Automatic Shotblast Equipment

Installed and commissioned at your site

The main principal of shot blasting lies in propelling abrasive media at high speed, in a controlled manor at the work being processed, thereby removing the surface contaminates due to the abrasive impact.

The system of shot blasting using an impeller wheel is more productive than compressed air and achieves a constant uniform surface finish at a lower cost.

Selecting the type of shot blasting machine depends on the size and shape of component parts, the condition of the surface to be cleaned, final surface finish and production requirements.

Generally automatic shot blasting machines comprise of the following sub-systems;

• Blast wheel assembly to propel the abrasive in a controlled manner
• Heavy constructed blast chamber fitted with wear resistant lining
• Dust extraction and ducting to remove dust form the machine
• Component handling system
• Electrical control equipment

The component to be processed determines the design of the plant, this could take the form of;

• Overhead conveyor
• Roller conveyor
• Endless belt conveyor
• Diablo conveyor
• Rotary table
• Rubber or steel tumble blast
