Surface Preparation Module
J.Reid Engineering’s dedication to quality has generated a reputation for reliability, longevity and well-designed efficient products.
Shot blasting irregular shaped components has often taken place without much thought to health and safety, sometimes outdoors in an uncontrolled environment.
With increasing concerns about operator safety and environmental impact, J.Reid Engineering has the solution in the form of their ‘Containablast’ surface preparation module.
The basis of our portable ‘Containablast’ units is a new robust shipping container which lends itself perfectly for conversion. The container is then modified to house a host of equipment providing a self contained portable blast room, simply requiring compressed air and electrical connections.
Each unit is fully assembled at our works for inspection prior to delivery. Comprehensive operator training can be undertake at our works or your site when the unit is installed.
Our equipment is suitable for a wide range of abrasive media including but not limited to :-
- Steel shot
- Steel grit
- Chilled iron
- Aluminium oxide
- Glass bead
The container is fitted with a bulkhead to provide two rooms, the blast room and a service room.
Blast room fitted out with :
- Main doors suitable interlocked – to prevent blasting with doors open.
- Operator door – as a means of exit if main doors are stuck, also interlocked.
- LED lighting.
- Emergency lighting.
- Steel floor with side shedders.
- Cross screw conveyor at the bulkhead.
