What is shot blasting machine
A Shot blast machine propels shot-abrasive against the surface of a metal product to remove impurities using a centrifugal wheel, the wheel turns to direct the abrasive material at high speed, preparing the surface for finishing. Contaminants are captured in the machine’s dust collection system.
Shot blasting machines apply abrasive shot to various surfaces, utilizing steel shot for peening to strengthen metals, as well as for desanding and descaling components. This direct application effectively cleans and prepares materials, enhancing their durability and performance for specific applications while ensuring a cleaner working environment.
