Paint Stripping System and Method of Use

Abstract

A paint stripping system and method of use is described herein. The paint stripping system can comprise a blaster, a buggy, and a dust collector. The blaster can comprise an upper seal, one or more propeller assemblies, one or more recirculators, and one or more motor assemblies. The upper seal can be at the top surface of the blaster. The upper seal can be positionable under an overhead surface such that waste materials and abrasive material that is produced during operation is collected within the blaster. The propeller assemblies can be mounted within the blaster. The propeller assemblies can propel the abrasive material towards the overhead surface. The recirculators can recycle collected abrasive material. The motor assemblies can actuate the propeller assemblies. The buggy can mount the blaster. The buggy can comprise a scissor lift, and a steering system.

1 . A paint stripping system comprising
 a blaster comprising
 an upper seal at the top surface of said blaster, said upper seal positionable under an overhead surface such that waste materials and abrasive material that is produced during operation is collected within said blaster; 
 one or more propeller assemblies mounted within said blaster, said propeller assemblies that propels abrasive material towards an overhead surface; 
 one or more recirculators that recycles collected abrasive material; and 
 one or more motor assemblies that actuates said propeller assemblies; 
   a buggy that mounts said blaster, said buggy comprising
 a scissor lift that is adjusted such that said upper seal is directly under said overhead surface; and 
 a steering system that maneuvers said blaster to a desired direction; and 
   a dust collector connected to a portion of said blaster through a vacuum hose, said dust collector that receives said waste material collected from said blaster.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said blaster further comprising a pair of first fasteners, and a blaster-mounting bracket attached at the bottom of said blaster, said blaster-mounting bracket connectable to said buggy through a platform-mounting bracket, said platform-mounting bracket attached at the top surface of said scissor lift, further wherein said buggy comprises a pair of second fasteners. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2  further comprising a pair of turnbuckles, wherein each first end of said turnbuckles mateable with each of said first fasteners while each second end of said turnbuckles mateable with each of said second fasteners. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising
 a first power cord on said blaster; 
 a second power cord on said buggy; and 
 an electrical junction box on said dust collector, said first power cord and said second power cord connectable to said electrical junction box, further wherein said electrical junction box capable of providing power supply to said electric motor assemblies of said blaster and said steering system of said buggy. 
 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said abrasive material is loaded within said blaster manually using a funnel. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said abrasive material loaded within said blaster pneumatically through one or more loader valves, each of said loader valves placed within said blaster. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein operation of said scissor lift and said steering system of said buggy are controlled through a remote control. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein said remote control capable of raising and/or lowering said scissor lift through an actuator on said scissor lift. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7  wherein said remote control capable of maneuvering said steering system of said buggy. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9  wherein said actuator is a hydraulic lift. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9  wherein said actuator is an electric screw jacks. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said abrasive material comprises shot and grit. 
     
     
         13 . A method for operating a paint stripping system comprising the steps of
 maneuvering a buggy under an overhead surface through a steering system, said buggy further comprises a scissor lift;   loading an abrasive material within a blaster, said blaster mounted on top of said scissor lift;   adjusting said scissor lift such that said blaster positioned under an overhead surface; and   turning on an air compressor within a dust collector to start blasting said overhead surface, said dust collector connects to said blaster through a vacuum hose and an air supply hose.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  prior to turning on said air compressor of said dust collector comprising the step of connecting a power cord of said dust collector to an external power source. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13  prior to turning on said air compressor further comprising the step of connecting a first power cord of said blaster and a second power cord of said buggy to an electrical junction box of said dust collector. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13  wherein maneuvering said buggy and adjusting height of said scissor lift is controlled through a remote control. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising the step of collecting waste materials and used abrasive material produced from blasting said overhead surface within said blaster. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising the step of recycling said used abrasive material collected within said blaster. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17  wherein said abrasive material is manually loaded within said blaster through a funnel. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17  wherein said abrasive material is loaded within said blaster pneumatically through one or more loader valves, each of said loader valves placed within said blaster.
