IST (Kresco) for Heavy Equipment Agriculture
Heavy equipment and agricultural finishing often starts with abrasive blasting of frames, arms, brackets, guards and welded assemblies. IST (Kresco) blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems should be planned around part handling, dust collection, reclaim access, compressed air, lighting, exhaust and service clearances.

Frame And Component Entry
Large weldments need clear openings, durable staging and enough maneuvering room for forklifts, carts, stands or hoists. The enclosure layout should account for the part, its fixture and the operator space needed around it.
Dust Collection For Abrasive Prep
Blast dust control depends on collector sizing, duct routing, room sealing and replacement air. Collector placement should support filter service and keep discharge or duct runs from interfering with cranes, aisles or adjacent coating work.
Reclaim System Layout
Media reclaim equipment should fit the way operators load parts, sweep or recover abrasive and remove debris. Access to hoppers, augers, separators and wear points should remain clear after the room is installed.
Compressed Air And Lighting Needs
Blast nozzles require reliable compressed air, and operators need protected lighting with service access. Air drops, controls and light locations should be coordinated before wall panels, duct and reclaim equipment are fixed in place.
Frequently asked questions
What part details matter for an agriculture blast room?
Provide maximum part dimensions, fixture size, weight handling method, entry direction and the space operators need around the part.
Why is reclaim access important?
Reclaim equipment needs routine cleaning, inspection and wear-part replacement, so buried hoppers or separators can make maintenance harder.
What utilities should be reviewed before installation?
Compressed air, electrical service, lighting, controls, dust collector power and any existing exhaust or make-up air paths should be checked.
What should be documented before relocating blast equipment?
Record room dimensions, panel layout, collector location, ductwork, reclaim components, controls, air piping, anchors and building access limits.
