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.
MILL CONSTRUCTION
CONVEYOR: our premium Continuous Molded Rubber Tumble Belt, featuring a durable 3-ply construction, standard 5/16” diameter abrasive drain holes, and rubber tumbling ridges for enhanced performance, variable speed drive.. Customize your setup with a range of optional drain hole sizes to suit your specific needs.
CONVEYOR ROLLERS: Our robust Heavy Duty Rollers boast sturdy 1-3/16” solid shafts and are secured to the cabinet with standard 4-bolt flange bearings for optimal stability. The 24” diameter barrel heads are crafted from 3/8” abrasive-resistant steel, complemented by tight-sealing cabinet liners that are easily removable for convenient belt access. Explore the optional cast liner package to further enhance your setup and elevate your machine durability and performance.
CONVEYOR SPEED: 12 FT/MIN, variable speed available
CAPACITY: 30” wide by 24” diameter mill will handle 2.5 cubic feet or 250 pounds.
CABINET CONSTRUCTION
CABINET: Crafted from durable 1/4” steel plate, our cabinet construction promises unparalleled durability and reliability. Thoughtfully designed access holes on the sides make belt and liner replacement a breeze, enhancing 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.
DOOR: Air operated power lock. 1/4” abrasive resistant door.
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.
ABRASIVE CONTROL VALVE: Totally enclosed butterfly valves are air cylinder operated. Fully adjustable for abrasive flow control.
ABRASIVE SEPARATOR: The Single 10” 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: 200 pounds.
VENTILATION
DUST COLLECTION: Effectively eliminates dust-laden air from the machine, ensuring a cleaner work environment. It incorporates a single 10-inch lip separator that efficiently separates fines and dust from larger abrasives, keeping the media clean as it is returned to the blast system. Additionally, the machine features an integrated 400 CFM Dust Collector that is securely mounted for stability and optimal performance.
ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
CONTROL PANEL:
- Type 12 electrical enclosure.
- Thermal overload protection for all motors.
- Standard 230/460 volt ammeter.
