A table type shot blasting machine is a form of abrasive blasting equipment designed for treating various types of workpieces. It is particularly suited for cleaning, descaling, deburring, or preparing surfaces for coating on parts that can be placed directly on a table or fixture. This machine is widely used in various industries, including foundry, forging, automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing, for its efficiency in processing flat, large, or heavy components that cannot be easily hung or tumbled.
Automotive Industry:
Cleaning engine components: Table type blasting effectively removes casting residues, heat treat scale, and other contaminants from engine blocks, pistons, and other parts before further machining or assembly.
Surface preparation for painting: Blasting creates a clean and slightly textured surface that improves the adhesion of paint or coatings applied to car parts like fenders, hoods, and bumpers.
Deburring: The blasting process can remove burrs (sharp edges left behind from machining) on various automotive components.
Foundries and Metalworking:
Cleaning castings and forgings: These machines efficiently remove sand residues, scale, and oxidation from castings and forgings of different sizes.
Shot peening: By using specific media and blasting parameters, table type machines can be used for shot peening smaller metal parts to improve their fatigue strength.
Surface texturing: Blasting can create a controlled surface texture on metal parts for improved grip or to achieve a desired aesthetic finish.
Construction and Fabrication:
Preparing steel components: Table type blasting machines can clean and prepare steel beams, plates, and other structural elements before welding, painting, or other fabrication processes.
Removing rust and coatings: These machines are effective for removing rust, old paint, or other coatings from metal components used in construction projects.
Workpiece size and weight: The table size and weight capacity of the machine should accommodate your typical parts.
Desired level of automation: Choose between manual loading/unloading or models with tilting tables for easier loading/unloading of heavier parts.
Type of abrasive media: The media selection depends on the material you're blasting and the desired cleaning outcome (e.g., rust removal vs. surface preparation for painting).
Dust collection needs: Ensure the machine has an effective dust collection system to comply with regulations and maintain a clean work environment.
