Default Blower/filter on a sandblaster

I have a 48" sandblast cabinet that I only recently put to use (long
story).

This cabinet has a blower and a filter bag.

It is full of fairly fine sandblasting sand.

My question is, if I run the blower while sandblasting, will that
blower pick up only dirt (such as blown away rust, paint etc), or will
I also experience loss of sand itself?

Does that blower pick up sand?

thanks

The Guyson blasting cabinet I use has a extractor fan to suck out dust
and does pick up some grit but there is a flap on the outlet vent which
control the strength of the suction to prevent to muck grit being taken
out, does yours have any way of controlling the flow.
