ABS Blast media reclaim system installation and service
ABS Blast media reclaim systems help recover abrasive from the blast area and return usable media to the process. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services reclaim equipment with attention to recovery floor layout, conveying paths, separator access, dust collection connections, controls and maintenance clearances.

Abrasive Collection At The Floor
The recovery layout should follow the actual blast pattern in the room. Floor sections, grating, hoppers and sweep-in points should be placed where media gathers while preserving safe movement for operators and part handling equipment.
Mechanical Paths And Cleanouts
Conveyors, augers, elevators or pneumatic recovery lines need clean routing from collection points to separation equipment. Guards, access covers, cleanouts and bearing locations should remain reachable after the room is assembled.
Separation Before Reuse
Reusable abrasive must be separated from dust, broken media and debris before it returns to the pressure pot. Separator placement should allow inspection, screen service, dust connection checks and abrasive loading without interrupting booth entry.
Controls And Interlocks
Motors, sensors and controls should be coordinated with the blast equipment and dust collector so operators can start, stop and troubleshoot the system from practical locations. Electrical routing should avoid grating removal paths and service panels.
Frequently asked questions
Why add media reclaim to a blast room?
Reclaim can reduce manual cleanup and help keep usable abrasive moving back to the blast equipment.
What affects reclaim system layout?
Room size, abrasive type, blast pattern, floor construction, collector location, separator placement and part handling all affect layout.
Can reclaim equipment be relocated with a blast room?
Yes, if the new location can support the floor recovery, conveying route, dust connection, utilities and service clearance.
What maintenance access should be protected?
Access to grating, hoppers, conveyors, bearings, motors, screens, separators, dust connections and controls should stay open.
What problems point to reclaim service?
Slow recovery, plugged screens, noisy conveyors, excessive dust, contaminated abrasive or poor media flow back to the pot can indicate service needs.
