A sufficiently effective and efficient way to clean metal surfaces from rust, oxidation or old paint is the technology of sandblasting or shot blasting. The procedure is performed using special equipment, which are sealed, noise-insulated chambers. More details about their types and technical characteristics can be found on the website http ://www.anticor-m.ru/catalog/peskostruynoe-oborudovanie/peskostruynye-drobestruynye-kamery-kabiny/drobestruynye-kamery/ Antikor-M company, which is the official supplier of the manufacturer, in the article we will tell about the types, the principle how it works and how to use it.
Schematic diagram of operation
The basic diagram of the work of shot or sandblasting equipment is to supply a jet of sand or shot to the surface to be treated under high pressure, which helps to separate rust, an oxidized layer of metal or paint and varnish without the use of chemicals and mechanical tools. There are 3 main types of cameras:
- Abrasive blasting - grit or sand moves with the air flow in the pipe (along the sleeve), at the end of which there is a converging nozzle, which increases the force on the surface.
- Shot blasting - no air jet is used in the chamber, the impact occurs only with abrasive material.
- Inhabited - cleaning is carried out in the chamber with the direct participation of the operator. They are used for cleaning parts of complex configuration.
The dimensions and power of shot blasting chambers may differ significantly depending on the size of the workpiece (surface) and the steel grade of the product. Some models can be used for cleaning not only metal products, but also wood, glass or plastic.
The selected equipment can be delivered to the address indicated by the buyer by the company's transport. If necessary, experienced staff will carry out its installation, configuration and operational start-up, as well as training of service personnel.
