shot blasting machine in India | shotblasting machines for sale at best price
Shot Blasting is a process used for the treatment of surface preparation with the help of high velocity steel abrasive material also known as media. The shot blasting method helps in obtaining cleaning and preparation of the surfaces for the secondary finishing operations.
Application of shot blasting is as following:
· For cleaning of metals like: iron, steel, forgings, non- cast parts and many more.
· For mechanical cleaning of: sheets, wire, rods, coils, etc.
· For shot peening to change the mechanical properties such as for increasing resistance to fatigue for springs, gears, etc.
· Preparation of surfaces for operations like painting, coating, etc.
In general, the process of shot blasting focuses on throwing the abrasive particles at a high speed of 65 to 110 m/second in a highly controlled way at the material to be blasted and as a result removing the contaminates on the surface with the help of the abrasive impact.
When the process of shot blasting was on its peak it was used with compressed air for propelling the steel shots and this method still remains in use today for cleaning of metal frames. The shot blast production lines (both manual and automated systems), only became possible after the introduction of the centrifugal wheel blast machines. The system of shot blasting with the centrifugal wheel has proven to be more productive than by the compressed air and achieves a better and more uniform finishing of the surface.
The criteria used for the selection process of the type of shot blasting system and machines depends on the size and shape of the parts to be blasted, the condition of the surface to be cleaned, the required final surface finish specification and the overall required process.
