Belt sandblaster for the treatment of bulk parts

General Presentation

The belt sandblaster is an essential industrial machine for the treatment and cleaning of medium and small sized metal and plastic pieces. This machine, available in various sizes starting from a feeding mouth of 800 mm up to exceeding 2,000 mm, is particularly suitable for processing die-cast aluminium, steel and brass mouldings, iron details, plastic materials (thermosetting), springs, connecting rods and shafts. Buying a used carpet sandblaster is an excellent opportunity to optimize your production at a low cost, without compromising the quality of the work.

Visual Appearance and Construction

Visually, the belt sandblaster appears as a robust metal structure, designed to resist wear and impacts typical of the industry. The upper part is equipped with a feeding belt which facilitates the introduction of the pieces to be treated. The access doors are designed to ensure quick and easy maintenance, while the finishes are generally of high quality, offering a professional and refined appearance.

Main Components

The sandblaster is composed of:

• Conveyor belt : available in different widths, made of durable material and designed to withstand the abrasives used.
• Sandblasting chamber : where the treatment of the pieces takes place, equipped with nozzles for projecting the abrasive.
• Filtration system : to keep the working environment clean and safe.
• Suction unit : essential for eliminating the dust generated during the sandblasting process.

Dimensions and Mechanical Characteristics

The dimensions vary according to the model, but for a standard sandblaster indicative measurements can be considered such as:

• Feeding mouth width : 800 mm to over 2000 mm.
• Height of the sandblasting chamber : variable, typically between 600 and 1200 mm.
• Air consumption : depends on the model, but can vary between 600 and 1200 litres/min.

Usage Procedure

Using the carpet sandblaster is a simple but efficient process. Here is a short guide:

1. Preparation : Make sure the carpet and nozzles are clean and in good condition.
2. Setting : Adjusts the speed of the belt and the pressure of the abrasive based on the material to be treated.
3. Loading : Place the pieces on the conveyor belt.
4. Starting : Turn on the machine and start the sandblasting cycle.
5. Monitoring : Monitor the process and make adjustments if necessary.

Matching accessories

It is possible to combine various accessories with the sandblaster, including:

• Automatic loading systems to improve efficiency.
• Cyclone filters for better dust extraction.
• Safety devices such as barriers and guards to ensure operator safety.

Optimal Use Parameters

To ensure efficient use of the sandblaster, it is possible to use mathematical formulas that take into account:

• Belt speed : V = D / T, where V is speed, D is distance and T is time.
• Air consumption : Q = P * A / 1000, where Q is the consumption, P the pressure and A the section.

Maintenance

Good maintenance of the belt sandblaster includes:

• Regular inspection of the carpet : replace any damaged parts.
• Cleaning the sandblasting chamber : remove abrasive residues.
• Filtration system inspection : Replace filters when necessary.

Safety Regulations

It is essential that the machine complies with current safety regulations. If there are no indications attesting to CE conformity, it is advisable:

• Install safety devices to prevent accidents.
• Conduct risk assessments to ensure a safe working environment.

Sectors of Use

The belt sandblaster finds application in various sectors, including:

• Automotive industry : for the treatment of metal components.
• Aerospace : for the preparation of critical parts.
• Manufacture of equipment : for cleaning and preparing surfaces.

Conclusion

Buying a used carpet sandblaster is an advantageous option. Not only do you get a high-quality machine, but you can also save significantly compared to purchasing a new model. The reliability and high performance of a Cogeim or other renowned brands guarantee a safe investment for any company. Investing in used machinery allows you to make the most of your production capabilities, making the manufacturing process more efficient and less expensive.
