When you need to blast-clean large irregular sized items in an environmentally sound and safe manner, you need a J Reid Engineering blast room.
Well designed and equipped blast rooms, can prove to be a very productive facility and a valuable asset to your business.
Our common sense approach to designing a blast room begins with understanding the size of the items that will be blasted. The blast room should be large enough to accommodate the largest work piece and provide ample room for the blasters to work safely.
A blast cleaning room is used to safely contain both the work piece and the operator. The abrasive is contained within the room and can be recovered and recycled, offering significant cost savings compared with expendable abrasives.
Various types of abrasive recovery systems can be incorporated into the room design, allowing the used abrasive to be collected, condition and then returned to the blast pot for re-use.
A correctly sized dust extractor and ductwork not only provides ventilation for the blast room but also offers a safe working environment for the operator, by providing good visibility.
Equipment used in our own blast room systems can be purchased separately and added onto existing blast rooms increasing productivity and lower running costs.

Blast rooms comprise of the following sub–systems:
J Reid Engineering can offer a variety of recovery floor, designed to meet customer’s requirements.
Our basic economical design, available in various sizes.
Utilising a cross screw conveyor to feed the elevator system reduces operator input.
The introduction of additional screw conveyors, giving a further reduction in operating costs.
The introduction of additional screw conveyors further more reduces operator reducing operator costs. Utilises two long screws feeding into a main cross screw and then elevator.
Using several long screws feeding into main cross screw and then elevator. There is no input required from the operator.
Abrasive elevator and cleansing unit:
The elevator comprises of a purpose built fabrication housing an endless belt. Buckets fitted to the belt transport the abrasive to the airwash unit for cleaning.
Blast machine:
All of our blast rooms come with one of our pressure pots suitably interlocked with the access doors.
Multiple blast pots can be incorporated dependant on production requirements and the size of the blast room.
Air fed blast helmet with breathing air filtration is provided as standard.
Rubber lining:
All of our rooms are fully lined with shotblast quality rubber sheeting to protect the structure. A quick release bracket system ensures that the curtains can be easily maintained.
Dust extraction:
Correctly designed extractor with suitably positioned air inlets ensure correct air speed through the blast room, providing first class ventilation.
The purpose of an extractor is to:-
