Application Range of Tumble Belt Shot Blasting Machine

The tumble belt shot blasting machine is a common surface treatment equipment widely used in the metal manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, machinery manufacturing, and other industries. It uses a high-speed rotating drum to project shot materials onto the surface of workpieces to remove surface oxide layers, weld slag, contaminants, etc., thereby achieving cleaning, increasing roughness, and improving adhesion.

The working principle of the tumble belt shot blasting machine

The tumble belt shot blasting machine is a mechanical device that accelerates various shot materials through rotating blades and impacts them onto the workpiece needing treatment. The collision between the shot materials and the workpiece surface causes plastic deformation, thereby achieving the required cleanliness. Different shot sizes can be used to meet various cleaning needs.

The tumble belt shot blasting machine mainly consists of a motor reducer, an impeller body assembly, and an elastic coupling sleeve. The upper end of the impeller body is equipped with a sorting device to separate qualified products, while the lower part is a disk-shaped directional sleeve used to position the shot impact points onto the surface of the workpiece being cleaned.

During operation, the motor drives the main shaft to rotate via belt transmission, and then the main shaft drives the actuating part to rotate at a speed of about 40 revolutions per minute. When rotated to a certain angle, the conical surface of the directional sleeve forces some shot materials to deflect to the other side and impact the workpiece surface. At the same time, the high-speed shot stream from the nozzle impacts the workpiece for cleaning purposes.
