| Walk-In Multimedia Blasting Booth |
Equipment Description
A
stationary blast booth and adjoining equipment shelter capable of fully
enclosing 18 foot long antennae sections, radomes, and multiple life raft
canisters for paint coating removal operations. The blast mechanism is compatible
with various types of blasting media.
The walk-in blasting system is designed for use with both sodium bicarbonate and plastic blasting media to remove paint from laminated and composite surfaces. Use of sodium bicarbonate or plastic as a blasting media minimizes the potential for damage to structure substrates, expedites the stripping process, and significantly reduces waste stream volume.
Environmental benefits result from the use of sodium bicarbonate as a blast media, especially in the reduction of waste stream volume. Because the sodium bicarbonate will dissolve into solution, the coating fines can be removed from the solution via filtration. Presently, the sodium bicarbonate in solution can go into sanitary sewers. Environmental benefits for plastic media are achieved via media reclamation. The blast media is easily separated from the coatings removed in the blast process. PMB fines and paint fines are removed from the recyclable plastic media with the high-efficiency reclaim system, which substantially separates all paint dust and media fines from recyclable media. Because a large percentage of the media is recyclable, the replenishment costs are minimized, as well as those associated with the waste stream volume.
Benefits of Use
Provides state-of-the-art multimedia blasting booth for removal of paint coatings from fiberglass structures while efficiently collecting removed materials. Provides enclosure to remove paint coatings from 18 ft. long antennae sections and other such sized equipment. Provides for environmentally safe collection and subsequent disposal of all removed paint particles. Provides a safe operating environment for operator personnel. Reduces time required to perform select operations.
