Steelex International Ltd.

Shot Blasting Machine - Model 2W - 48 Pipe

Steelex International Ltd manufactures a range of pipe blast cleaning machines are designed for blasting plain pipe in high
volumes. These machines rotate the pipe while moving it through the blasting machine exposing all the outside diameter of
the pipe to the blast stream. Machines are available for blasting pipe up to 3000 meters in diameter and the machine detailed
here is for the most common range of pipe sizes from 6” (150mm) diameter to 48” (1220mm) diameter.

The blast wheels are mounted under the pipe therefore maintaining the distance from the blast wheel to the surface of the pipe
allowing a large range of pipe sizes to be efficiently cleaned with minimal adjustments. Rubber seals are provided on both the
inlet and outlet sides of the machine that are changed to suit the pipe size to minimize the escape of abrasive from the ma-
chine.

The conveyors used are variable pitch diablo

style conveyors, these consist of directly driven
rubber tires that are moved in or out to suit the
diameter of pipe to be cleaned.

The tires are also angled and the speed set to

control the through put speed. The adjustment
can be done manually or as an option hydraulic
controls can be fitted. These conveyors are de-
signed for heavy duty operation and for the ma-
chine detailed here accept weights up to 750 kgs
per linear metre. Higher capacity conveyors are
available. All machines are supplied complete
with full abrasive recovery and recycling system
and dust collectors. A PLC system controls the
operation of the machine with full interlock
safety system provided.
