WHAT MAKES A PROPER BLASTING CABINET DESIGN?

The design of the shot blasting cabinet is more than an enclosure to contain the shot blasting operation, a trigger-driven paint gun for delivery of abrasive inside and outside and an abrasive supply hose wound on the abrasive with an inlet hole the hose.

To make sure you buy the right machine the first time, buy a machine based on your application. Your decision should be reduced to wet or dry jet, siphon or direct pressure, the use of compressed air, the need for a light industrial full production machine and the type of abrasive to be used for what you are cleaning.

Professional advice: think of cabinets like vehicles. There are vehicles for city trips and easy parking, vehicles for you to feel comfortable on long trips with the family and vehicles to transport 40,000 pounds across the country day after day. Everyone has their own applications. He would not buy a Chevy Volt to transport a boat, nor would he buy an RV to make his daily trip to the office, and he should not buy an abrasive cleaning cabinet for domestic use for a production application.

The first time Google Sandblasting Cabinet can find many large tool providers with blast cabinet ads that you would use in your home if you simply buy a budget. In the industry we call these cabinets "Sight sellers." They aim to sell you what you want, low-cost shot blasting cabinet that works with that 6 cfm compressor with which you pump your tires. What you want to buy and what you need may not be of any use.

Three factors that affect the proper design of the blasting cabinet

Choose the correct size of the dust collector and the operation of the jet gun (manual, semi-automatic and automatic). Without understanding your application, you cannot select the correct dust collector and the proper cleaning functions for your machine. Someone who operates a small machine infrequently in your home garage will have very different needs than someone who operates a machine as part of a production facility or simply wants a clean area.

Selection of compressed air suitable for your application. Sandblasting cabinets use compressed air to transport the abrasive to the part being processed. The volume of CFM (compressed air) determines the friction heat created by any jet cabinet as much as the jet pressure and the abrasive determine the cleaning rates.

Match the cfm size of the gun with the cfm size of the dust collector. To do this, it is useful to deal with a company that includes the Mohs scale (mineral hardness scale) of abrasives, RMS (root means square) of the surface profile and the variables that affect frictional heat. You may not need frictional heat and a wet jet cabinet.

Making a blast containment cabinet does not require real knowledge about abrasive blasting, so you will find cabinets made of wooden boxes with a 55 gallon drum used. Keeping it safe, eliminating the high wear parts created by the process and keeping the area clean around the machine is what differentiates professional manufacturers from manufacturers of DIY cabinets found on YouTube, so we do not recommend using a DIY cabinet.

ABRASIVE BLASTING MEDIA

7 TIPS FOR CHOOSING ABRASIVE BLASTING MEDIA

Abrasive blasting, which is the process of using specialized machinery to project or "shoot" media at high speed through a hard surface, can be ideal for removing old finishes. You can also remove rust or prepare the surface to paint.

Here are 7 tips that can help you choose the best abrasive media for your specific shot blasting applications.

How to choose abrasive abrasive media

Better "soft" than sorry

If you are not sure if the surface you are cleaning can handle a more abrasive material, it is probably best to start with a softer medium. Nutshells or corncobs can be an excellent choice for softer surfaces such as wood, as they do not cause engraving. They also provide the additional benefit of being biodegradable, which makes them one of the most ecological blasting means.

Make it shine with glass beads

If you are looking for a smooth and shiny finish, glass beads may be your best option. Glass beads are generally made of thin glass of soda lime that exerts minimal stress on the surface material. Glass beads are also recyclable and can be used up to 100 times before replacement, which makes them an extremely cost effective option.

Remove paint with aluminum oxide

Aluminum oxide is harder and sharper than glass beads. It is ideal for use in paint removal and general cleaning applications. It is also frequently used for glass engraving.

Choose plastic for automotive and aerospace applications

The plastic is extremely soft, which makes it an ideal way to remove paint from the surface of fiberglass parts. Fiberglass parts are commonly used in the manufacture of automotive, aerospace and marine products, without engraving or peeling. The use of plastic for blasting also produces very low levels of dust.

Use silicon carbide for quick etching

Silicon carbide provides an extremely aggressive cutting action that is ideal for rapid etching of glass, stone or other hard surfaces. It also works well to remove rust or paint.

Find super tough and aggressive steel media

Media made of carbon steel are available in the form of shot. The steel shot is round in shape and can be used for polishing and polishing applications. Steel sand offers a more angular shape and a sharper texture. It can be used to remove rust, paint or flakes from steel surfaces.

Avoid sand

The terms "sandblasting" and "abrasive blasting" are sometimes used interchangeably. However, many companies are moving away from the sand as a means of blasting for several reasons. The sand contains silica, which is known to cause serious respiratory diseases for workers involved in the sandblasting process. In addition, the sand contains a high moisture content that can cause premature disappearance of blasting equipment.

FoxIndustries now offers abrasive blasting among its metal finishing processes. We are also available to provide reliable media selection advice.

For high-chromium grinding balls, it not only goes out but also hardens; for low and medium chrome grinding balls, it only needs tempering.

The quality standard for low chrome grinding media balls. The chromium content for low chromium grinding media balls is 0.5% to 2.5%. The carbon content is 1.8% to 3.2%. The impact value must be ≥1.5J / CM2. According to the national standard, the hardness of the medium chrome grinding media balls should be ≥45HRC. The low chrome grinding media balls should be tempered at high temperature to eliminate stress. If the surface of the low chromium grinding media balls is metallic, we can judge that these balls have not been tempered at high temperature.

It doesn't matter to produce grinding metal mill balls or grinding ball production line, both grinding balls are necessary for heat treatment.

For high-chromium grinding balls, it not only goes out but also hardens; for low and medium chrome grinding balls, it only needs tempering.
