Overhead conveyor blast machine

An overhead conveyor blast machine is a special type of blast machine that is used to continuously blast parts or workpieces while they are suspended from a rail system. This type of blast machine is particularly suitable for mass production and the processing of large or heavy workpieces, as it provides an automated and efficient solution for surface treatment.

The basic principle of an overhead conveyor blast machine is that the parts to be processed are suspended from specially designed hangers or baskets that move along a rail system. As the parts are transported through the system, they are continuously treated by blasting nozzles or guns with abrasive that is accelerated with compressed air or another medium. This removes or cleans the material from the surface to achieve the desired surface properties.

Overhead shot blast machines can be used for various applications and materials, including metals, plastics, composites and more. They are particularly suitable for the removal of rust, paint, coatings and other contaminants, as well as for surface preparation prior to subsequent processes such as coating, painting or bonding.

The advantage of an overhead conveyor blast machine is its continuous and automated operation, which ensures high productivity and efficiency. As the parts are in motion during the blasting process, large quantities of workpieces can be processed in a short time, which reduces throughput times and lowers overall costs. In addition, the automated control of the system allows precise control over the blasting parameters, resulting in consistent and high quality results.

Overall, overhead conveyor blast machines provide an efficient and reliable solution for industrial surface treatment by enabling continuous and automated processing of large quantities of workpieces.
