Hodge Clemco has installed
a self-contained blast room
with high-performance
sound insulation, abrasive
recovery and dust extraction
systems for Bodycote Surface
Technology in Lancashire.

It has been sited within
one of the main factory
buildings and measures 5m
long by 3.6m wide by 2.5m
high. Double access doors at
one end allow for large
components.

The booth’s modular
double-skinned panels have
an acoustic lining, which
reduces source noise by
30dB(A). Doors are interlocked
to prevent entry while
blasting is in progress, and
walls are lined with rubber
curtains to reduce abrasion.

Air inlet ducts and exhaust
air outlets are positioned to
ensure cross-draught
ventilation to provide good
visibility for operators.
