The shot blasting process in casting requires an effective ratio of steel shot and steel grit to produce qualified products. So, how should steel shot and steel grit be proportioned? As the shot blasting process in casting progresses, a large amount of steel grit flies out through the gaps in the chamber of the hook-type shot blasting machine. This causes unnecessary waste and can also lead to injuries from flying steel shot and grit. Reaguan suggests you pay attention to the following three points to avoid this:
1. Properly proportion steel shot and steel grit to increase their fluidity, reduce the residence time of steel grit in the shot blasting chamber, and create a good circulation process.
2. Properly arrange the tooling for blasting the workpiece so that the steel grit is projected onto the surface of the workpiece, reducing damage caused by steel grit impacting the chamber's protective plate.
3. The maintenance worker of the hook-type shot blasting machine should regularly check the condition of the shot blasting machine. If the shot blasting machine chamber is damaged, the protective plate and sealing strip of the shot blasting machine chamber should be replaced in time to avoid greater waste.
