Shot Blasting

Shot blasting consists of attacking the surface of a material with one of many types of shots. Normally this is done to remove something on the surface such as scale, but it is also done sometimes to impart a particular surface to the object being shot blasted, such as the rolls used to make a 2D finish. The shot can be sand, small steel balls of various diameters, granules of silicon carbide, etc. The device that throws the shot is either a large air gun or spinning paddles which hurl the shot off their blades.

Shot Blast Belts & Tumble Belts

A blast belt is a fabricated belt used in airless rotation blast cleaning machines to tumble the items being cleaned (or deburred) through a stream of abrasive media. The abrasive material passes through the perforations in the conveyor belt and is recycled through the system. Blast belts may also be equipped with bottom tracking guides, special covers and carcasses.

Automated hole punching assure clean, consistent perforations for efficient recycling of abrasive material. A wide variety of standard hole sizes and patterns are available for any tumble belt application. Custom sizes and patterns can also be created for unique applications.

Tumbling ribs are permanently bonded onto the belt surface and have various profiles for specific tumbling action required for each application.
