Skew Roll Pipe Shot Blaster
The Cardinal Parts and Equipment skew roll pipe shot blaster is a sophisticated device essential for cleaning and prepping the surfaces of pipes, tubes, and cylindrical objects across various industries. This machine is designed to efficiently eliminate rust, scale, old coatings, and other contaminants, ensuring the pipes are ready for further processes like painting, coating, or welding.
The operation of a skew roll pipe shot blaster involves several precise steps for optimal cleaning. First, the pipe or tube is carefully placed on a set of angled skew rolls within the blaster. These rolls ensure that the entire surface of the pipe is evenly exposed to the blasting media during the cleaning process.
After positioning, an abrasive media, such as steel shot or grit, is blasted at high speed onto the rotating surface of the pipe. This abrasive action effectively cleans the pipe by removing contaminants and creating a rough surface suitable for further treatments. The used abrasive is then collected, cleaned, and recycled through the machine, reducing overall media consumption costs.
These systems clean pipes and other long cylindrical materials by rotating them 360 degrees while moving them through the blast chamber. They come in various sizes, accommodating pipes up to 42 inches in diameter, and offer adjustable cleaning speeds. Skew roll pipe shot blasters are crucial in industries like manufacturing, construction, oil and gas, and pipeline maintenance, providing a cost-effective solution for cleaning and preparing pipes and tubes of different sizes and materials. The unique skew roll design ensures consistent and thorough surface treatment, enhancing product quality and durability.
Key features of these machines include high cleaning capacity, short blasting times, and fully automatic processing for continuous production. They can handle various pipe lengths and diameters and are equipped with high-capacity abrasive recycling systems, rotary screen separators for removing tramp metal, and wear-resistant skew rolls. Additionally, these machines feature high-efficiency dust collectors and variable-speed feed, making them versatile for cleaning parts of almost any diameter.
