The present invention provides a sponge blasting apparatus comprising: a
recovering unit which sucks and recovers a blasting medium jetted out of
a nozzle; a sorting unit which sorts the blasting medium sucked and
recovered by the recovering unit into a reusable blasting medium and an
unreusable blasting medium; a blower which gives a sucking force to the
recovering unit via the sorting unit; a dust collector which removes dust
from an exhaust air discharged from the sorting unit with a sucking force
of the blower; a picking-apart unit which picks apart the reusable
blasting medium sorted by the sorting unit; a continuous feeder which,
having at least two reservoir tanks into which the reusable blasting
medium picked apart by the picking-apart unit is inputted, changes over
the two tanks between each other to continuously feed the nozzle with the
blasting medium deposited in the tanks; and a carrier which carries to
the continuous feeder the reusable blasting medium sorted by the sorting
unit.
