Unique Blastroom Booth Engineering & Design Considerations

Optimizing your abrasive recovery and recycling in your new blast booth is very important. Understanding your choices for abrasive recycling is one of the most important discussions you can have when buying a new blast booth.

Abrasive Recovery Design Options

There are 5 main styles of abrasive recovery and recycling options typically used, each have a slightly different application, but basically the choices come down to how much blasting your will be doing per week.

If you are only blasting occasionally, a system which you shovel in the abrasive is a good option, when you start working 30hours + or having multiple blasters, you will be looking for a full floor recovery or partial recovery, to ensure you don’t have to spend time worrying about recycling the abrasive.

Sandblasting Booth Dust Collection and Airflow Design Options

Visibility and Productivity Enhancer

Its important to size your Dust Collector correctly; its makes a large impact on how well the blasters can see. The better you remove the dust from the blasters line of site, the more productive they will be. Many facility managers and companies believe that the size of the dust collector is the only thing that matters, don’t be fooled, the management of the airflow is very important as well. Sizing, design and placement of the Air intake plenums, exhaust plenums and ductwork is very important, an incorrectly designed system can halve your effective visibility.

Safety, Health and Environmental Considerations

There is growing concern around airborne dust being a hazard to the workers. If you are using a dusty abrasive, removing rust or heavy coatings you will be creating a lot of dust in your blastroom. Getting the dust collection right means the blaster can move safely around the blastroom, and the dust doesn’t escape into the rest of your facility. Dust Collection system are designed to create a negative air environment in your blastroom to ensure that the nuisance dust is contained and doesn’t spread.
