Attention Stripco Owner/Operators!
Soda Blast units purchased from the company StripCo (aka CHC International) in Dallas, Texas between the dates February 20, 2005 and April 23, 2007 or later, have been illegally altered! The pots in question were fabricated by US Metals, located in Sandy, Oregon and developed and manufactured under U.S patent # 7134945 for THE SODA WORKS of Walla Walla, Washington, Joe Alexander, President. Please be advised that StripCo apparently removed a portion of the federal certification plate containing inspection, certification, builder and patent holder information. Photographs of illegally modified pots have been displayed on the StripCo website and in other advertising.
Use of one of these pots missing a federal inspection plate is not advised.
Any failures are the responsibility of the user and StripCo.
To the left is a photo of Soda Works blast pot with altered federal build and inspection plate. Note: it is missing bottom half of plate.
