Vertical shotblaster is space-efficient

Designed for manufacturers with limited space, the Vertical Roller Conveyor Shot Blast Machine (Type: RB 4000-5.3/8/11) is capable of treating steel sheets from 0.5 m to 5 m wide, blasting both sides of the workpiece simultaneously. At less than 5 m wide it is half the size of its standard horizontal counterparts and the innovative format allows a reduced blast time, increasing production efficiency.

The machine fits easily into production lines and its specialist make-up consisting of a conveyor, turntable and crane enables horizontal steel to be brought into the correct vertical position before entering the blast chamber.

Suitable for all types of abrasives, the machine holds the steel sheet at an 80-degree angle and can be fitted with up to eight blast turbines.

One of the benefits of vertical blasting is the abrasive media rolls off, eliminating the need for brushing or cleaning afterwards. This saves time and allows the machine to be even more compact, as there is no need for an integral cleaning station.

In a vertical configuration the blast wheels can be positioned at the same distance away from the workpiece, giving a uniform finish and making the entire manufacturing process more efficient.
