We are a real factory and located in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, CHINA

Shot Blasting uses centrifugal blast wheels to propel steel media, offering higher speed, efficiency, and lower operating costs for large-scale surface preparation, descaling, and shot peening. Sandblasting (Air Blasting) uses compressed air and nozzles, offering greater precision and flexibility for intricate parts, internal surfaces, and selective cleaning.

Choose Shot Blasting for high-volume, uniform cleaning (e.g., plates, structural steel, castings).

Choose Sandblasting for low-volume, delicate, or complex geometry work (e.g., tool finishing, specific surface texturing).

The primary TCO components are Power Consumption, Abrasive Media Consumption, and Wear Part Replacement.

To minimize costs:

Optimize the Media Mix: Ensure proper grading to reduce dust loss and wheel wear.

Use High-Quality Materials: Our machines feature high-chromium/manganese liners and blades for extended life.

Regular Maintenance: Adhere to the maintenance schedule for lubrication and critical component checks to prevent catastrophic failure and unnecessary downtime.

Our equipment is designed to achieve industry-leading standards, typically up to Sa 3 (White Metal Cleanliness) according to ISO 8501-1.

The final result (roughness profile) is adjustable and depends on three factors:

Abrasive Selection: Steel Grit generally produces a coarser profile than Steel Shot.

Blast Parameters: Adjusting wheel speed or nozzle pressure controls the impact energy.

Cycle Time: Longer exposure improves the cleaning result.

Media choice is critical. Generally:

Larger, Rounder Media (Shot): Provides a shallower, smoother profile (often used for shot peening or final cleaning before painting).

Smaller, Angular Media (Grit): Creates a deeper, more aggressive profile (ideal for heavy descaling and preparing surfaces for thick coatings requiring high anchor pattern).

We recommend performing test runs with various media to meet specific Ra (Roughness Average) or Rz (Maximum Peak-to-Valley Height) requirements.

Our machines prioritize safety through several integrated features:

Safety Interlocks: Prevent the blast wheels/system from operating if doors are open or maintenance panels are removed.

Emergency Stop Buttons: Strategically placed throughout the machine and control panel.

Blast Wheel Vibration Monitoring: Protects the wheel unit from damage caused by imbalance.

Compliance: All equipment meets relevant international safety standards (e.g., CE, OSHA guidelines).

The lifespan of wear parts depends heavily on the type of abrasive (grit is much harder on parts than shot), operating hours, and the blast intensity.

Typical Lifespan: Blades and critical liners usually last between 200 to 800 operational hours.

We provide a detailed Wear Part Inspection Guide and recommend visual checks every 50 hours and comprehensive measurements every 200 hours to ensure maximum uptime.

Yes, all our machines feature an integrated Abrasive Reclamation and Air-Wash System.

Importance: This system continuously removes contaminants (scale, rust, dust) and worn-out media. Recycling only clean, uniform media ensures a consistent surface finish, significantly reduces consumption of new media, and minimizes wear on internal components.

Power consumption varies significantly by model and capacity:

Small Tumble Blasters: May require 15 kW to 30 kW.

Medium Hook or Roller Conveyor Machines: Typically range from 50 kW to 150 kW, depending on the number of blast wheels and motor size.

We provide specific power requirements (including motors for the wheels, elevator, augers, and dust collector) in the technical specifications for each model.

We offer a comprehensive [State your Warranty period, e.g., 12 or 18 months] warranty covering mechanical and electrical components.

Support: We provide on-site commissioning, full operator training, and offer both remote diagnostic support and local service engineer deployment to minimize downtime. We guarantee the supply of genuine spare parts for the lifetime of the machine.
