Abrasive Blasting

Things to Consider

Is my dust explosive?

Determining dust loading is crucial in selecting a properly sized dust collector. The quantity of filters in the dust collector is important for efficiency standards, filter life, maintenance needed, and foot print of dust collector.

What blast media in my operation?

The majority of all dust collected in a blasting operation is going to be dust from the media used. Determining all characteristics of the media is important to design of the dust collector and if we need to take additional steps to limit fires, explosions or corrosion.

How are we going to collect the dust?

The direct duct connections to your blast equipment or hood designs mounted over the equipment will determine how efficient the dust collection process is. Considering factors of duct abrasion, inlet type for your dust collector, duct sizes, and dust loading will all impact the engineering process.
