Turbine Blast Cleaning System (Blast Wheel)
The mechanical blast wheel with blades, often called a "turbine", represents one of the main parts of an automatic high-performance machine that does not require an operator. This type of equipment is called a "blast cleaning system", based on the process used, i.e. primarily metal shots.
Operating Principles
Once the turbines are activated, the shots break away from the surface, run down the blades and produce a projection curve. When the shot leaves the impeller, it travels in a straight line.
The blasting power varies based on the mass and speed of the shots being blasted. It is therefore influenced by kinetic energy. A single turbine has the capacity to blast large quantities of abrasive.
Each unit is composed of:
- A shot and dust separator system
- A mechanical or pneumatic conveying system
- A dust collecting system
- A feeding system
Here are a few examples of turbine blasting cleaning system models:
- Conveyor blast cleaning system
- Rotating drum blast cleaning system
- Suspended load blast cleaning system
- Table blast cleaning system
