Introduction
A Steel Plate Shot Blaster Machine is a specialized piece of industrial equipment designed for surface treatment of steel plates.
Applications
1.Pre - treatment for Coating : Before applying paint or other protective coatings to steel plates, it is essential to remove any surface impurities. The shot blasting machine prepares the surface by cleaning and roughening it, ensuring better adhesion of the coating material. This is widely used in the automotive, shipbuilding, and construction industries.
2.Rust Removal : In industries where steel plates are exposed to harsh environments and are prone to rusting, such as in the manufacturing of steel structures or storage tanks, the shot blasting machine is an effective tool for removing rust. It can restore the steel plate to a clean surface condition.
3.Surface Hardening : In some cases, the shot blasting process can also be used to induce surface hardening of the steel plate. The impact of the abrasive particles can cause work hardening of the surface layer, improving the wear resistance of the steel plate. This is particularly useful for steel plates that will be used in applications where they are subjected to friction and wear.
The Portable Steel Plate Shot Blaster works as follows:
1.Positioning
Place the steel plate on the machine's worktable and secure it to ensure stability during blasting.
2.Blasting
The shot blaster's wheel, with a high-speed impeller and blades, accelerates and throws shot (steel shot or grit) onto the plate. The shot impacts the surface at high speed, removing rust, scale, and dirt while creating a roughened surface for further processing.
3.Recovery and Separation
The shot falls and is collected by a recovery system, which transports it to a separator. Here, usable shot is separated from dust and broken particles, then returned to the wheel for reuse.
4.Dust Collection
A dust collection system captures and filters the dust generated during blasting, releasing clean air to maintain a clean environment.
5.Control
Operators can set parameters like blasting time and intensity via a control panel, enabling precise control of the process.
