Capabilities and Applications of Automatic Pass Through Sand
Blasting Machine with Conveyor The automatic pass-through conveyor sand blasting machine is a highly automated surface processing unit developed for the
continuous treatment of metallic and non-metallic workpieces.
Equipped with fixed conveying systems including belt, wire mesh and
roller conveyors, it transports components into an enclosed
blasting chamber. Inside the sealed cabinet, compressed air propels
abrasives to bombard workpiece surfaces, fulfilling tasks such as
surface cleaning, texturing and compressive strengthening.
Well-suited for mass production of medium and small flat or
regularly shaped parts, this equipment delivers remarkable
processing efficiency alongside stable, uniform finishing quality. Core Capabilities - Fully Automated Continuous Processing
- The conveyor system realizes seamless feeding and unloading of
workpieces, removing manual operation throughout the whole workflow
from loading and blasting to finished part discharging. Capable of
stable 24-hour non-stop operation, it greatly elevates production
efficiency and perfectly fits high-volume batch manufacturing
requirements.
- Conveyor travel speed is fully adjustable, allowing flexible
coordination with blasting intensity. This ensures workpieces made
of various materials and in different sizes can obtain adequate
surface treatment, effectively avoiding under-blasting or excessive
over-blasting issues.
- High-Precision Surface Cleaning and Roughening
- Effectively removes surface contaminants such as rust, oxide scale, welding slag, mold release agent residues, and
old paint films from workpieces. It can handle flat parts (e.g., steel plates,
aluminum alloy panels), castings, forgings, and stamping parts with
uniform cleaning results.
- Creates a uniform rough surface (Ra 3.2–12.5 μm adjustable) on the
workpiece surface, which significantly enhances the adhesion of
subsequent coatings (painting, spraying, electroplating) and avoids
coating peeling.
- Strong Adaptability to Workpiece Specifications
- Conveyor types can be customized according to workpiece
characteristics:
- Mesh belt conveyor: Suitable for small, light workpieces (e.g., hardware accessories,
fasteners, small castings).
- Roller conveyor: Suitable for heavy, flat workpieces (e.g., steel plates, steel
profiles, large stamping parts).
- Belt conveyor: Suitable for irregular-shaped workpieces that require stable
conveying.
- The blasting chamber size, abrasive flow rate, and air pressure can
be adjusted to adapt to workpieces of different thicknesses,
widths, and materials (steel, aluminum alloy, copper, non-ferrous
metals, etc.).
- Environmentally Friendly and Resource-Saving Design
- Equipped with a sealed blasting chamber + high-efficiency dust removal system (bag dust collector or cyclone dust collector), which can collect
more than 99% of dust and abrasive particles, meeting strict
environmental emission standards and protecting the workshop
environment and operator health.
- Integrated abrasive recycling and screening system: Used abrasive
is recycled, screened to remove impurities (dust, oxide skin), and
reused, reducing abrasive consumption by 60%–80% and lowering
production costs.
- Intelligent Process Control and Safety Protection
- Fitted with a PLC intelligent control system, the machine supports
the configuration and storage of multiple sets of process
parameters including conveyor speed, air pressure and abrasive flow
rate. It enables one-touch startup for recurring production tasks
and effectively minimizes operational errors caused by manual
misoperation.
- A full range of safety protection mechanisms is integrated into the
equipment, covering emergency stop switches, overpressure warning
devices and door interlock systems that instantly suspend blasting
once the chamber door is opened. An abrasive material level
monitoring function is also included to guarantee stable and secure
running throughout production.
Typical Applications - Sheet Metal and Steel Structure Industry
- This machine is used to clean and roughen steel plates, aluminum
sheets, steel profiles and curtain wall components prior to
painting or spray coating. It effectively enhances the finished
products’ corrosion resistance and decorative appearance, and has
been widely adopted for processing construction steel structures,
household appliance casings and automotive sheet metal components.
- Casting and Forging Industry
- It removes adhered molding sand, oxide scale and burrs from small
and medium-sized castings such as gray iron, ductile iron and
aluminum alloy castings, as well as various forgings. Replacing
conventional manual grinding and acid pickling methods, this
blasting process delivers higher efficiency with better
environmental performance while greatly upgrading the surface
quality of cast workpieces.
- Hardware and Fastener Industry
- This equipment enables mass surface processing for screws, nuts,
bolts, hinges, locks and other hardware fittings. It strips surface
oxide films and burrs to optimize product surface appearance, while
creating an ideal bonding substrate for subsequent electroplating
or hot-dip galvanizing procedures.
- Automotive and Motorcycle Parts Manufacturing
- It is applied to clean and roughen auto chassis components, engine
supports, motorcycle frames and wheel hubs prior to electrophoretic
coating or painting. The treatment greatly strengthens coating
adhesion and extends the service lifespan of these mechanical
parts.
- Non-Metal Material Processing
- Surface treatment of non-metal workpieces such as glass (frosted
effect), ceramic tiles (anti-slip surface), and composite materials
(roughening to enhance bonding force). It expands the application
scope of sand blasting technology beyond the metal processing
field.
Key Advantages in Production - High efficiency: Continuous conveyor design realizes mass production, with
processing efficiency 3–5 times higher than manual or
semi-automatic sand blasting machines.
- Stable quality: Consistent conveying speed and blasting parameters ensure uniform
surface treatment effect of workpieces, avoiding quality
differences caused by manual operation.
- Low labor cost: Fully automated operation reduces the number of operators, and
only requires personnel to be responsible for loading and unloading
and parameter monitoring.
- Environmental compliance: Closed-loop dust removal and abrasive recycling meet modern
environmental protection requirements, reducing the environmental
impact of production.
