What is Shot blasting?


Shot blasting is a rapid, environment friendly, cost
effective surface finishing method which is used for
cleaning or polishing metal or other surface by applying
high speed stream of shot. In this method, role of shot is to
remove impurities, rust, scattered pieces of rubbish or
remains that may affect metal strength. This method is
carried out to prevent metal fatigue or cracking as well as
for cleaning and surface hardening.
Shot blast machine
 Shot blast machine mainly consist of six basic parts: blast wheel,
cabinet, work handling mechanism, elevator, separator, dust collector.
Different machine are used for different purposes like table type
machine is used for heavy components and portable air operated
machine is used for cleaning casting. The numbers of wheels installed
in machine depends on the type of job to be shot blasted and rate of
work. Role of shot also depends on work For example:
 A smaller size steel shot can be used to produce smooth polished
surface while large shot can be used to remove heavy flash. In most
industries shot blasting works by using wheel with paddle type blades
that propel steel shot at surface with high velocity. This entire process is
done in an enclosed chamber that separates the dust which is sent to
separate dust collector. This entire process is controlled by many factors
such as shot impact force, size of shot, rate of machine level and
concentration used. Blast machines are used in welded construction
industries by facility owners for cleaning, controlling of corrosion and
