Automatic manufacturing processes require highly flexible production systems to be able to cope with changing production requirements. Flexible systems can quickly adapt to changes in production rates, lot size, finishing techniques and market demands. The through-feed blast cleaning process offers a number of distinct advantages and ensures efficient and cost effective blast cleaning. Continuous shot blast machines automate production sequences and improve the work environment.

Automatic, continuous and dust-free blast cleaning
The polygon shaped trough rocks back and forth to gently tumble the work pieces. The frequency of the rocking motion of the trough and the abrasive supply to the blast wheels are controlled based on pre-programmed parameters depending on the flow rate and volume of parts. This ensures optimum blast cleaning results and minimum wear, even when the flow-rate of parts is irregular. The high power abrasive streams - aimed at parts from above - reach, and thoroughly clean all surfaces and interior areas.

Get the best out of your production
A lighter, entry-level version of the established heavy-duty DT rocker barrel tumblast concept is available. The DT-11-350 was designed specifically for the needs of smaller foundries, producing smaller castings in smaller runs. For foundries looking to upgrade to the new DISAMATIC C3 vertical moulding machine, the new DT offers an affordable continuous wheel blast solution to match.
