## Abstract

A modular abrasive particle blasting system comprises an abrasive blast assembly including at least one blast vessel for delivering blast particles to an abrasive blasting system. The abrasive blast assembly is mounted within a first skid. An abrasive recycling assembly includes at least one vacuum hopper for receiving grit retrieved from an abrasive blasting process. The abrasive recycling assembly is mounted within a second skid. The first and second skids comprise mounting members at a top section and a bottom section of each of the first and second skids to permit mounting of the first and second skids in alternate stacked arrangements whereby the first skid is selective mounted above and below the second skid. The same skid principal may be used to provide a variety of skids, including blast skid, vacuum skid, recycle skid, storage skid, air dryer skid, dust collector skid and or dehumidification skid.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A modular abrasive particle blasting system comprising:
an abrasive blast assembly including at least one blast vessel for delivering blast particles to an abrasive blasting system, said abrasive blast assembly being mounted within a first skid;
an abrasive recycling assembly including at least one vacuum hopper for receiving grit retrieved from an abrasive blasting process, said abrasive recycling assembly being mounted within a second skid;
wherein said first and second skids comprising mounting members at a top section and a bottom section of each of said first and second skids to permit mounting of said first and second skids in alternate stacked arrangements whereby said first skid is selective mounted above and below said second skid.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The modular abrasive particle blasting system according to claim 1, further comprising an abrasive vacuum assembly including a vacuum dust collector, said abrasive vacuum assembly being mounted within a third skid, wherein said third skid comprises additional mounting members to permit said third skid to be selectively mounted above and below at least one of said first and second skids.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The modular abrasive particle blasting system according to claim 1, wherein said blast assembly and said recycling assembly are interconnected by pneumatic hoses.
