Sandblasting / Shotblasting

Unit = 1 Capacity = 500kgs

Shot blasting is for surface cleaning of heat-treated parts like Gears, Machined components, Engine valves, Transmission parts etc.

How it works

1. The abrasive is accelerated through a throwing wheel that spins inside a steel housing
2. The process is usually carried out in a blast room or blast cabinet.
3. The shot blasting machine has several parts, including a blast wheel, cabinet, work handling mechanism, elevator, separator, and dust collector.

Benefits

It provides two major benefits which are as follows:

• It helps to remove all rust, mill scale, and corrosion, thus eliminating moisture which is entrapped beneath these corrosion products.
• It also provides an ideal surface finish for securing a continuous and effective bond between the steel surfaces.

Typical Material used

• Steel shot

A common choice for shot blasting because it's hard, durable, and inexpensive. It's effective at removing rust, paint, and other contaminants from metal surfaces.

• Aluminum oxide

A synthetic abrasive that's often used for non-metal surfaces like concrete or stone. It's effective at removing contaminants and preparing surfaces for coating or painting.

• Glass beads and olivine

Commonly used for polishing surfaces like glass, rubber, metal, and plastic.

• Garnet and chilled iron

These materials are very coarse and abrasive, so they shouldn't be used on soft materials.

Other materials used for shot blasting include:

Stainless steel cut wire shot, Lead shot, Zinc shot, Coal slag, Plastics, Walnut shells, Ceramic micro powder, Steel sand, Corn cob, and Resin sand.
