Complete Abrasive Blasting

Systems, Inc. (CAB) of Kent,

Wash., recently announced that the first portable manual air blast application of a skid-mounted steel grit recovery system for field use has been delivered and is in service successfully.

The equipment is being used for the blasting and coating of the intake gates and pit areas of the Chief Joseph Dam in

Bridgeport, Wash. The work is being performed by Abhe & Svo- bada of Prior Lake, Minn., under an Army Corps of Engineers contract. The contract has strin- gent requirements for air pollu- tion control and possible contam- ination due to surface prepara- tion.

The CAB field system was de- signed and engineered by the firm at the request of Gale Svo- bada, company president, not only to fulfill the Corps contract, but also, with minor adjustments, to be suitable for other applica- tions. The CAB system includes an MSA-6 automatic blast ma- chine with 6 operator outlets and a 25-ton hopper; two 50-hp ARS- 750 vacuum recovery systems; and two Auto Dumps on a spe- cial custom-built hopper con-
