BlastOne Fabricated Metal Parts Finishing Support
Fabricated metal parts can range from brackets and panels to welded frames, enclosures and assemblies that need surface preparation before liquid or powder coating. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services BlastOne blast rooms, abrasive blast booths, media reclaim, powder booths, ovens, exhaust and utility connections for fabricated metal finishing areas.

Part Mix And Fixture Planning
A fabrication shop may run flat panels, formed parts, weldments and small assemblies through the same finishing area. Layout planning should account for rack sizes, cart paths, masking tables, hanging points and space for parts that need different prep or coating steps.
Blast, Paint And Powder Interfaces
BlastOne equipment categories include blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems that may support liquid paint or powder coating processes. Equipment placement should separate dusty preparation from clean application while preserving a clear path for staged parts.
Air, Heat And Electrical Coordination
Booth exhaust, make-up air, powder collection, cure ovens, lighting, controls and compressed air all compete for space around the finishing cell. Early coordination helps place duct runs, utility drops and service panels where they can be installed and maintained.
Flexibility For Future Part Changes
Fabricated metal product mixes change over time. Keeping access around fans, filters, reclaim equipment, doors, ovens and controls makes it easier to adjust racks, handling methods or equipment position without rebuilding the entire finishing area.
Frequently asked questions
What should be ready before a fabricated parts site visit?
Bring part size ranges, rack or cart details, coating process, production flow, utility locations, exhaust preferences and any known space constraints.
Can one area support both liquid and powder coating?
It can be planned that way when airflow, cleaning, cure equipment, staging and part handling are coordinated for the separate processes.
Why is media reclaim important for fabricated parts?
Reclaim equipment can reduce manual cleanup around repetitive blasting, but it needs proper floor layout, service access and connection to dust collection.
What causes installation conflicts in finishing cells?
Common conflicts include crowded overhead utilities, blocked service panels, duct runs through crane space, tight cart paths and electrical drops placed where racks need to move.
