U-Shaped Reclaim System

The "U"-shaped partial reclaim system incorporates two longitudinal metered screw assemblies along each side wall of the blast room, with an additional cross screw positioned along the back wall. This configuration allows abrasive delivered from the blasting nozzle, whether blown or rebounded from the workpiece, to strike the side walls and back wall of the blast room, directing it into the reclaim system. The U-shaped reclaim floor design facilitates automatic reclamation of 60-90 percent of the blast media, optimizing efficiency by minimizing wastage and supporting sustainable abrasive recycling practices in industrial blasting operations.

At the end of each work shift, any remaining abrasive on the floor is directed into the metered shed plate screw assemblies. The U-shaped partial reclaim system design is commonly implemented in an "in-out" room configuration, facilitating entry of heavy workpieces and material handling devices. These can be positioned on the steel-covered concrete floor between the longitudinal and cross screw assemblies. This setup is particularly effective for medium to high production environments, optimizing workflow by enabling efficient movement and placement of workpieces within the blast room while ensuring effective abrasive media reclamation and minimizing waste.
