A self-contained Hodge Clemco blast
room with high-performance sound
insulation and abrasive recovery
system has expanded the in-house
production capabilities of Cheshire
Anilox Technology, a leading
manufacturer of high-quality rollers
for printing presses.

The blast room enables Cheshire
Anilox to prepare the rollers for
surface coating in the factory. The
chamber measures 4.5m long x 2.5m
wide x 2.5m high and has double
access doors at one end to allow large
components to be moved in and out
easily. Double-skinned panels with
an acoustic lining have been used for
the construction, which greatly
reduces the noise that can be heard
outside the chamber when blasting is
taking place.
