Abrasive Storage Hopper
The storage hopper is a free standing hopper which is reinforced with structural steel. The hopper positions above the blast tank assemblies to provide easy access to the blast tanks for maintenance. A caged ladder and handrail assembly is standard on all storage hoppers to allow access to the air-wash separator which is positioned on top of the storage hopper.
Air Wash Separator Classifier
The heart of the abrasive reclaim system is ABS Blast Room’s air-wash separator with rotary drum separator. The separator removes contaminants from the abrasive mix, and the air-wash classifies the abrasive to maintain a constant size. This separator can classify all types of dry ferrous and non-ferrous abrasives.
Blast Tank Assemblies
Blast tanks are positioned directly under the abrasive storage hopper and are gravity fed. A covered riser assembly filters the abrasive through a perforated plate screen and contains the abrasive when the tanks exhaust, preventing abrasive leakage that may collect in the area.
Control Panel
We understand the importance of having a great control panel to manage all the precision equipment. Our control panels are state-of-the-art and will help you monitor and manage the functions of all equipment.
Elevator Assembly
The elevator assembly is constructed of mild steel with angle iron reinforcements. Malleable iron buckets bolted to a heavy-duty (1/2” thick) belt convey the abrasive material to the air-wash separator. A one-piece cast iron pulley, which has been crowned for tracking and rubber lagged to prevent slippage, are located in the boot and head section of the elevator to drive the belt. The belt is easily adjusted from the head section to provide exact tracking.
Screws
The reclaim floors utilize a heavy-duty screw to return the abrasive to the separator/classification system. The standard screw is 9” in diameter, which consists of a 5” diameter schedule-40 pipe wrapped with a ¼” thick flighting on a 2/3 pitch.
Metering Shed Plates
Shed plates are added to all partial reclaim floor designs to meter the amount of abrasive being fed into the screw reclaim system. The metering shed plates eliminate overloading of the reclaim floor. The shed plates are easily adjusted for various types of abrasives.
