Another name for sandblasting machine

Sandblasting, sometimes known as abrasive blasting, is a device that uses high-speed abrasives (such as sand, steel shot, ceramic beads, etc.) to clean, strengthen or modify the surface of a workpiece. It accelerates the abrasive to the surface of the workpiece through compressed air, mechanical centrifugal force or liquid power, and is widely used in metal processing, surface treatment, pre-treatment of coatings and other fields.

What are the main types of sandblasting machines?
1. Pneumatic sandblasting machine
- Use compressed air to drive abrasive spraying, suitable for precision machining and small workshop.
2. Centrifugal sandblasting machine (shot blasting machine)
- The abrasive is centrifugally thrown out through a high-speed rotating impeller, suitable for large-scale and large-area processing (such as steel plates and castings).
3. Wet sandblasting machine
- The abrasive is mixed with water and then sprayed to reduce dust pollution, suitable for scenes with high environmental protection requirements.
- Commonly used for brittle materials such as glass and ceramics.
4. Vacuum sandblasting machine
- Comes with a recovery system, no dust leakage, suitable for on-site maintenance or indoor operations.

Safety protection

The high risk of sandblasting requires a combination of "equipment protection + personal protection + management measures":
1. Operators must wear a full set of PPE (especially respiratory protection).
2. Equipment must be sealed, dust-proof, explosion-proof, and regularly maintained.
3. The environment must be ventilated, noise-reduced, and strictly trained and supervised.
