Shot Blasting Machine for Casting Shell Removal

There are many methods of removing casting shell, insulation and sand from casting products including impact, water-jetting, shake, shot blasting etc. Shot blasting is a surface treatment process using high velocity metal abrasives to impact the surface of metal products, which can obtain excellent cleaning and surface preparation.
Shot Blasting Machine for investment casting shell removal includes shot blasting chamber, blast wheel (high velocity type), work-piece lifting system, screw conveyor, bucket elevator, magnetic separator, air wash separator, dust collector, Raymond mill breaker, vibrating Screen Separator & electrical control system.

Shot Blasting Used for Casting Shell Removal in investment casting, precision casting, sand casting, lost wax casting, lost foam casting
● Remove Sand from Casting
● Remove Casting Shell & Insulation from casting
● Prepare Surface for coating, cutting, maching etc
In general, shot blasting concentrates metal abrasive at high speed (80~110m/s) at the surface of casting thereby remove casting shell due to the metal abrasives strong impact.

  ◆ Specifications

◆ Advantages 
High-efficiency cleaning: Shot peening machines can quickly remove casting shells, sand molds, and oxide scale from the surface of castings, improving cleaning efficiency and making them suitable for large-volume casting processing.
Uniform treatment: The automated control system ensures the uniformity and consistency of shot peening, thoroughly removing impurities from the casting surface and improving cleaning results.
Enhanced surface quality: After shot peening, the casting surface develops a suitable roughness, which is beneficial for the adhesion of subsequent coatings and paints, improving the durability of the workpiece.
Energy saving and environmental protection: Shot peening machines use a high-efficiency abrasive circulation system, reducing resource waste and avoiding the use of chemical cleaning agents, meeting environmental protection requirements.
Automated operation: The equipment's automated control system significantly reduces manual operation, improves production efficiency, and ensures consistent cleaning results.
