Every blast room lives or dies by one question: how does the abrasive get back to the pot? The recovery system is the single biggest driver of a blast room’s cost, its floor construction, and how many productive blasting hours you get per shift. Here’s how...

When you blast the same part hundreds or thousands of times, hand-blasting in a cabinet stops making sense. Automated abrasive blasting systems move parts through the blast stream on turntables, conveyors, tumble belts, or robotic arms — delivering a repeatable...
