Hanger Type Shot Blasting Machine

The Role of Hanger Type Shot Blasting in Industrial Efficiency

Hanger type shot blasting machines play a vital role in enhancing industrial efficiency by streamlining the surface preparation process for various workpieces. Here's how they contribute to improved production rates and overall cost-effectiveness:

Faster Processing:

• Continuous Blasting: Unlike batch-load machines where blasting stops for loading/unloading, hanger type machines offer continuous processing. Parts are hung on a conveyor system that continuously moves them through the blasting chamber, maximizing production throughput.

• Efficient Media Recovery: These hanger shot blasting machines typically have efficient media recovery systems that separate the abrasive media from the blasted workpieces. This allows for continuous media recycling, reducing downtime for media refills and minimizing waste.

Improved Cleaning Consistency:

• Multiple Blast Angles: Hanger type machines often have strategically positioned blast wheels that bombard workpieces from various angles. This ensures uniform cleaning and eliminates the possibility of shadowed areas that might be missed in other blasting methods.

• Workpiece Rotation: In some designs, the hangers rotate the workpieces as they pass through the blast stream. This rotation ensures all surfaces are evenly exposed to the abrasive media for a consistent cleaning effect.

Hanger Type Shot Blasting vs. Traditional Methods: A Battle for Efficiency

When it comes to surface preparation in industrial settings, hanger type shot blasting offers several advantages over traditional methods. Here's a breakdown of how they compare:

Traditional Methods:

• Manual Blasting: This involves manually directing a blast stream from a handheld nozzle onto the workpiece. It's a labor-intensive process with inherent inconsistencies in cleaning thoroughness depending on the operator's skill and technique.

  
  

• Blast Rooms with Tumbling Barrels: Workpieces are loaded into a tumbling barrel that rotates them as they are blasted with abrasive media. This method can be slow for large or complex-shaped parts, and achieving uniform cleaning across all surfaces can be challenging.

  
  

• Blast Rooms with Manual Manipulation: In this method, the operator manually manipulates the workpiece within the blast chamber to expose different surfaces to the blast stream. This is time-consuming and requires significant operator effort.

  
  

Hanger Type Shot Blasting:

• Automated Operation: Workpieces are hung on a conveyor system that moves them through the blasting chamber, minimizing manual labor and ensuring continuous processing.

  
  

• Multiple Blast Angles: Strategically positioned blast wheels bombard workpieces from various angles, eliminating shadowed areas and achieving uniform cleaning across all surfaces.

  
  

• Workpiece Rotation (in some models): By rotating the workpieces as they pass through the blast stream, hanger shot blasting machines ensure complete exposure of all sides to the abrasive media for a consistent cleaning effect.
