A complete media recycling system Cyclones, dust collectors, classifiers and sieves

The quality of the surface finish produced on components is influenced by the condition of the recirculating media. All blast media changes its size, weight and shape after repeated impacts on the components and a consistent mix of particle size is required to maintain uniform results. This is achieved by specifying an appropriate cyclone reclamator. This allows heavier re-useable media to continuously recirculate to the blast guns whilst removing the under size particles and dust.By using high efficiency cartridge filters the latest generation of Guyson dust collectors provide good visibility in the blast chamber and a clean operating environment in the workshop. The extracted airflow drawn by the dust collector is carefully balanced with either the media reclamator or directly with the cabinet to ensure that a minimum of reusable blast media is removed.A vibrating screen classifier can be added to enhance control over particle size when tighter standards of consistency of component surface or cleanliness apply. Whilst for shot peening, media shape must be controlled by including a precisely engineered roundness classifier. When large flows of dense media have to be circulated a bucket elevator is often used as an alternative media recovery system. www.guyson.co.uk repeatable quality - Multiblast 9
