Shotblasting uses wheel blast equipment to propel abrasive media on surfaces being treated for final finishing. This equipment uses a specially designed and closely controlled wheel to generate centrifugal force and blast abrasives like steel shot and steel grit on products. The process involves “throwing” media at a surface rather than “blowing” it. This is the common equipment used in shot blasting systems:
- Tumble blast equipment: Tumble blasts allow continuous blasting cycles with continual abrasive recycling. These machines have built-in rubber belt and steel flight models in different sizes.
- Swing table blast wheels: Direct drive blast wheels swing out for loading and unloading abrasive media.
- Table blasters: These are fixed equipment components with direct drive wheels mounted inside the blast cabinet.
- Spinner hangers: These direct drive blast wheels have rotating spindles that allow loading and unloading abrasive media during a continuous blast cycle.
- Hanger blast equipment: Blast systems can be fitted with trolleys and hung on manual Y-track monorails for specific shot blasting operations.
- Cylinder blasters: Certain shot blast equipment specializes in removing rust and old paint from all forms of metal cylinders.
