Wire Mesh Belt Machines provide high volume, cost effective performance for all metal processing requirements. They will handlelarge die castings, automotive wheels, ferrous and non-ferrous castings, weldments, fabrications and more. Wire mesh belt systems are also designed to handle the high temperatures of parts that have been heat treated.
The work-pieces are placed on the wire mesh conveyor with high wear resistance, shot blasted both above and below in single pass through the blast chamber.
Progress speed of the metal wire mesh conveyor and the blast wheel rotation can be changed through the Inverter. The number ofblast wheels and the installed powers can vary depending on the models. ETSA produces several models, from the smaller with a passage width of 500 mm, up to 1.500 mm of useful width.
Loading and unloading of the work pieces can be done manually or through automatic transport systems positioned before or after,or through robots, from the metal wire mesh conveyor.
The machine is automated and highly productive.
Steel plate and steel structure: mesh belt shot blasting machine can effectivelyremove the oxidelayer, rust and welding slag on the surface of steel plate and structure, make its surface clean and smooth, and improve its corrosion resistance.
Castings and forgings: for castings and forgings, mesh belttype shot blasting machine can remove the surface of theimpurities, improve its surface quality and accuracy.
Aluminum profiles and aluminum alloy products: mesh belt shot blasting machine canremove the oxide layer and dirt on the surface of aluminum profiles and aluminum alloy products, improve their adhesion.
Stone: It can blast the curbstone, marble, road brick and other stone to achieve the lychee surface effect
A highly wear-resistant wire mesh belt, with tension adjustment, provides the part transport. Mesh belt shot blast machines provide a frequency controlled speed variable mesh belt surface on which a variety of parts can be uniformly blasted. The high-quality mesh belt ensures that the workpiece remains in the perfect position to be blasted. As each part is blasted in a controlled fashion this technology is perfect for thin-walled parts which could be damaged when impacting other parts (for example inside a tumble blasting machine). Capable of fully automatic operation the MB-line machines are the perfect shot blasters to improve the quality and consistency of your castings, forgings, or other small parts The special belt guiding enables the lower turbines to blast only through one belt position, which means that any masking is kept to a minimum. Placing several small workpieces side by side on the wire mesh belt can significantly increase the machine throughput. The extensions of the wire mesh belt transport system at the inlet and outlet side facilitate the integration of automated handling systems or robotic loading/unloading units. This kind of machine can be easily integrated into existing or brand new manufacturing lines
The work pieces first activate a switching threshold positioned in front of the blasting area’s entry vestibule. This automatically releases abrasive to the already running high-performance turbines. This ensures that blasting takes place only when work pieces are actually in the blasting zone.
The entry vestibule is equipped with wear-resistant rubber curtains that prevent the escape of abrasive. After passing through the blasting zone, work pieces enter a blow-off zone. Excess abrasive remaining on the work piece surfaces is removed and returned to the abrasive process loop.
The blasting abrasive is continuously cleaned, recirculated and reused. An abrasive metering device feeds the cleaned abrasive from the abrasive storage bunker to the high-performance turbines.
A fan unit creates the partial vacuum necessary to maintain dust-free operation of the blasting unit. Extracted air is cleaned in a special filter unit.
