A production rate of 15 minutes per joint working 24 hours a day was required. An enclosed room with pneumatic doors was custom designed to contain the blast. A screw auger was fit to run the entire length of the room to return the steel grit to a bucket elevator, classifying system and storage hopper. The storage hopper sat over a 6 cubic foot capacity blast vessel. It was required by the customer that the system should only require one operator. The operator used a remote control station that utilized PLC, control systems and HMI touch screen to operate the equipment. Once the pipe was in place, the operator could place the system into “Auto Mode” and the pipe would automatically blast and blow down the pipe while the operator proceeded to load the next stators onto the entrance racks.
