Sand Blasting Booths, Recovery Systems & Dust Collectors
Let Us Help You Select The RIGHT Media Blast Booth
Instead of relying on harmful chemical stripping methods, a sandblasting booth uses high-pressure air to propel abrasive media against surfaces, effectively removing paint, welding slag, and surface contaminants, or preparing raw materials for paint or powder coating. Blasting provides an efficient, safer alternative that helps reduce employee exposure to toxic substances.
Our sandblast booths are fully customizable to meet the specific needs of your shop. We guide you through every phase of the project—from initial consultation and system design to final implementation—whether integrating into an existing finishing line or installing a completely new system. A controlled blasting environment also ensures consistent surface preparation, regardless of outdoor weather conditions.

Blast Room Construction
Heavy-duty panels: Wall and roof panels are fabricated from 10-gauge steel and CNC plasma-cut to ensure dimensional accuracy and precise hole alignment.
Seam protection: Aluminum seam caps are installed at each panel junction to provide a durable finished connection and help protect the seams.
Lighting
LED fixtures: Blast rooms are equipped with LED lighting fixtures.
Protected wall lighting: Wall lights are enclosed in 10-gauge steel housings and protected by ¼-inch Lexan panels to withstand the blast-room environment.
Sealing: Sealant is provided around the light fixtures to help maintain enclosure integrity and protect against dust infiltration.
Entry/Exit Doors
Heavy-duty construction: Work doors are fabricated from heavy-wall tubing and double-lined with 10-gauge steel skins.
Edge sealing: Exterior door edges are sealed with heavy-duty rubber to help contain blast media and dust.
Optional rubber roll-up doors: Rubber roll-up doors are available as an alternative.
Roll-up door construction: These doors use a single ¼-inch SBR rubber curtain for smooth operation.
Safety features: Roll-up doors include a reversing edge and through-beam photoelectric safety switch to help prevent door-related injuries or equipment damage.
Dust Collection
Heavy-duty collectors: Dust collectors are constructed from 3/16-inch plate steel for durability.
Filter compatibility: Collectors use commonly available filter sizes, allowing compatibility with a wide range of filter brands and types.
Multiple applications: Systems can be configured for applications ranging from abrasive-blasting dust to torch-table fumes.
Indoor installation: After-filters are available for dust collectors installed indoors.
HEPA filtration: HEPA-rated filters can be used to provide high-efficiency filtration before cleaned air is returned to the facility.
Overall
The system combines heavy-gauge steel construction, protected lighting, rugged access doors, safety controls, and adaptable dust collection to create a durable blast-room environment capable of handling demanding abrasive-blasting and industrial applications.
30 Years of Blast Equipment Experience. Total Project Control. Proven Results.
With 30 years of experience in blast equipment, you can rest assured your project will not only go as planned—but is often completed ahead of schedule. By handling every phase in-house, from planning and design through fabrication and installation, we maintain complete control over quality, timelines, and execution. No subcontractors. Just one accountable team delivering a successful project from start to finish.
When selecting a blast booth for your facility, it’s critical to verify the wall material gauge specified in your proposal. Some manufacturers cut corners by using 18-gauge wall panels, which simply are not built to withstand the harsh conditions of a blasting environment. While this approach may lower the initial price, it often leads to premature wear, increased maintenance, and higher long-term costs.
Heavier-gauge construction delivers the durability and service required for demanding blast applications—and ensures your investment performs as expected.
Styles of Blast Reclaim Systems
Sweep-In or Shovel-In Blast Media Recovery Systems
Sweep-In or Shovel-In Recovery Systems are an economical solution for low- to moderate-production blasting operations. Spent blast media is manually swept or shoveled into a recovery hopper, where it is collected for processing and reuse.
These systems provide a simple, reliable, and cost-effective recovery option for facilities that do not require a fully automated media recovery system.

FAQs
What is a sand blasting booth and how does it work?
A sand blasting booth, also called an abrasive blast booth or blast room, is an enclosed system designed for surface preparation using compressed air and abrasive media. The blasting process removes paint, rust, scale, welding slag and other surface contaminants while preparing metal and other materials for painting, powder coating or additional finishing processes.
What type of dust collection system is needed for a sand blasting booth?
A properly sized blast booth dust collector removes airborne dust generated during abrasive blasting and helps maintain visibility inside the blast room. Dust collector sizing depends on booth dimensions, airflow requirements, abrasive media, material being blasted and production volume. Systems can also be equipped with after-filters or HEPA filtration when the application requires additional filtration before returning cleaned air to the facility.
What is a blast media recovery system?
A blast media recovery system collects spent abrasive from the floor of the sand blasting booth so reusable media can be separated, cleaned and returned to the blasting system. Recovery systems reduce manual cleanup, decrease abrasive consumption and improve production efficiency. Available configurations include sweep-in or shovel-in recovery, single-auger recovery, H-Style or U-Style recovery and full-floor automated recovery systems.
What is the best abrasive recovery system for a blast booth?
The best blast media recovery system depends primarily on production volume, booth size, labor requirements and how frequently the booth is used. Sweep-in systems are economical for lower-production applications, while single-auger and H- or U-Style recovery systems provide increasing levels of automation. High-production facilities typically benefit most from a full-floor recovery system that automatically collects abrasive throughout the blast booth.
Can a sand blasting booth be customized for large equipment, rail cars and industrial products?
Yes. Industrial sand blasting booths can be custom engineered around the size and shape of the products being blasted. Paintbooth.com can design blast rooms for rail cars, heavy equipment, agricultural machinery, tanks, aerospace components, fabricated structures and other oversized products. Both size, doors, lighting, dust collection, media recovery and material-handling requirements can all be designed around your production process and environment.
