Giant blast-room
02 December 2013
A self-contained blast-room with an internal volume approaching 2000m³ and a high-capacity media recycling system has been completed by Hodge Clemco for one of the UK’s leading industrial painting contractors.
The blast-room is part of a £1.5 million investment by the Jack Tighe Group at its Scunthorpe premises and enables it to considerably increase the size and weight of structures and components that can be processed there.
The walls and roof of the room are constructed from prefabricated mild steel panels that are covered with full-height rubber curtains. The concrete floor of the building is protected with steel plate.
Abrasive is recovered by means of a sweep-in hopper, a bucket elevator and a cleaner/separator that delivers clean graded material to a 10-tonne-capacity hopper designed to feed up to four blast machines.
