Titan Abrasive Fabricated Metal Parts Blast Systems
Fabricated metal parts range from brackets and frames to cabinets, guards and welded assemblies. Titan Abrasive blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems need to match part mix, fixture style, coating route and the plant utilities that support daily finishing.

Part Mix And Fixture Strategy
A finishing area for fabricated parts should be planned around the real mix of sizes, weights and surfaces. Racks, carts, hooks and tables affect booth opening size, operator reach, floor wear and how quickly parts can move between blasting, blowdown and coating.
Preparation Flow Into Paint Or Powder
Blasting should feed the coating process in a predictable order. Space for masking, cleaning, inspection and staging helps operators avoid crossing dirty and clean paths, especially when liquid paint and powder coating both use the same preparation area.
Reclaim, Exhaust And Floor Details
Media recovery, dust collection and floor layout influence cleanup labor and uptime. Reclaim equipment should be placed where operators can maintain it, while exhaust ductwork and make-up air should be coordinated with nearby booths, ovens and plant ventilation.
Information Needed For Layout Review
A useful site review starts with part dimensions, fixture drawings, desired production sequence, available compressed air, electrical service, ceiling height and possible exhaust paths. Photos of current congestion, door openings and utility corridors also help identify installation constraints.
- List the largest and smallest common parts.
- Show where masking and inspection happen today.
- Identify utilities that must remain active during installation work.
Frequently asked questions
How do varied part sizes affect blast booth planning?
The largest parts set the clearance requirement, while small repeated parts affect rack density, airflow and loading rhythm. Both should be considered before selecting a footprint.
What helps keep blasting dust away from coating?
Physical separation, clear part flow, controlled exhaust and adequate replacement air help keep preparation dust from reaching paint or powder operations.
Is media reclaim always part of the layout?
It depends on production volume, media use and housekeeping goals. When reclaim is included, it affects floor design, service access and equipment placement.
What trades are usually coordinated?
Mechanical, electrical, controls, compressed air, fire protection and building trades may all be involved, depending on the booth, collector, oven and exhaust scope.
What should be reviewed before relocating equipment?
Review panel condition, controls, ductwork, collector components, utility disconnects, anchoring, rigging route and the new location's airflow and service clearance.
