Single Screw Partial Reclaim System


A single screw partial reclaim system is the most economical floor design available. This is a basic "automatic" reclaim package that can be expanded to an "H", "U", or full floor reclaim system. It is best suited for low to medium productive levels.

"H" Shaped Partial Reclaim System
The "H"-shaped partial reclaim system adds two longitudinal metered screw assemblies along each side wall of the blast room. The position of the screw assemblies allows the abrasive delivered from the blasting nozzle, which is either blown or rebounded off the work piece, to strike the side walls and fall into the screws, automatically reclaiming approximately 60-90 percent of the blast media. The remaining abrasive on the floor is pushed into the metered shed plate screw assemblies and at the end of the work shift. The "H"-shaped floor design is typically utilized in a "flow-through" room configuration where heavy work pieces and/or material handling devices can drive into the room and position the work piece on the steel covered concrete floor located between the longitudinal screws. This system is best suited for medium to high production.


"U" Shaped Partial Reclaim System
The "U"-shaped partial reclaim system adds two longitudinal metered screw assemblies along each side wall of the blast room and positions the cross screw along the back wall of the blast room. The position of the screw assemblies allows the abrasive delivered from the blasting nozzle, which is either blown or rebounded off the work piece, to strike the side walls and back wall of the blast room and fall into the reclaim system. A "U"-shaped floor design will automatically reclaim 60 to 90 percent of the blast media. The remaining abrasive on the floor is pushed into the metered shed plate screw assemblies at the end of the work shift. The "U"-shaped floor design is typically utilized in an "in-out" room configuration where heavy work pieces and/or material handling devices can drive into the room and position the work piece on a steel covered concrete floor located between the longitudinal and cross screw assemblies. The system is best suited for medium to high production.



Full Floor Reclaim System
The full floor reclaim system utilizes multiple screw assemblies to create a fully automatic abrasive reclaim system, where 100% of the blast media is returned to the separator system during the blasting operation. The full floor reclaim design requires that the material handling of the work piece be intricately designed into the configuration of the room. Material handling of the work piece includes a work car/track system, an overhead monorail crane, an overhead bridge crane, or heavy-duty floor grating and support steel sized to allow a forklift to drive onto the reclaim floor. The full floor reclaim design can be used with any room configuration. This system is best suited for high production requirements.
