Error of operation of shot blasting machine

Almost all industries that require surface treatment of workpieces cannot do without shot blasting machines. With the wide application of shot blasting machines in various industries, some companies have misunderstandings about the operation and use of shot blasting equipment. The following is a misunderstanding about shot blasting operation.

  Firstly, many companies pay attention to the speed of shot blasting when purchasing shot blasting machines. After all, the faster the shot blasting speed, the higher the work efficiency.Because the kinetic energy generated by the faster speed is also greater, the shot blasting efficiency will be better. 

But we can’t pursue the shot blasting speed blindly, because the fast speed also means the high wear rate of the equipment in the shot blasting operation. If the shot blasting operation is always high-strength and high-speed, the service life of the equipment may be reduced sharply.

  Secondly, another misunderstanding of shot blasting equipment is the size of the steel shot. The factors that determine the kinetic energy of steel shots are speed and quality. Therefore, many companies will give priority to shot blasting equipment with large steel shot sizes.

The larger the steel shot, the better the shot blasting effect, but the coverage rate of the thrown steel shot is reduced significantly.If it is a precision workpiece, it will affect the processing effect. Therefore, the size of the steel shot should be determined according to the content of the job.We should pay attention to the content of steel shot.

  Therefore, when purchasing shot blasting equipment, it is necessary to combine the content of future operations to choose, instead of choosing shot blasting equipment with fast shots or large steel shots blindly.
