Use of Sand Blasters
|
|
| Sandblasters are machines that are used to clean surfaces, and also in reparation of surfaces. To achieve this purpose, a stream of abrasive particles from power washers is directed against the surface that is to be cleaned or prepared. To drive the blasting media, blast wheels coupled with pressurized water or compressed air is used. Various applications where sand blasters can be used are finishing, frosting/etching, surface texturing, degreasing etc. | |
Sandblasters can be specifically used for surface preparation of products that are made out of wood, metal, plastic or glass. Sandblasters also come with specialized micro-blast or micro-jet machines that are used for certain specific operations like surface preparation, material removing etc. A surface treated with blasting process by the means of sandblasters is made suitable for consequent operations requiring coating, like thermal spraying, painting, or plating. There are several components that go into the making of sand blasters. A pressure generator, with the help of a plunger pump, increases the pressure of the carrier. The abrasives are delivered from the hopper or a tank by abrasive injectors. These are sent to a blasting wheel, or alternatively to the nozzle straight away. Several specifications are used to determine the usability of sand blasters. The most important of this is the media flow that defines the rate at which the abrasive grains or sand is fed into the system. The blast pressure is the pressure the jet or the blast stream propels abrasive particles. |

Sandblasters come in various sizes and the way in which they can be mounted. While small portable blasters are also available, which can be used as handheld devices, there are other bigger blasters that need to be mounted on a bench, pedestal, cart, hand truck or floor. There are also huge sand blasters that can be mounted onto a trailer of a truck and driven to the worksite. On large and fixed surfaces, operators can guide the sandblasters for cutting or cleaning. While on smaller surfaces, the surface would require work piece loading. Such parts can be mounted on conveyors, spinners, or may be hand held or on a gantry, or a rotary table so that the surfaces can be worked upon. These days, CNC controllers and PC interfaces are also used with sand blasters to automate and streamline the delivery of abrasives. Different types of sand blasters are used for different applications. Some are used for roughening surfaces, or to clean them, or refine them. Others are used to debur sharp edges, remove flashing, wash parts etc. Certain machines are used specifically for glass and metal surfaces, and rounded media.
