What is a Shot Blasting Machine and How Does it Work?

Wheel Blast Machines are commonly applied for:

• To clean iron, steel, non-cast parts, forgings, etc.
• To clean mechanical sheets, rods, coils, wire, etc.
• To prepare surfaces to be painted, coated, etc.
• Shot peening to improve mechanical properties, increasing resistance against fatigue for springs, gears and so on.

Wheel Blasting common applications:

• Derusting: Process to clean and remove rust from steel and iron parts.
• Descaling: Descaling is a metal cleaning process that removes unwanted surface deposits on metals to provide a smooth surface finish
• Decoring: The terms “decore” and “shake out” cover the removal of the core and core residue, including the core bar (densener) from the casting.
• Deflashing:  Finishing technique to remove excess material (flash) from a plastic or metal molding.
• Shot Peen (peening): Shot peening is a process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify the mechanical properties of metals and composites, typically to strengthen the material.
• General Surface Preparation: methods used to treat the surface of substrate prior to the application of coating (painting, coating and lining, etc.)
  • Paint Preparation
• Sand Removal: Removing excess sand from surfaces.
• Surface Finishing: Surface finishing is a broad range of industrial processes that alter the surface of a manufactured item to achieve a certain property
• General Blast Cleaning
