How does a sand blasting machine work?

For effective sand blasting work, it has become mandatory to know about the sandblasting machine’s equipment and its operation processes. If you are an owner of a company or your job profile is related to sand blasting machine work, you must read this article. In this article, we are going to cover almost all the details related to sand blasting machine equipment and its work processes. But before we describe it let me also tell you something more about it. Sand blasting is also called Abrasive blasting. There are several variants of its process, such as bead blasting, sandblasting, shot blasting and soda blasting, etc.

Sand blasting Machine’s Operation:
Abrasive blasting is a method of propelling abrasive using compressed gas or pressurized liquid as the propellant. There are numerous generic terms for this application usually it is related to the abrasive media used. General terms include sandblasting, shot blasting, bead blasting, and soda blasting.

The Sand Blasting Operation Requires a Diversity of Equipment:
Portable Blast Equipment:
The pressurized vessel is mostly used in applications involving that contains the abrasive and meters it into the compressed air stream. Wet blasting is performed by injecting the abrasive into a pressurized water stream or creating a slurry of abrasive and water that is pressurized or included into a compressed air stream.

Automated Blasting:

It is an automated blasting that provides surface preparation and coating applications under cover to minimize the effects nature can have on prepared steel, with minimum or no impact on the environment.

Blast Cabinet:

A typical blast cabinet, it is consists of four components; the containment, the abrasive blasting system, the abrasive recycling system, and the dust collection. Essentially it is a closed-loop system in that an operator can blast the part and also recycle the abrasive. The operator blasts the parts from the outside of the cabinet by placing his arms in gloves attached to glove holes on the cabinet, a view window for viewing the component, and, typically, turning the blast on and off using a foot pedal or treadle.
