Blast & Coating

Measuring 54 ft (16.5 m) in length and extendable to 70 ft (21.3 m), by 22 ft (6.7 m) wide and 20 ft (6.1 m) high, Blast 1 is equipped with a media recovery system and a wet scrubber for dust collection. We have the ability to grit blast very large tanks, oil and gas industry components, large pressure vessels and structural components.

To streamline our process, Blast 1 is located in line with our largest paint booth minimizing the need for extra material handling and ensuring high finish standards for sensitive or extremely heavy components.

Housing the largest blasting area at Aberfoyle, Blast 2 measures 80 ft (25.0 m) long by 40 ft (12.2 m) wide. This covered area allows us to manually blast large and oversized components using specialized surface preparation media including While Lightning, Aluminum Oxide and Glass Bead. These less abrasive materials are ideally suited to provide a high-quality finish for stainless steel and similar alloy surfaces.

Aberfoyle's largest paint booth is 54 ft (16.5 m) in length and extendable to 74 ft (21.3 m) by 24 ft (7.3 m) wide by 20 ft (6.1 m) high giving us an exceptional capacity for coating extremely large components.
