Sandblasting Filtration Techniques
Sandblasting Filtration Techniques
(OP)
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
The company I work for is going to sandblast two very large floors in a building we recently purchased. I am looking for some cheap and easy design solutions that will help me to filter the air during the sandblasting operation. We currently own a large number of Torit Cyclones and a wide assortmant of high cfm fans. I am interested if anyone else has any ideas on how to control the air flow in a dusty environment. We cannot just blow the dust outside, of course and must pull it down somehow out of the air. Keep in mind we do not have a budget to purchase new equipment. Does anyone have good experience with any particular filter medium? Also, any ideas on how to seal and convert rooms adjacent into these areas into a large-scale cyclone/filtration unit using the aforementioned requirements? Thanks.

RE: Sandblasting Filtration Techniques
Depending upon how fine the resulting dust is you may need a volute on the cyclone to catch the fines or a secondary bag. A system that works quite well if you have enough water gauge is to run the exhaust into a 55 gallon drum with water in it so that it bubbles through the water.
This takes the fines out of the air quite well.However you now have the probem of getting rid of the contaminated water.

Ohsa does not allow air that contains silica dust to be recirculated in a building where people may breathe it.
