What is Automatic Drum Shot Blasting Machine, PLC Control?

An Automatic Drum Shot Blasting Machine with PLC Control is a highly efficient industrial device designed for surface cleaning, rust removal, and surface strengthening of various medium and small-sized castings, forgings, and workpieces. This machine is particularly useful for parts that are not easily broken and can withstand tumbling during the blasting process.

Key Features

1.PLC Control System:

The machine is fully automated and controlled by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), ensuring precise operation and consistent results.

It can achieve automatic operation, with features like auto-detection, auto-alarm, and auto-cutout for enhanced safety and reliability.

2.Rotating Drum Mechanism:

The rotating drum gently tumbles the workpieces, ensuring uniform exposure to the shot blasting process. This is particularly effective for small to medium-sized parts.

The drum is designed with abrasion-resistant materials and a unique “triangle” strip configuration to optimize the blasting effect.

3.High-Efficiency Blast Wheels:

Equipped with high-speed blast wheels that propel abrasive media (such as steel shot) at the workpieces, effectively removing rust, scale, and other contaminants.

4.Abrasive Recycling System:

Features an automated system for recycling and cleaning the abrasive media, reducing waste and operational costs.

5.Dust Collection System:

Integrated dust collection systems capture and filter dust generated during the blasting process, ensuring environmental compliance.

6.Loading and Unloading:

The machine can be equipped with automatic loading and unloading systems, such as hydraulic skip loaders and vibrating conveyors, to enhance efficiency.
