Automating

Automated dry blasting installations

If the same parts go through the cabinet every day, the operator blasts every part again by hand. An automated installation runs the same path, the same distance and the same time on every part.

The standard range

Four forms of automated blasting

Which form fits depends on how your parts move through the installation.

Transit installations

Parts travel through the blasting zone, vertically or horizontally. For batches that keep arriving without a break.

Satellite cabinets

Parts rotate on satellites through the abrasive stream. Every face gets its turn without anyone turning them over.

Barrel blast machines

Small parts tumble together in a barrel. For bulk work where positioning each part is unnecessary.

Oscillation systems

The nozzles move horizontally or vertically across the part. For surfaces that need an even treatment.

Robotisation

When a robot takes over

If no standard version fits, we put together a robotised installation and match the blasting process to your parts. Delivered turnkey and commissioned, with training for your operators.

  • 1

    More parts per hour

    The robot blasts at a constant speed, with no pause between two parts.

  • 2

    Also the places nobody reaches

    Cavities, inner corners and the back of a part are treated as precisely as the front.

  • 3

    Every part the same

    Same path, same distance, same time. The result is reproducible and the quality stays constant.

  • 4

    Traceable

    The parameters are recorded automatically and sent to your software. You can show for every part how it was treated.

  • From standard to custom

    Give us your part, your cycle time and your current method, and we will see which of the four forms above comes closest to your line.

Consumables

Which abrasive an automated installation handles

In a closed installation with recuperation the abrasive is reused day after day. The choice sets the service life of the nozzles as much as the final surface.

From our own warehouse

We keep abrasives, spare parts and protective equipment in stock, so you order them from the same partner as the installation.

  • Steel shot and steel grit
  • Aluminium oxide and ceramic beads
  • Glass beads for a matt surface
  • Nozzles and wear parts
  • Cartridge filters for the dust extraction
  • Blasting tapes and masking material
