Floor Shot Blasting Machine

●Shot Delivery System: This controls how the chosen shot is physically applied to the metal in question. This comes in two forms, either through compressed air or through an enclosed centrifuge. If the shot is applied through a compressed air unit, this can be mounted on a mechanical arm or applied manually. This helps with delicate work on smaller or unusually shaped objects. If a centrifuge is deployed, this involves the use of as many individual turbines as required to properly cover the object in question. This is commonly utilised in an enclosed system, providing maximum safety but potentially causing issues with full coverage if the object is irregularly sized or positioned incorrectly.

●Material Recovery System: If shot is not continuously recycled, the process becomes highly inefficient and uneconomical. As a result, any shot blasting system should deploy a material recovery element that allows for 'constant cleaning'. This is normally enabled through a collection mechanism that captures fallen shot, feeding it back into the blasting equipment. This is then filtered internally in the machine to remove contaminants from the metal shot before adding it back into the machine for repeated use.

●Air Filtration System: One of the major risks of conducting shot blasting comes from the tiny particles that can fragment and enter the air. This can create a poor working environment and should be controlled to mitigate risk. . This may involve the deployment of baffles, replaceable cartridges, or both. It is essential that the dust collector is checked to ensure it is fit for purpose as the production of high-volume contaminants can result in a drop-off in efficiency and the introduction of risk to the work.

●Blasting Area: This is normally handled by having shot blasting take place in a blast cabinet, preventing any risks of contamination or spillage from the work. These are also made from hardened materials to prevent high velocity shot from penetrating the cabinet or ricocheting around inside the space and causing damage to equipment or operators. These can also be sealed, reducing air pressure, and preventing contaminants from entering the air of the workspace.

●Transport: When shot blasting is undertaken, it is critically important that the material being blasted is safely and correctly secured via the workpiece transport system. This normally involves turn blast machines for bulk work or spinner hanger machines for larger, denser pieces. If the work involves high-velocity peening, it is important to seek out specialised equipment to ensure that it will not be damaged by the peening shot and that there is a way to safely ensure even coverage without placing the operator at risk.

●Control Unit: This allows the operator to start, stop, and manage the shot blasting process. If automation is possible, it is still important for the operator to understand the process involved with manually starting the machinery and its safe operation for the task at hand. As with all industrial equipment, every operator should be fully familiar with the emergency stop functionality on the system and the location of the emergency stop button on the shop floor.

Look after the distribution components and replace it, in case the abrasion is more than 3mm.
Check out the orientation sleeves and change it, if the openings are more than 6mm.

The operation of the equipment is strictly enforced by the fixed-term training on duty, familiar with the performance and characteristics of the machine.

Familiar with the operating procedures, use, repair, and maintenance of the shot blasting machine manual.

The operator must check the control cabinet (panel) all kinds of switches in the required setting position (including the power switch) before the machine can be turned on, in order to avoid misuse, damage to electrical and mechanical equipment, resulting in equipment accidents.

Non-machine operators must not operate or touch the electrical switch control area at will, and must not be close to the machine work area to avoid accidents.

Operators must wear protective work clothes, glasses, etc.

When the operator starts the machine, pay special attention to the indication of all kinds of instruments in the panel, and only when the indication of each instrument reaches the normal value can the operator operate the small crane (roller conveyor) to enter the working procedure? If you find that the individual instrument indication has a large error (not normal) immediately shut down. Check the equipment fault processing before normal start-up work.

In the operation of the equipment, the operator must inspect this equipment to check whether there is an abnormal sound and overheating phenomenon of each part. When a serious fault is found in the operation of the equipment, press the "emergency stop" button to shut down for repair and cooperate with the professional staff to troubleshoot the equipment.

Operators must carry out daily maintenance and weekly maintenance (including lubrication) of this equipment according to "equipment management". Clean up the dust and debris in the dust collector in time every week so as not to affect the quality of dust removal and to ensure the integrity of the equipment.

Operators must achieve civilized and safe production while strictly enforcing the shift changeover system.

At the end of work, immediately cut off the power switch of the machine so as not to make the equipment in operation. And clean up the worksite.
