Blasting cabinets

Blasting with recovery: automatic, in a container or by hand.

After chemical stripping, the wheel is blasted with corundum or steel shot: for the slight roughness that powder, primer and top coat need for adhesion, and against residues, oxidation and corrosion. Without significant material removal, because the wheel remains a safety component.

Manual blasting cabinet SMG 160D-1703

Blasting chamber (W × D × H)
1350 × 1100 × 1100 mm
Cabinet
Dust-tight negative pressure cabinet in steel; two double-walled, foam-insulated, lockable side doors with electric safety cut-out
Gloves
Special rubber, cotton-lined, fixed to the cabinet
Controls
ON/OFF for extraction and light, pressure regulator, pressure gauge, foot switch
Viewing window
Safety glass 500 × 320 mm, replaceable without tools; LED lighting
Blasting system
High-performance blasting gun system with foot pedal; blow-off nozzles for workpieces; pressure blasting system with various pot sizes incl. recovery

Type 255, split, rubberised, coarse sieve with ring magnet; TÜV-tested pressure vessel 100 l, Ø approx. 480 mm, separate from the negative pressure chamber; metering valve and ball valve; storage hopper above the vessel
Fill level information system
Siemens LOGO module evaluates level sensors (dust bucket full, media max., media min.): visual signal and blasting stop
Energy saving function
Separate timers for light (default 5 min) and extraction (10 min), reactivation by foot pedal; opening the door switches the light on
Maintenance
Maintenance indicator lamp flashes after 1,000 operating hours, reset by service

Advantages of recovery: lower consumption, continuous cleaning, separation of coarse dirt and iron, constant media quality, reproducible surface, effective cyclone.

Blasted wheels

Fine blasting as preparation for every coating: oxidation and residual paint are completely removed afterwards.

What all three systems have in common

  • High throughput

    Designed for the wheel business, not for occasional blasting.

  • Reduced media consumption

    Recovery and reconditioning keep the blasting media in circulation.

  • Frequency-controlled filter cleaning

    Fewer filter changes, constant extraction capacity.

  • From our own workshop

    All systems also run in our wheel refurbishment in Dietzenbach.
