Blast cleaning
March 1st 2006

A small Airblast modular blast room has provided agricultural wheel and tyre supplier, D&S Factors with a self-contained blast cleaning facility for preparing tractor wheels.

As part of a restructuring of manufacturing a great deal of thought was given to the installation of a new surface preparation facility.

Space in the factory was tight and with the largest wheel being 54" diameter - a large hand blast cabinet was considered but discounted.

Engineers from Airblast therefore recommended a 3m long x 2.6m wide x 2.6m high, modular blast room.

Said Airblast's MD Jon Cook: "We have developed this range of blast rooms in response to customer demands for more versatile and less costly rooms. By manufacturing them as separate modules, which can be connected in a number of configurations, not only have we been able to reduce costs and maximise flexibility, they can also be commissioned quickly and easily on site."
