Classification of Shot Blasting Machines

Table of Content [Hide]

    Shot blasting equipment can be primarily categorized into the following types based on different processing requirements and operating principles:

     

    Classification by Workpiece Conveying Method

     

    Drum-Type Shot Blasting Machines

    Use a rotating drum to tumble the workpiece, making them suitable for batch processing of small castings. While their structure is simple, they can also cause workpieces to collide with each other.

     

    Mesh Belt Conveyor Shot Blasting Machines

     

    Use rubber tracks to convey workpieces, making them suitable for continuous processing of small and medium-sized parts. Their advantage is a high degree of automation, but their disadvantage is that the tracks are susceptible to wear.

     

    Hook-Type Shot Blasting Machines

    Workpieces are suspended from hooks and moved, making them designed for large workpieces. They can handle heavy parts, but require auxiliary equipment for loading and unloading.

     

    Roller conveyor Shot Blasting Machines

     

    Use roller conveyors for assembly line operation. They are primarily used for surface treatment of long workpieces such as steel plates and profiles.

     

    Chain-Type Shot Blasting Machines

     

    Use chain-type conveyors for conveying, making them suitable for continuous processing of large batches of small parts.

     

    Classification by Operating Principle

     

    Centrifugal Projectile Shot Blasting Machines

     

    Use a high-speed impeller to project the shot, offering high efficiency, but wearing parts require regular replacement.

     

    Air jet type

    Powered by compressed air, it is suitable for precision machining, but has high energy consumption.

     

    Classification by Processing Purpose

     

    Surface cleaning equipment

    Mainly used to remove impurities and oxide layers from the workpiece surface.

     

    Strengthening equipment

    Improve the fatigue strength of metal parts through shot impact.

     

    Pretreatment system

    Provides an appropriate surface roughness for subsequent coating processes.

     

    Finishing equipment

    Used for deburring and surface finishing of workpieces.
