ABS Blast for Military Vehicles and Munitions
Military vehicle structures and empty munition casings can require controlled surface preparation before coating and later assembly steps. ABS Blast equipment for this work can include blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services the mechanical connections around these finishing systems.

Vehicle Structures And Component Access
Vehicle hulls, frames, doors, armor panels and empty casings can require different handling and reach. The finishing layout should account for lift points, carts, stands, masking areas and operator access around recessed surfaces.
Controlled Movement From Blast To Paint
Prepared surfaces should move from blasting through cleaning, inspection and coating without crossing dusty traffic. The layout can separate blast media recovery, blowdown, masking and coating support areas.
Air Systems Near Sensitive Workflows
Exhaust, replacement air, compressed air, lighting and controls should be routed with nearby assembly operations in mind. Fan placement, duct paths and service clearance need to work with building structure and other trades.
- Provide maximum component dimensions and handling method.
- Identify empty casing, vehicle structure or panel workflows.
- Share masking requirements, utility locations and proposed exhaust paths.
Maintenance Planning For Secure Areas
When access to a production area is controlled, maintenance points should be practical to reach. Filters, dust collectors, reclaim equipment, lights, doors, controls and duct cleanouts need clear working space.
Frequently asked questions
What affects blast room planning for military vehicle structures?
Part size, weight, handling method, recessed surfaces, coating sequence, access controls and utility routing all affect planning.
How should empty munition casings be addressed in the layout?
The layout should focus on safe handling of empty components, masking needs, surface access, dust control and clean transfer to coating.
Can existing equipment be serviced in place?
Service options depend on access to fans, filters, doors, lights, controls, ductwork, reclaim equipment and the condition of the system.
What should be ready before a site walk?
General layout drawings, equipment information, workpiece dimensions, handling methods, utility details and photos of the area are useful.
