Media Reclaim Systems for Shipbuilding and Marine
Shipbuilding and marine facilities may blast large sections, structural parts, equipment skids and vessel components that produce heavy abrasive loads. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services media reclaim systems with attention to recovery layout, conveying equipment, dust collection, utility routes and maintenance access.
Discuss your installationRecovery for Large Marine Parts
Marine components can be long, heavy and uneven, so reclaim points should match actual blast patterns and handling methods. Floor recovery, sweep-in hoppers and collection points need to support crane, cart or forklift movement around the work.
Conveyors, Elevators and Separators
Reclaim systems move abrasive through mechanical equipment before it returns to the blast process. Placement of conveyors, bucket elevators, air wash separators and storage hoppers affects ceiling clearance, access platforms and service routes.
Dust Control Near Blast Operations
Separator vents, transfer points and reclaim equipment should be coordinated with dust collection for the blast room or booth. Good routing helps reduce cleanup burdens and keeps mechanical equipment working in a harsh environment.
Access in Complex Buildings
Marine shops can include overhead cranes, large doors, mezzanines and shared fabrication areas. Reclaim equipment should be located where inspection, belt service, screen cleaning and hopper work remain practical.
Readiness for Layout Review
Bring part dimensions, handling method, blast area drawings, floor conditions, ceiling height, crane limits, dust collector location, electrical service and abrasive storage or disposal practices.
Frequently asked questions
What does the reclaim system return to the blast process?
After separation, usable abrasive can be returned to storage or the blast equipment while dust and debris are removed from the stream.
Why are handling paths important in marine work?
Large parts and crane movement can conflict with hoppers, conveyors and service platforms if those items are not placed carefully.
Can reclaim equipment be relocated with a blast room?
Yes, if the receiving area has the needed clearances, floor support, electrical service, dust collection paths and access for installation.
What service points need space?
Conveyors, elevators, separators, screens, hoppers, bearings, motors, cleanouts and duct connections all need working clearance.
