Blast Room Applications

Blasting is often the recommended means of removing surface contaminants. Air blasting could be the solution. Depending on the complexity of the work-piece, production rates, and the rust, scale or other contamination type.
Contact SurfacePrep today for assistance with determining the best process for removing rust, scale, or other surface contaminants from your products.

Anchor pattern or etch pattern creation is accomplished in a blasting process with a sharp media.
Contact SurfacePrep today for assistance with developing a process that produces the anchor pattern requirements recommended for your coatings.

Abrasive blasting cabinets provide a controlled environment for achieving uniform surface textures on metal, plastic, or composite parts. This process enhances adhesion for coatings and improves the overall appearance and performance of finished components.

Used in manufacturing and restoration, abrasive blasting removes surface imperfections and prepares parts for painting, bonding, or further processing. It ensures consistent finishes across batches, critical for quality control.

Contact us today to speak to a specialist about your specific application.

Blasting cabinets efficiently strip away old paint, rust, and other coatings without damaging the underlying material. This makes them ideal for refurbishing parts or preparing surfaces for recoating.

Blast Room Media Recovery Systems

Designed for heavy abrasives such as steel grit and coarse mesh media.

A full-area recovery solution that operates with minimal excavation. Abrasive is moved through floor channels using vanes that push the media forward in a controlled motion. This system is efficient and well-suited for facilities requiring broad recovery coverage.

Utilizes augers to move abrasive from floor trenches to the cleaning system. Available in both full-area and partial-area configurations, screw conveyors are a reliable choice for dense media and are often preferred for their straightforward operation.

A cost-effective option for smaller rooms. Recessed hoppers are flush with the floor and collect manually swept abrasive. Wall-mounted hoppers eliminate the need for excavation and are ideal for surface-mounted systems. These systems are simple and practical for low-volume operations.

Contact us today to speak to a specialist about your specific application.

Optimized for lightweight abrasives such as plastic, soda, glass bead, and fine aluminum oxide.

Air-Powdered Hopper System: Lightweight media and dust fall into funnel-shaped hoppers beneath the floor grating. A high-velocity air stream evacuates each hopper in sequence, transporting the contents to a cyclone-style separator for cleaning. These systems are available in full-area or partial-area configurations and are powered by the facility’s dust collection system. They are easy to operate and maintain, with no moving parts in the floor. Lightweight media and dust fall into funnel-shaped hoppers beneath the floor grating.

Recovery systems are paired with media cleaning units to separate reusable abrasive from dust and debris:

Mechanical Cleaners use gravity and airflow to clean heavy media. Debris is removed via scalping drums and air wash baffles.

Cyclone Separators are used for lightweight media, spinning heavier particles outward while extracting dust through a central exhaust stream.
