are constructed from high-grade, wear-resistant materials to ensure extended service life and consistent productivity in metal-industry applications. During operation, the steel shot used for cleaning abrades both the workpiece and the internal surfaces of the machine. To minimize this inevitable wear, components in contact with the abrasive are manufactured from materials specifically engineered for high abrasion resistance. This design approach reduces internal wear to the lowest possible level and maximizes machine reliability. </li> <li><strong>1. Main Cabinet </strong> <ul> <li>Entry Opening: 43.3" × 35.4"</li> <li>Maximum Blasting Width: 31.5"</li> <li>Maximum Blasting Height: 39.4"</li> <li>Maximum Blasting Length: 9.8 ft – 78.7 ft</li> <li>Internal Lining: 0.31" manganese plates</li> </ul> </li> <li>The main cabinet is built from 0.39" (10 mm) thick steel plate. The interior walls of the blasting chamber are fully lined with 0.24" (6 mm) manganese plates for wear protection. Both the inlet and outlet tunnels are fitted with high-quality rubber curtains to prevent steel shot from escaping. Four turbines are mounted on the cabinet at optimal angles for uniform blasting coverage.<br> </li> <li><strong>2. Operation Program</strong></li> <li>The power panel is designed for automatic operation. Using a Schneider control panel, the blasting process runs automatically according to the programmed intermittent relay settings.</li> <li>Panel Protection Level: IP54 <ul> <li>Applied Standards:</li> <li>IEC 61439 (Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies – Part 1)</li> <li>IEC 60529 (Degrees of protection provided by enclosures)</li> </ul> </li> <li>Applied Directives: <ul> <li>2006/95/EEC (Low Voltage Directive)</li> <li>93/68/EEC (CE Marking Directive)</li> </ul> </li> <li>This configuration ensures reliable automated operation, compliance with international safety standards, and consistent blasting performance.<br> </li> <li><strong>3.

The internal surfaces are lined with 16–18% manganese steel plates, cast to specifications for high abrasion resistance. The blades, funnel, and shot distributor, which are in direct contact with the abrasive, are manufactured to Ni-Hard 4 quality for extended wear life. Each turbine is fitted with 8 blades for optimal shot distribution and performance. <br> </li> <li><strong>4.
