These are highly modern machines based on an old, proven principle. Thanks to many new technical details, the new AGTOS drum blast machines are impressive.
This type of machine is ideal for processing bulk materials. Compared to the widely used troughed belt principle, there are important advantages: as the drum is made from a single piece, transitions from moving to fixed machine parts are avoided. This prevents parts from becoming jammed. In addition, drums are easier to empty completely, which prevents individual workpieces from being processed twice.
For reasons of wear resistance, perforated manganese steel is used. The size of the holes depends on the dimensions of the workpieces and the grain size and quantity of the abrasive flowing off. Sophisticated design devices favour the mixing of the parts.
Drum blast machines Product programme
The determination of the suitable machine concept depends, among other things, on your workpieces, the required performance and, last but not least, your ideas regarding an optimised production process.
The workpieces are placed in a standard factory container. This is placed in a feeder or emptied directly. The feeder is lifted and reaches the machine door, which opens immediately. Once at the correct height, the feeder swivels and unloads the workpieces into the drum. This process can be carried out very carefully, depending on the sensitivity of the workpieces. It can be controlled by PLC or manually. This prevents damage. The drum is in the loading position at this point. Before the blasting process, the machine door closes and the drum swivels into an ideal position in front of the high-performance turbine.
