Modular Style Blast Room With Fixed Point Vacuum Grit Recovery

Our Clients Requirements
Our Client is leading supplier of rigs to the concrete slip forming industry. After completion of such a project, the rigs are returned to them typically corroded and coated in concrete. Before being sent out again, the rigs were blasted and painted externally on a sub-contract basis. Due to quality issues, our customer decided to bring this work in-house.

Key Decision Making Factors
Location of Proposed unit	Inside existing factory
Units Working Hours per Day	Initially low but expected to rise over the units life
Internal Dimensions	7mt long, 4mt wide & 3mt high
Grit Recovery	Vaculift (twin)
Dust Extraction	Reverse Jet

Our Solution
As the customer envisaged a upturn in the hours he would spend blasting a modular room was suggested that could, at a later date, be up-graded to a full recovery floor with little effort.

Two blast machines were incorporated to cope with the initial up-turn. Within one year, working hours were such that a recovery floor was required. The recovery floor has the potential to double production by eliminating sweep up operations. The room was converted to a full recovery floor in 3 days and within 3 weeks from reciept of purchase order.

Besides the blast room featured, the customer also purchased from Airblast a 600cfm Ingersol Rand compressor package and a 7mt long wet back spray booth.
