Designed for production blast
facility applications to reclaim abrasive. Mechanical
recovery systems convey media quickly with little wear on reclaim components
unlike vacuum recovery systems. Harsh media such as aluminum oxide or
silicon carbide create wear on traditional vacuum recovery quickly, due to the
high vacuum velocity in which media travels. Components
of the mechanical recovery system include: recovery hopper inlet with
perforated trash screen, bucket elevator to convey media, rotary drum
separator to remove trash and separate media, air wash to remove fines from
re-using media, and a storage hopper for reclaimed abrasive. Mechanical
recovery system can be mounted either above ground or recessed in a pit floor
design to sweep material to inlet hopper. By using recycling type
abrasive, disposal costs are reduced, expense for purchase of expendable
abrasive are eliminated, visibility during blasting will increase, and airborne
dust within the blasting operation will be minimized.
