Shot Blasting Machines

Shot blasting machine is a type of machine equipment used for surface treatment, mainly used for cleaning and treating the surface of materials such as metal, stone, and concrete.

The working principle of the shot blasting machine is to spray metal abrasives onto the surface of the workpiece under the action of a high-speed rotating wheel impeller, in order to remove dirt, oxide layer, rust and other substances on the surface, and thus obtain a smooth surface. At the same time, the shot blast machine can also increase surface roughness, improve the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the workpiece surface.

1. Regularly check the screen of the shot blasting machine and clean the debris on the separator, as well as the dust inside the dust collector, to ensure the normal operation of the dust removal system of the shot blasting machine.

2. Regularly lubricate all components of the shot blasting machine according to regulations.

3. Check the wear of the lifting bucket and lifting belt of the shot blasting machine and replace them in a timely.

4. Do not pour unclean shot materials and debris into the blast cleaning room of the shot blast machine.

Shot Blasting Machine VS. Sandblasting: A Comparison

Principle:

Shot blasting: Shot blasting is the process of projecting high-speed metal abrasive onto the surface of a workpiece under the action of mechanical force. The impact and friction of the metal abrasive are used to remove dirt, oxide layers, and old coatings, while improving surface quality.

Sandblasting: Sandblasting is the process of using compressed air to spray sand or other abrasives onto the surface of a workpiece, utilizing the impact and friction forces of the sand to remove dirt, oxide layers, and old coatings, as well as produce the desired surface effect.

Application field:

Shot blasting: Shot blasting is commonly used for deburring, rust removal, cleaning, and surface strengthening treatment of metal surfaces. It is widely used in industries such as automobiles, aerospace, ships, bridges, steel structures, and casting.

Sandblasting: Sandblasting is suitable for surface treatment of various materials, including metals, wood, plastics, etc. It is commonly used in fields such as art carving, glass decoration, furniture manufacturing, and stone processing.

Surface effect:

Shot blasting: Shot blasting can produce changes in roughness and surface texture, providing better adhesion and appearance for subsequent coating, spraying, or painting.

Sandblasting: Sandblasting can produce abrasions of different particle sizes and shapes, thereby changing the surface glossiness, texture, and appearance.
