Abrasive Recovery Systems

Turn your biggest cost into your biggest saving

Abrasive materials are expensive, often the largest operating cost in blasting operations, which is why recovery and recycling are so important. Without proper recovery and cleaning, you’re discarding valuable material after every job.

Our recovery systems transform this cost centre into a competitive advantage.

Adaptable recovery approaches

Continuous recovery

The ultimate in efficiency – used abrasive falls through the floor grating onto oscillating conveyors below, automatically returning to the blast system. Perfect for high-volume operations requiring maximum uptime with zero cleanup.

Manual recovery

Cost-effective solution for smaller operations. Used abrasive is manually collected and fed into our cleaning systems, and still benefits from our Airstream Abrasive Classifier technology for effective material recovery.

Batch recovery systems

Ideal for varied production where different materials are processed sequentially. Simply sweep used abrasive into collection grates and the system handles cleaning and recycling – lower capital cost with excellent flexibility.

Mobile recovery

Protoblast’s Nucleus mobile recovery systems bring the same cleaning technology to job sites, maintenance operations and temporary installations. Available in different capacities to match your requirements.

Proprietary technology advantage
Oscillating conveyors

Our unique design uses a gentle rocking motion to transport abrasive with minimal power consumption and virtually no wear. Unlike pneumatic systems, there are no high-speed flows to cause component wear.

Airstream Abrasive Classifier™

Our exclusive technology separates used abrasive into clean reusable material, fine particles for disposal and dust for collection. This precise separation dramatically extends abrasive life compared to conventional cleaning methods.
