BlastOne media reclaim system installation and relocation
BlastOne media reclaim systems help move abrasive from the blast area back toward separation, storage and reuse. Double D Mechanical plans installation, relocation and service around floor recovery, pneumatic or mechanical conveyance, separators, dust collection, controls, access panels and the blast room or booth layout served by the system.

Recovery Path From The Floor
The reclaim layout starts where abrasive lands. Floor grating, hoppers, trenches, screw conveyors, sweeps or pickup points must align with part loading, operator movement and cleaning methods so spent media does not pile up in hard-to-reach areas.
Separation And Dust Interface
Reusable abrasive has to be separated from fines, dust and debris before it returns to the blast process. Separator placement, collector ducting, discharge access and waste handling should be planned as one system instead of isolated components.
Routing Around Existing Equipment
Retrofit work often has to pass under grating, around columns, near doors or alongside a blast room wall. The route should preserve access for loading equipment while allowing mechanics to reach bearings, valves, access covers, screens and wear parts.
Controls And Service Readiness
Electrical feeds, sensors, starters, control panels and interlocks should be coordinated with the blast equipment and dust collection. Before a site visit, gather drawings, photos, floor elevations and notes on where abrasive currently accumulates.
- Confirm the booth or room served by the reclaim system.
- Document floor conditions before adding trenches or pickup points.
- Leave service room at separators, valves, conveyors and cleanout doors.
Frequently asked questions
What does a media reclaim system connect to?
It commonly connects the blast floor or pickup area to separators, storage, dust collection and the abrasive feed equipment.
Can reclaim equipment be added to an existing blast area?
Often yes, but floor conditions, access, loading paths, collector capacity and available equipment space must be reviewed.
Why does separator access matter?
Screens, valves, wear liners and cleanout points need routine attention. Tight access can make service slower and messier.
What should be ready for a relocation review?
Photos, drawings, equipment tags, floor dimensions, utility locations and notes on current media handling problems are useful.
