  • Page 14: Blast Wheel

    Blast wheel The heart of the blast cleaning machine is the blast wheel which throws the abrasive onto the surface to be cleaned by using centrifugal force. The blast wheel is placed in a protective housing lined with replaceable wear plates. The blast wheel is driven by an electric motor. Around the centre of the blastwheel there is the impeller, feeding dosed quantities of abrasive onto the blades of the turning blast wheel.
  • Page 15: Abrasive Sealing

    4.12 Abrasive sealing Magnetic seals are fitted to the front and the sides of the blast housing outlet and are surrounded by brush seals. At the rear there is a seal sliding over the floor. The seals are employed to seal the blasting area in a way to avoid leakage of any abrasive.

    When the blast head is lifted from the floor, abrasive escapes from the sides of the blast head at high speed! If the machine is moved with the blast head raised, the abrasive magnetic valve must be closed! Alter the direction only after closing the magnetic valve! Operation Carry out blasting in parallel tracks in such way that the dust hose and electric cable do not become twisted.
  • Page 18: The Blast Pattern

    The blast pattern Abrasive leaving the blast wheel blades is not thrown in all directions. Scatter is restricted to an angle of about 50°. This is achieved through the use of a control cage which surrounds the impeller. The position of the window in the control cage determines the blast pattern.
