CENTRIFUGAL BLAST WHEEL

WHEEL: An efficiently designed single-sided blast wheel minimizes the overhung load on the motor and reduces the time required to change blades, impellers, and control cage. The standard blast wheel measures 10” in diameter and features four curved blades for optimal abrasive control. All components are balanced to ensure smooth operation. With a high horsepower-to-weight ratio, this system enhances abrasive delivery efficiency per unit of horsepower.

MOTOR: Direct drive motor revolves at 3600 RPM. Taper lock brushed motor shaft with NEMA tolerance.

BLADES: Our innovative Snap lock system simplifies blade replacement without the need for any tools. Crafted from abrasive-resistant alloy in our in-house foundry, our curved blades offer optimal abrasive control. Cardinal shot blast wheels facilitate effortless blade replacement.

CONTROL CAGE: Dial type cage for ease of targeting the abrasive flow. 

WHEEL HOUSING: Our wheel housings are made from durable steel plate and are fully lined with replaceable cast chrome manganese alloy liners produced in our own foundry.

TABLE CONSTRUCTION

TABLE: Our 48-inch rotating table, constructed from a durable 1/2-inch steel plate and complemented by a 3/8-inch AR400 replaceable table liner. Enhance your setup with optional features such as a Variable Speed Drive and premium manganese table liners.

MAXIMUM WORKING DIMENSIONS:  The ideal working dimensions for blasting are 45 inches wide by 36 inches high, with a maximum capacity of 48 inches in diameter and 40 inches in height. The vertical door opening measures 52-7/8 inches. The work loading height is set at 30.25 inches, with a generous capacity of 5,000 pounds.

CABINET CONSTRUCTION

CABINET: Crafted from durable abrasion-resistant plate, this shot blaster is engineered to withstand the toughest conditions. Tramp metal is efficiently collected on the lower abrasive screens, ensuring smooth operation. For added convenience, the cabinet is notched to accommodate an overhead hoist, making loading more efficient. 

DOOR: Air operated power lock. Abrasive resistant door.

ABRASIVE RECYCLING SYSTEM

ELEVATOR: Our belt and bucket elevator features centrifugal discharge and is outfitted with a 5-inch elevator belt along with poly buckets. The screw-adjusted shaft take-ups guarantee accurate belt alignment. The abrasive shot blast media is efficiently conveyed by the buckets to the hopper positioned above the machine, where the media will flow to the shot blast wheel.

CABINET SCREEN  Our standard lower and upper screens feature a 1/4” mesh size. For our 48″ table blasters, we provide the option of adding a Rotary Screen. The Rotary Screen consists of a metal drum with 1/4″ perforations and an internal auger, specifically designed to effectively screen larger debris from the Media and discharge it out of the system. The screened Media then proceeds through to the hopper. In the presence of the rotary screen, the primary lower screen is upgraded to 1/2” mesh size for enhanced screening efficiency.

ABRASIVE CONTROL VALVE: Totally enclosed butterfly valves are air cylinder operated. Fully adjustable for abrasive flow control.

ABRASIVE SEPARATOR: The Single 14” Lip Separator, also known as a media air wash, efficiently removes fines and dust from blasting media, ensuring only clean, heavy media is recycled through the shot blast wheel. As media is returned to the hopper above the blast wheel, it spreads into a waterfall, creating a thin blanket of flowing media. A dust collector then pulls air across this stream, eliminating unwanted particles and allowing clean media to return to the abrasive hopper, ready for reuse. This process maintains high-quality blasting media, enhancing the effectiveness and longevity of the blasting operation.

ABRASIVE REQUIRED: 1,500 pounds in three, 5HP wheel configuration. 

VENTILATION

DUST COLLECTION: Efficiently removes dust-laden air from the equipment, promoting a cleaner work environment. The shot blaster is equipped with a 14-inch lip separator that effectively segregates fine particles and dust from larger abrasives, ensuring the cleanliness of the media as it cycles back through the blasting system. Dust collection units are available as standalone units or can be mounted directly onto the machine. If you already have your own collector, rest assured that the blaster’s controls are prewired and configured to seamlessly accommodate any appropriately sized collector. This particular unit necessitates the utilization of a 1200 CFM collector, up to 3HP.

ELECTRICAL CONTROLS

CONTROL PANEL: 

• Type 12 electrical enclosure.
• Thermal overload protection for all motors.
• Standard 230/460 volt ammeter.
• Oil tight push button controls.
• Timer controls the abrasive flow.
• Touch Screen PLC Controls.

SAFETY FEATURES: The blast wheel operates exclusively when the door is shut. An air lock mechanism ensures that the cabinet door remains securely closed throughout the blasting process. With an adjustable time delay feature, the flow of abrasives serves as a brake on the blast wheel before the door can be safely opened.

ELECTRIC MOTORS: All motors are totally enclosed, and fan cooled to provide maximum life. Optional 230/460 volt 3-phase.
