Heavy Duty Magnetic Power for Detailed Cleaning
The Powerstik Pro Elite is Bluestreak’s premium handheld magnetic sweeper built for professionals with over 2x more power than the original Powerstik. This additional power increases the speed you can clean an area by picking up more per pass and holding more debris before needing to clean the magnet.
The Pro Elite comes with the new Powerstik Quick Clean-Off sleeve that removes debris with a press of a button and slide of the sleeve. It also doubles as a wear bar to prevent damaging the aluminum housing when dragging on hard surfaces, it has four sides so you can flip it around multiple times when a side gets worn out.
The new adjustable height arm rest allows for easy maneuvering of the 4.3lbs sweeper by people of different heights.
The new rare earth Super Blue magnet system in this sweeper will pick up a nail from 3.25” and will hold an impressive amount of weight making it perfect for picking up any metal debris in tight spaces.

Innovative & Efficient Shotblasting Magnet
Ceramic Powered Continuous Discharge Magnet
The Fusion was built to be a lower cost but almost equally effective alternative to our Theta sweeper, it features a 22lb capacity debris tray that can be emptied right back into your shot blaster once the tray gets filled up. The Fusion weighs in at only 35lbs, making it significantly lighter than the industry standard rolling magnets allowing for more use with less effort. The design of the C8 ceramic magnet assembly creates a concentrated field which allows the Fusion to perform at the same level as the Theta. There are two concentrated points in the field, marked on the debris tray handle that are the optimal points to pull shot out of control joints up to 1” deep.
Because the magnet is always being cleaned, it maintains full power so it doesn’t leave shot behind as you collect more shot like the standard rolling magnets can when they lose power as you fill the magnet with shot; this results in a cleaner floor and a better finish.

Easy to Use Ceramic Powered Shot Blasting Magnet for Medium-Large Sites
The Gamma continuous discharge magnetic sweeper for shotblasting is a cost effective and easy way to reduce time and cost of cleaning up after surface preparation jobs. The Gamma has 42lbs of shot carrying capacity and works as fast as you can walk thanks to the Ripwhirl technology that always keeps the magnet at 100% power.
Clutched drive wheels that roll on sealed precision bearings ensure the Gamma pushes easily and can take zero point turns without the risk of metal dust contaminating the bearings. The front caster wheel supports the magnet weight and allows turning without having to lift the magnet to pivot.
The specially designed C8 ceramic magnet assembly will pull S550 shot out of cracks up to 1 ¼” deep and never loses charge. Power of the magnet is concentrated in two places which is indicated by markers on the chassis for cleaning cracks while the rest of the magnet can easily pull all shot from hard surfaces on the FIRST pass.

Double the Power in a Compact Design. Perfect balance of size and performance!
The Fission magnetic sweeper is the same width as the Theta but with twice as many rare earth magnets as the Theta enabling maximum performance at picking up shot out of expansion joints and cracks.
The Fission debris holding tray is twice as big as the Theta tray holding approximately 42lbs of steel shot allowing you to cover a larger area before emptying the tray.
Because the Fission has more rare earth magnets the overall sweeper is almost double the weight of the Theta. The Fission is 41lbs compared to the Theta at 21lbs. But it is still compact and light enough to make operations easy.

Economical Ceramic Powered Continuous Discharge Shotblast Cleaning Solution
The Photon Ceramic Magnet for Shot Blasting is a premium yet cost-effective option for cleaning up after large shotblasting / surface prep operations. The ceramic magnet assembly can pull S550 shot out of control joints that are up to 1 ¼” inches deep. All the features that make the ATMOS model the industry standard for shotblasting magnets are present on the Photon, but now with C8 Ceramic power and a lower price point.
Ripwhirl technology keeps the magnetic field of the Photon clear of shot so all the magnetic power can be used to pick up shot which allows 100% shot collection until the debris bins fill up. The Photon cleans up shot at walking speed and can be converted to a towable magnet to further increase shot pickup speed.
Removable aluminum debris trays hold up to 84 lbs of S550 shot before they can be removed to empty out back into your shot blaster. This carrying capacity can be doubled by purchasing two additional debris trays that rest on aluminum rails above the PVC drum for more sweeping range.

Edger Accessories for Continuous Discharge Magnets
Edger Accessory for Theta and Fusion Shotblast Magnets
The Edger accessory can be attached to a Theta or Fusion to clean up areas more thoroughly and efficiently after shotblasting. The Edger uses an array of rare earth magnets to pick up shot that is up against walls and edges and uses rotating fins to throw the shot into the path of the main magnet housing of the Theta or Fusion This extra sweeping reach enhances the cleaning potential of the Theta or Fusion shotblast magnet by allowing operators to clean shot away from walls without using a broom.
Edger XL Accessory for Quantum Shotblast Magnet
The Edger XL accessory works similarly to the smaller Edger but with more magnetic power and a larger rotating drum. The Edger XL uses rare earth magnets to pull shot away from walls and edges of areas that have been shotblasted. There is a thermoplastic rubberized wheel on the Edger XL’s drum that rides on the wall to rotate the fins on the bottom of the Edger magnet housing to throw the shot into the path of the Quantum’s main sweeping assembly to be picked up. The Edger XL has a caster wheel for easy maneuvering and to keep a set sweeping height for maximum shot pickup. It can also be flipped up and away when not needed for easy transport and storage.
Quick Tips
What do the staff of Bluestreak have to say on the subject of shot blasting magnets?
The Continuous Discharge Magnetic sweepers (Theta Fission, Atmos) all measure "Maximum Lifting Height" in terms of the depth of floor crack below the wheels that they will pick 100% of the shot out of. The Bora sweeper doesn't measure maximum lifting height in this way. So the two types of magnets are really hard to compare, they are so different. The Continuous Discharge Magnets, any of them, are just more effective. The big reason for that is obviously the rare earth magnets versus the ceramic magnets in the Bora but also the fact that the Continuous Discharge Magnets are always at full strength because the magnet is constantly being cleaned off as you push it.

What is the shot blasting debris problem?
Shot blasting actually has no debris problem, it’s a process problem. Shot blasting machines propel steel shot at surfaces at high speeds and then recaptures most of it...but not all.
The steel shot that is not recaptured by the shot blasting machine remains on the ground and needs to be picked up. But it’s extremely difficult to pick up and almost impossible to sweep up yet it’s absolutely necessary to pick up this steel shot. The “debris” problem when shot blasting is high and the need for control is also very high.
Why pick up steel shot left on floors?
For shot blasting floors in preparation for coating any shot left on the floor will be included in the floor finish and will ruin the appearance of the finished floor surface.
Why pick up steel shot left on airfields?
For shot blasting airport runways, all the shot has to be picked up or it becomes airfield FOD and a danger to planes.
Why pick up steel shot left on roads?
For shot blasting on done on roads during resurfacing or traction control all the shot has to be picked up or it becomes a safety hazard for drivers.
How to Reduce Your Shot Blasting Costs.
Steel shot is costly and if it is reused after being picked up it can lower the overall costs of shot blasting. A magnetic sweeper can help collect 100% of the left over shot.
Bluestreak has designed magnetic sweeper options with a shorter payback period in mind and to meet the needs of both the small shotblaster as well as a large shotblasting company.

Should you buy the latest technology for picking up shot?
The biggest decision a shot blaster needs to make is whether they do enough shot blasting to warrant the purchase of the latest technology advancement embodied in the “Continuous Discharge” line of magnetic sweepers; the Theta, Fission and Atmos. These sweepers are more costly, but offer huge productivity improvements and in some cases increased quality due to the strength of their magnets and ability to remove shot from cracks and joints.
Continuous Discharge sweepers also offer huge improvements in operator “ease” of operation. They eliminate much of the constant bending over involved in the operation of traditional magnetic sweepers and it makes performing the task of picking up shot so much easier. It’s like comparing cutting wood with a hand saw versus a power saw.
We have compiled the following comparison chart to help with the determination of which shot blasting magnet is right for you.
