Shot blasting machine loading and unloading system Superbelt®

Shot-blasting is an essential part of most foundry operations. Shot peening treatment not only removes the oxide skin and sand from the casting surface to get castings ready for subsequent processing, but it is also essential to ensure their quality by finding the surface defects. Automating the casting loading and unloading operations with a properly selected conveyor system helps optimize shot blast processes by improving uptime, enhancing productivity, and cutting operating and maintenance costs. Tailored to meet application requirements, the Superbelt® conveyor offers great flexibility and can be installed in new plants or easily fitted to existing blast equipment. The Superbelt® is a steel belt conveyor made up of partially overlapping steel pans securely bolted on a patented steel double-wire mesh system. The belt design is based on a multi-link concept that ensures redundancy, little to no maintenance, and trouble-free continuous operation. Even if the mesh is severely damaged, the conveyor will keep on running without sudden failures till the scheduled maintenance. The unmatched reliability also results in greater efficiency and uptime during 24/7, year-round operation.
