ARMY DEPOT: TOBYHANNA, PA
HIGH TECH AND GREEN BLAST ROOM FACILITY

ABS Blast has just completed one of the army’s newest and most advanced blast and paint facilities in the country. In addition to the technology used in the completion of the project, this was also a LEED Program Project.

ABS Blast used 85% recycled steel in the construction of the blast room structure, as well as a heat recovery system to return heated air to a heat exchanger that was utilized to heat the main blast and paint building.

The blast room was constructed of double sided panels with noise dampening material “sandwiched” between the heavy gauge steel sheets. The result is a blast room operation that is whisper quiet.

The blast room operators can move around the parts via two (2) telescoping gantry manlifts allowing five axis travel to access all areas of the part without having to get out of the work platform. This reduces both worker fatigue and risk of injury due to re-positioning of ladders, scaffolding, etc.

The room includes a 2-ton bridge crane with remote control operation and a heavy-duty floor system rated at 48,000 lbs. per sq. ft. Parts can be driven into the room or brought in by heavy-duty forklifts. Various parts can be lifted with the crane to access areas that need to be blasted.

ABS Blast leads the industry in innovation and design. Let use help you design the blast facility that best meets your needs.

Abrasive Blast Systems will be at FABTECH to Demonstrate our Blast Room Technology Abrasive Blast Systems will be in Chicago next week for FABTECH, the biggest annual event for blast room technology. This year, FABTECH will be held at the McCormick Place November 14th to November 17th. The event will bring in over 30,000 visitors from all over the world who are interested in blast rooms and abrasive blast equipment. FABTECH is the premier event for metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing, as well as blast rooms and blasting equipment. FABTECH gives attendees all the information they need to improve their blast rooms, along with many other tools to increase their business potential. While in Chicago, we will demonstrate how we design and provide the best blast room solutions in the industry. We have completed over 200 abrasive blast room projects in the United States and abroad. Our blast rooms are used in many industries including automotive, construction, military, petrochemical and more. These industries use our blast rooms as part of their construction, renovation or repair processes. Abrasive Blast Systems will show FABTECH attendees the technology behind our well designed blast rooms, as well as our blasting equipment. Our blast rooms are a clean and efficient way to control abrasive recycling. We will also demonstrate how our blast rooms begin with a simple understanding on the size of the items that need an abrasive blast, and how our blast rooms include the highest quality features and construction. If your company is in the market for a blast room or you are in the Chicago area, stop by FABTECH. We will be located in Booth 4041 providing all the attendees with valuable information about our blast rooms and blasting equipment. If you cannot make it to FABTECH, make sure you visit our website for more information on our blast rooms. We hope to see you there.
