Similar to our previous video inside a tank, if this duct is operating a suction vacuum, it’s merely pulling from the fresh incoming air. Generally, if ducting is actually used, it is placed at the front opening of the container.
You want the airflow to pass directly past the blaster and ventilate from the doors of the container, out the back. So get the equipment right, and you will be streets ahead of your competitors. Often material handling is one of the most expensive parts of a project. If a poorly set up area results in you having to do rework, you will loose a lot of time and money just doing material handling work. It is also a safety hazard if the blaster cannot see what he’s trying to do. If a blaster can not see what they are doing, then you will have very poor work quality and often need to redo work. There are a few important factors to consider 1.
Note 2: This is strictly touching on a blasting area, talk to us if you need a painting set up, a painting area has to be explosion-proof and requires some other considerations We can help you with that, but it typically involves a discussion to get your needs met. Note 1: This set up is not a blasting area that allows you to recycle your abrasive, if that is your aim, you will benefit from a proper blastroom.
