Many fabricating plants have a designated spot for sandblasting, because the process requires complex infrastructure for dealing with fumes, smoke, and more. Keeping the dust collection system in good shape is critical for safe sandblasting. You should carefully consider the blasting media that you use, because it will release different particles depending on the surface. You should also make sure that everything in your system is oriented properly. Here is a case study of a well-organized system to study.
Key Takeaways:
- When sand blasting it’s important to consider the media used as well as the filter for the particles.
- Usually Sand Blasting setups will use a cellulose and polyester fibers slab so it can withstand the strength of the blasting.
- In some more professional setups it can be advised to install a 6000 CFM cartridge dust collector to make sure that proper exhaustion occurs for a safe and clean work environemnt.
“A vertical orientation is optimal to ensure that when collected dust is pulsed from the cartridges, it falls to the bottom of the collector and can be removed or recovered.”
