Claim Text:
1. In combination a splitter manifold and at least two wet abrasive blasters connected to the splitter manifold by individual air conduits: a) the splitter manifold receiving compressed air from a source of compressed air and splitting an inlet air flow among a least two passageways defined within the splitter manifold; b) each passageway including a pre-nozzle proximate an outlet end defining at least two compressed air outlets each having a defined cross sectional area; c) the splitter manifold communicating air through the outlets to the corresponding individual air conduits which extend from the outlets to the wet abrasive blasters to separately feed compressed air and entrained wet abrasive to the at least two wet abrasive blasters respectively; d) wherein the at least two wet abrasive blasters each include an exit nozzle which is substantially the same or smaller in cross sectional area than the corresponding pre-nozzle. e) wherein each air conduit includes an air valve between one of the air outlets and one of the wet abrasive blasters; and includes a connection to one of at least two sources of wet abrasive mixture between the air valve and the wet abrasive blaster.
