Mobile Sandblasting Units
A mobile blast unit provides a suitable area to use for occasional sandblasting projects. The controlled environment that is featured within a mobile room or booth will ensure that blasting jobs are conducted precisely.
Drawbacks Of Outdoor Blasting Sessions
Sandblasting applications remove the original surface coating from metal and other nonporous materials. Sandblasting can be used to restore machinery, tools, and vehicles that are rusted or showing signs of wear. Sandblasting applications can be performed outdoors or indoors.
In spite of the flexibility associated with where sandblasting processes are conducted, there are some limitations associated with sandblasting outdoors. If the weather is inclement, sandblasting outdoors may not be possible.
Using an open area outdoors to sandblast may result in wind or rain affecting the performance of the sandblasting equipment that a machine operator uses.
Blasting within a confined sandblasting unit will allow a machine operator to sandblast materials in a consistent manner. There will be no occasions in which blasting processes cannot be conducted.
Mobile Units
A mobile sandblasting unit will be equipped with a ventilation system. A ventilation system aids with maintaining the air quality within a mobile unit. Fine particulates and dust will be collected through a filtration system. A mobile unit will promote a safe work area for sandblasting to be conducted. It will also reduce the amount of cleanup that a machine operator needs to perform.
Because the filtration system will collect particulates, a machine operator will not need to use a vacuum process or another cleaning method to perform extensive cleaning steps at the end of a blasting session.
Shopping For A Mobile Unit
The manufacturer of a mobile sandblasting unit may sell portable rooms and fully-retractable booths. A dust collection system that is attached to the ventilation equipment that a mobile unit contains will be fully removable.
Ventilation systems that are featured in mobile units vary. It is important for a customer to assess various ventilation systems, to determine which one will be best suited for the sandblasting operations that will be performed within a unit.
A mobile unit that is retractable takes up a minimal amount of space. A retractable model can be folded up when it is not in use. The fully extendable sides of a mobile booth can be extended outward when sandblasting operations are going to be performed.
When shopping for a mobile unit, a customer should consider the size of the items that they will be sandblasting. The dimensions of the items will guide them in choosing a portable unit that will be suited for blasting sessions.
