Shot Blasting Cabinet is a cabinet consisting of many elements useful for Shot Blasting the substrate surface. Shot Blasting Machine is a process in which blasting abrasives is Steel Shots. It is a cabinet having all one characteristic. We use this cabinet only for Abrasives like 30/60 mesh, Steel Grit, Aluminum Grit, Copper Slag, etc. That is used for blasting on the surface of the substrate. Shot Blasting Cabinet reduces the requirement of safety equipment because the cabinet protects the operator from the micro particles of abrasive.
Working of Shot Blasting Cabinet
Shot Blasting Cabinet is Work on the blasting principle, the pressure blaster generates high abrasive velocity, resulting in faster cleaning of the job. A pressure vessel directly bolted beneath the cabinet's hopper has an automatic abrasive media refilling arrangement. As a standard feature, a tubular fabric bag type dust collector with a large filter area is attached to the cabinet for high dust collection efficiency. For bag shaking, a manual shaker dust collector is also provided.
It is recommended for quick cleaning, removing heavy rust and corrosion with coarse abrasives, and etching the surface required for thermal spaying. The blast pressure can be adjusted from 30 to 90 psig. Depending on the application, almost any coarse or medium abrasive alike steel shots, stainless steel shot, cut wire shot, mild steel shot, copper slag, Aluminum oxide, etc can be used.
It is mostly a closed system that allows the operator to blast the part and recycle the abrasives, This mostly consists of four components; the shot blasting cabinet, the abrasive blasting system, the dust collector, and the grit recovery & recycling system.
Application of Shot Blasting Cabinet
- Sand-molds are frequently used to make smaller auto parts like bell housings and stabilising bars, allowing for the use of shot-blasting cabinets to clean the surfaces prior to further processing.
- Many small metal castings can be simultaneously cleaned of surface sand using a shot-blasting cabinet.
- The optimal time to use shot-blasting in foundries is during post-production.
- Before metal is processed, corrosion and rust can be removed with a shot blasting cabinet. It can also be employed at the end of the operation to give the metal a flawless surface.
