Contec Elephant Compact & Confined-Space Shot Blaster
200 mm Contec Elephant shot blaster for confined-space prep.
110 V / 230 V / 400 V options. Low vibration ≈2.8 m/s², ≈87 kg, H-Class compliant. Verified £5.07/hour wear cost
The smallest, most portable Contec blaster — purpose-built for confined spaces with multiple power options and low HAVS.
Overview
The Contec Elephant is the smallest and most portable mobile shot blaster in the Contec range — purpose-built for
confined-space surface preparation where manoeuvrability and dust-free performance are critical.
It achieves a consistent CSP 3–4 finish on concrete or steel and operates from 110 V, 230 V or 400 V supplies.
The 400 V / 4 kW version includes an integrated drive for steady, uniform travel and finish.
When paired with a certified H-Class extractor from PWM’s Industrial Dust Control range,
the Elephant delivers fully compliant, silica-safe operation in enclosed or sensitive areas.
