remote worksites.

ENGINEERING & INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE

Helps reduce moisture-related problems in compatible industrial air tools and pneumatic equipment.

WHY IS COMPRESSED AIR MOISTURE CONTROL IMPORTANT?

Compressed air leaving a compressor contains water vapour, particularly in humid operating conditions.

As hot compressed air cools, water vapour condenses into liquid moisture.

If this water enters downstream equipment, it can cause:

- Damp abrasive media
- Blocked blast hoses and metering valves
- Inconsistent blasting performance
- Pneumatic equipment corrosion
- Increased maintenance requirements
- Operational downtime

The Quantum Blast QB-185CFM-12V helps address these issues through forced-air cooling, cyclonic separation and filtration.

For applications requiring a specific pressure dew point, very dry compressed air or breathing-quality air, additional specialised treatment equipment is required.

AVAILABLE IN 12V & 24V CONFIGURATIONS

The Quantum Blast portable aftercooler range is available in 12V and 24V configurations to suit different compressor and mobile equipment installations.
