What is Shot Blasting?

Shot blasting is a technique used for the purpose of surface finishing. Fortunately, it is a dust-free alternative and also saves on time and labor. With shot blasting there are none of the hassles associated with other methods used for surface preparation and you do not have to worry about expensive disposal procedures. In fact, shot blasting is fast becoming the preferred method among coating manufacturers since it produces great bonding characteristics that reduce instances of coating failure and increases floor life. Shot blasting is also used to remove scale, burrs, graffiti and rust from any surface. 

How Does It Work?

The main principle of shot blasting lies in propelling a controlled stream of abrasive shot material rapidly towards the surface being targeted. At the heart of the shot blasting system lies a blast wheel. As the wheel rotates at high speed, the metallic abrasive (also known as media) is channelized to its center, from where it is accelerated and hurled in the direction of the surface being prepared. The contaminants as well as the media rebound into a separation system that contains a dust collector. The function of the dust collector is to remove the dust, contaminants and any media that has been pulverized. The remaining media can be recycled by returning it to the storage hopper for future use. 

Different Methods of Shot Blasting

Sand is the most common abrasive used for shot blasting, and therefore the process is generally referred to as sandblasting. The other abrasives used for shot blasting are garnet, chilled iron, olivine and glass beads. The first two are extremely coarse and abrasive and they are not to be used on soft surfaces. However, olivine and glass beads are generally used as polishing agents and they can be used on delicate surfaces like metals, plastic, rubber and glass.

Advantages of Shot Blasting

There are several advantages to choosing shot blasting over other conventional techniques used to prepare surfaces. For one, you can avoid using harsh chemicals that are not eco-friendly. Additionally, you can select from among a wide range of abrasives and you can use this process indoors as well as outdoors. With this process, the surface is dry almost immediately and there is no accompanying dust pollution.

1. Whether the fixing bolts on all the blasting machine and the blasting machine motor are loose, and it is found that the loosening is immediately tightened. 2. The wear of the wear-resistant parts and the shot blasting inside the shot blasting machine, and replace the worn parts in time. 3. Check the blades and replace them when they are half worn. 4. Check if the position of the directional sleeve pointer is correct.   5. Whether the shot blasting machine inspection door is closed. 6. Whether there is air leakage in the dust removal pipe, whether the filter bag in the dust collector is dusty or damaged. 7. There are no accumulations and other debris on the spiral shell and filter screen of the separator and remove it in time. 8. Check that the flow screen of the separator is uniform and forms a full curtain. 9. Is the electronically controlled pill gate closed? 10. Check whether the status of each limit switch and proximity switch is norma...

What is sand blasting machine ? Sand blasting   is the technique of mechanical surface cleaning which uses compressed air as its power shots the high speed abrasive sand stream to the surface of work piece. Due to the impacting and cutting effect of the abrasive sand, the work piece surface is completely cleaned. At the same time, the surface quality and mechanical performance is greatly improved. It is widely used in a variety of different industries with many diverse purposes. Sand blasting is also used in refurnishing sports part of car, motorcycle, electro mechanical device, etc. It helps in removing surface marks of metal/non-metal items, dumb face and fog treatment processing to enhance the product grade. Sand blasting   is also known as abrasive blasting. It is a process where fine granular sand is applied high pressure against a rough surface keeping in mind the end goal to smooth that surface out. In this process, the abrasive material is pushed,...

Blasting is the techniques of removing dust, coating, polishing of different surfaces. There are many types of blasting process available according to the requirement like shot peening blasting. It puts small dents on the surface to give a finish where required and helps in wear resistance of the surface. The different types of blasting: Soda blasting Shot Grit Blasting Steel sandblasting Glass Bead blasting Bristle blasting Water blasting Air Blasting Sand abrasive blasting There is most common way of blasting and we called it sand blasting. It uses small grains of garnet for removing coating or polishing a surface. It is composed with the stream of compressed air that helps in acceleration of the particles while water blasting uses high pressure water guns to clean surfaces. They are available in both big and small sizes so they used in home as well as in industry also. Mayflay High Pressure Manual Abrasive Blast Cabinet Sandblasting Machine: ...
