Fox Tank Company Installs New Titan Blast Room at Coshocton Facility
New system increases production capacity, enhances finish quality, and sets the stage for additional Titan Abrasive installations.
IVYLAND, PA (December 10, 2025) – Titan Abrasive Systems, a premier designer and manufacturer of quality surface preparation, surface finishing, and abrasive blasting equipment, announces that Fox Tank Company has purchased and installed a new Titan blast room at its Coshocton, Ohio facility.
The investment marks the first Titan blast room for Fox Tank, a leading manufacturer of tanks, high-pressure vessels, and modular equipment packages for the oil and gas industry, and represents a significant upgrade in production capability, consistency, and surface-prep quality.
The new 16′ x 16′ x 50′ Titan blast room, purchased in late August and recently brought online, replaces an older, makeshift blasting setup that had reached production capacity. With the recent consolidation of its three Texas locations into the recently expanded Kerrville Facility, along with the Coshocton plant, Fox Tank sought an industrial-grade blasting system that could deliver higher throughput, longer-lasting components, and a more consistent blast profile to meet increasingly stringent customer and industry specifications.
According to Chip Rogers, president of Fox Tank Company, the decision to move to Titan was driven heavily by the company’s need for a highly efficient and durable reclaim system, one of the most critical components of any blast room, especially when using steel grit.
“Most blast equipment wears quickly because the abrasive has to move through corners and transitions during the reclaim cycle,” explained Rogers. “Steel grit can be reused many times, but every pass puts stress on the system’s internal components. Titan’s reclaim system stood out as the most robust and best engineered we reviewed. We expect it to require far less preventive maintenance and result in significantly lower operating costs over time.”
While Fox Tank has used other blast systems in the past, this installation is its first designed specifically for steel grit media, which can be reclaimed as much as 100-200 times, far more than abrasives like glass or coal slag designed for one-time use. This shift not only reduces long-term media costs but also supports more precise blasting results.
Fox Tank manufactures products built to strict industry standards, including ASME requirements and a wide range of oil-company-specific coating and surface preparation specifications. Achieving the correct blast profile is essential for ensuring that exterior and interior coatings properly adhere and perform over the long term.
“We’re extremely precise in our surface preparation,” Rogers stated. “We use instrumentation that verifies whether the blast profile meets the specification. The consistency of the Titan blast room means we can reach that required profile more quickly and more reliably on the first pass.”
The new Titan room is already streamlining Fox Tank’s integrated production flow: components are blasted, then immediately moved into the adjoining paint booth, and finally sent to the customer’s production line. Faster, more consistent blasting means reduced cycle time, improved coating performance, and better product quality.
The Coshocton installation is only the beginning. Fox Tank plans to purchase two additional, larger Titan blast rooms (each approximately 20′ x 20′ x 50′) as the company continues production expansion in both Ohio and Texas.
“With our growth and consolidation of facilities, we need blast rooms that can keep pace with demand,” said Rogers. “The Titan room has already demonstrated the quality and efficiency we were looking for, and we’re planning for even bigger systems to support our future throughput.”
