IST (Kresco) Sandblast Booth Installation
IST (Kresco) blast booth equipment supports abrasive cleaning for metal fabrication, equipment repair and surface preparation work. Installation planning should account for part size, blast hose movement, media handling, dust collection, compressed air, operator entry, lighting, ventilation and the path heavy work takes before it moves to coating or assembly.

Blast Workflow and Room Position
Double D Mechanical reviews how parts enter the booth, how operators reach surfaces and where blasted work moves next. The room should be positioned so forklifts, carts, cranes or racks can move work without crowding doors, reclaim equipment or dust collector access.
- Confirm part dimensions with stands, racks or handling equipment included.
- Review door approach, hose movement and operator entry points.
- Keep access open to lighting, reclaim sections and collector service points.
Media Recovery and Floor Interfaces
Blast booth installation may involve recovery floors, hoppers, screw conveyors, elevators or pneumatic media movement. The floor interface should be planned with slab conditions, anchoring, pit needs and cleaning access in mind.
Dust Collector and Air Supply
Dust collection and compressed air are central to blast performance. Collector placement, duct connections, exhaust discharge, air piping and dryer location should be coordinated so operators have stable blast air and maintenance staff can service the system.
Site Data for Installation Planning
Useful information includes booth drawings, part sizes, blast media type, air compressor capacity, ceiling height, floor condition, rigging path, roof or wall route and photos of the proposed booth and collector locations.
Frequently asked questions
What is important when locating a sandblast booth?
Part handling, door approach, blast hose movement, media recovery, dust collector access, compressed air routing and downstream production flow all matter.
Can installation include media reclaim equipment?
Yes. Recovery floors, hoppers and media movement equipment are commonly reviewed with the booth layout and floor conditions.
Why is compressed air planning so important?
Blast equipment depends on adequate air volume and quality, and the piping route affects pressure drop, dryer placement and operator usability.
What should be ready before a site visit?
Have equipment drawings, part sizes, media information, compressor details, floor information, ceiling height and photos of the booth area.
