IST (Kresco) Agricultural Implement Blast Room Installation
Agricultural implement finishing can involve wide frames, hitches, toolbars, guards, tanks, wheels and brackets moving through blast, coating and cure areas. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services blast rooms, abrasive blast booths, media reclaim systems, exhaust ductwork, make-up air and utility connections used around IST (Kresco) equipment for implement finishing operations.

Implement Width And Staging
Farm implements can be wide, uneven and difficult to stage. Bay layout should account for folded and unfolded dimensions, hitch extensions, cart clearance, forklift access and the space needed to turn parts between blast, coating and oven areas.
Prep Before Liquid Or Powder
Abrasive preparation may feed liquid paint booths, powder coating booths or cure ovens. The blast room should be positioned so clean parts can move forward to masking, hanging or coating without crossing areas where spent media and dust are handled.
Recovery Floor And Cleanup
Media reclaim equipment must suit where operators are working and where spent abrasive falls from frames, brackets and cavities. Good access to the separator, recovery drives and media loading points helps maintenance crews keep the room ready during seasonal production swings.
Air, Exhaust And Heat Coordination
When blasting, coating and curing share a bay, exhaust and replacement air should be evaluated as a system. Make-up air, booth exhaust, oven heat and building pressure all influence finish quality, worker comfort and dust movement.
Frequently asked questions
What implement measurements are useful for planning?
Useful measurements include maximum width, length, height, folded dimensions, hanging points, cart height and any fixtures used to rotate or support parts.
How should blast and powder areas be arranged?
Blasting should stay upstream of cleaning, masking, powder application and cure areas so dust and spent media do not move into clean coating work.
What service access is important around reclaim equipment?
Access is needed for drives, bearings, separator adjustments, media loading, screens, floor components and cleanup routes near the reclaim system.
Can a blast room support mixed implement parts?
Yes, but the layout should reflect the widest and tallest parts, the smallest components that need fixtures and the expected changeover pattern.
What utilities should be identified before installation?
Identify compressed air, electrical service, control wiring paths, exhaust discharge routes, make-up air locations and gas service if nearby heated equipment is involved.
