Blast rooms are available in many sizes and configurations.
In general, a blast room consists of an enclosure, control panel, pressure vessel, blast equipment (nozzle, couplings, hose, safety controls), media reclaimer, pressure blower for media recovery, dust collector for abrasive recovery, media conveying duct, media recovery hopper, media storage hopper and blast booth ventilation. Operator safety equipment is also required for blast operation.
Prefabricated / Pre-Engineered / Pre-Designed
Pre-engineered and prefabricated blast rooms offer quick delivery turnaround and cost savings. Pre-made blast rooms are typically available in 8-ft to 15-ft widths with 8, 10 or 12 foot ceiling heights and lengths as long as 31.5 feet. Blast booth enclosures can be equipped with mechanical (typically used for heavier media) or pneumatic recovery hoppers (best suited for lighter weight abrasives.) Some predesigned systems can be purchased as a package that may include a drain, hose, piping, nozzles and/or some accessories.
