Shot Blasting Of Cylinders Prior To Metallizing Or Painting

Mecshot has successfully engineered and supplied airless type shot blasting machine for cylinder cleaning to reputed customers. The machine is simple to operate with minimum maintenance and operator has to simply load and unload the cylinders on rotating diabola rollers. The abrasive media generally used is steel shots of 25 BS mesh. Production output achieved is approx 8 to 10 of average size cylinders per minute depending on level of cleanliness desired. The external surface of LPG cylinders are required to be blast cleaned to remove rust, corrosion and for preparing desired surface roughness prior to zinc metallizing. The cylinders are finally painted just after zinc metallizing. Similarly cylinders used for other purposes like oxygen cylinders, oxyacetylene cylinders, etc, also require cleaning prior to painting or metallizing. The machine is highly productive and is featured with diabola rollers, one or two blast wheels, abrasive recovery and cleaning system, dry dust collection unit and control panel. The machine is suited for continuous working. The cylinders are placed on motorised diabola roller arrangement, which moves the cylinders forward as well as rotates inside the blast chamber. The cylinders are exposed to the abrasive blast stream through one/two blast wheel assembly for blast cleaning. The dust created during blasting is separated and collected in fabric bag dust collector and clean air is discharged to atmosphere keeping the environment clean and eco-friendly.
