CCS Advanced Grit Blasting, Grit Recovery, And Recycling Trailers

In keeping with a strong commitment towards reducing the negative environmental impact of surface preparation and waste management due to the impact the Painting Industry trade can have on our environment, CCS has acquired a Steel Grit Recycler Trailer unit to reduce the environmental footprint a coatings company can have. This unit (as shown below) provides CCS the ability to abrasive blast with Steel Grit when removing a coating system. But more importantly, it affords CCS the ability to recycle/reuse the Steel Grit over and over thereby significantly reducing the amount of waste blast media traditionally needed to prepare a surface. The methodology of this technology is quite simple but HIGHLY effective; blast the surface with Steel Grit removing the coating system, vactor up the waste coating chips generated and blast media utilized. The waste material removed from the surface is then separated from the blast media and placed in a sealed drum, ready for disposal. The Steel Grit is further cleaned and recycled back into the system ready to remove more coating; thereby completing the recycling process. In addition, any dust throughout this process has been controlled by two dust collectors with environmental controls to minimize any escapements.

Deployment of this equipment means CCS will generate one tenth of the waste of our competitors which significantly reduces environmental impact.

CCS Recycler

Best Uses

  • Lead Abatement Projects where 100 % Containment is the objective
  • Interior Tank Linings, Exterior Contained Tanks
  • Bridges where containment is mandatory
  • Interior Penstocks, Power Generation Facilities, Interior industrial Plant works
  • Ship Holds-Voids, Covered Decks

Deployment Considerations

  1. Steel grit blasting must be completed within an atmospherically controlled environment where
    humidity, rain, and water must not be allowed to come in contact with the blast media.
  2. The back end of the trailer must be able to be positioned within 100ft of the entrance to the work
    area.
  3. The weight of the trailer requires a firm parking area.
