CENTRIFUGAL BLAST WHEEL

 

WHEEL:  Two efficiently designed single-sided blast wheels 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 tools. Crafted from abrasion-resistant alloy in our in-house foundry, our curved blades offer optimal abrasive control. Cardinal shot blast wheels allow for 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.

 

Blast Cabinet   Crafted from durable ¼” steel plate, our cabinet construction promises unparalleled durability and reliability. Thoughtfully designed access doors allow for maintenance efficiency. Additionally, tramp metal is effectively captured on lower abrasive screens, ensuring that large debris is meticulously filtered out before it can reach the abrasive hopper, maintaining optimal blasting performance and equipment longevity.

 

Chamber Lining   The Cardinal 2430 single chamber spinner hanger is lined with abrasive resistant  liners, providing exceptional durability and wear resistance. For those seeking tailor-made solutions, optional liner upgrade packages are available to customize the spinner hangers to specific processes and applications, ensuring optimal performance and longevity in diverse industrial environments.

 

MATERIAL HANDLING

 

Hook Spindle   The continual rotation of the hook spindle during the blasting operation ensures comprehensive exposure of all parts to the blast pattern. This consistent movement allows for even coverage, eliminating blind spots and ensuring that every surface of the parts receives the necessary treatment. By maintaining a uniform blast, the system enhances the quality and consistency of the finish, leading to superior results. Furthermore, this design maximizes the efficiency of the blasting process, reducing the time required and improving overall productivity. 

 

Hook Spindle   Maximum area provided for material to be blasted is 24” diameter x 24” long. 1,000 pounds maximum capacity. Spindle speed, variable. 

 

ABRASIVE RECYCLING SYSTEM

 

ELEVATOR    The bucket elevator system features cast iron sheaves and metal-stamped buckets. Our design ensures precise tracking and simple adjustments by employing a heavy-duty C-section banded V-belt elevator belt with a multi-cord construction. The abrasive shot blast media is transported by the metal-stamped buckets to the hopper situated above the machine. All of our shot blast media hoppers come with a screen to prevent larger debris from entering the shot blast wheel.

 

Optional Rotary Screen   Our standard lower and upper screens feature a 1/2” mesh size. 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. 

 

Abrasive Control Valve   Totally enclosed butterfly valves are air cylinder operated. Fully adjustable for abrasive flow control.

 

Abrasive Separator   The optional Single 12” 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   500 pounds.

VENTILATION 

Dust Collection Effectively eliminates dust-laden air from the machine, ensuring a cleaner work environment. Able to be incorporated with a single 12-inch lip separator that efficiently separates fines and dust from larger abrasives, keeping the media clean as it is returned to the blast system. The machine requires a 1200 CFM dust collector, sold separately. Collector control circuit pre-wired on all Cardinal Shot blasters for easy integration. 

 

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.
