Extraction and Collection for Blasting Processes
Blasting processes, including non-abrasive blasting, surface refinement, and shot peening, release various types of dust such as metal, aluminum, magnesium, and plastic particles. These dusts result from physical abrasion and must be reliably extracted and captured to meet both process-specific requirements and compliance with industrial and environmental regulations.
The combination of blasting media and blasting agents often produces complex dust mixtures.
Designing an effective extraction system requires careful consideration of several factors: the properties of the dust, applicable laws and standards, and the specific needs of the customer. Key variables include the volume of dust generated, whether the dust is combustible, explosive, harmful, organic or mineral-based, and whether it is dry or oily. The configuration of the blasting equipment itself also plays a critical role.
Additionally, it’s important to determine whether the handling and transport of blasting media will affect the extraction process.
Suitable Solutions for Every Blasting Process
Both dust collectors and wet separators can be used to extract and collect dust from blasting operations. Keller’s broad product portfolio and technical expertise make it possible to select the ideal solution that balances performance, investment cost, and ongoing operating expenses.
Because every application is different, dust extraction systems must be tailored to the specific process, installation environment, and external conditions. This often results in multiple viable design options, which may include the integration of pre-separators or additional fire and explosion protection components.
