How to Operate a Pass-Through Shot Blasting Machine Correctly?
Share to:
To operate a pass-through shot blasting machine correctly, a series of detailed steps and precautions must be followed. The following is a comprehensive operation guide:

I. Pre-Operation Inspections
  1. Electrical Circuit Check: Carefully inspect all electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free of loose joints.
  2. Crane Button Check: Verify that all buttons on the crane control panel are functioning properly.
  3. Shot Media Check: Inspect the shot media (iron sand) for caking and ensure an adequate supply.
  4. Usage Log Review: Check the machine's maintenance and usage records from the previous operation.

II. Motor Installation and Fixing
  1. Mounting: Secure the motor onto the hanger beam's shelf, ensuring it is horizontally balanced and the beam is vertical.
  2. Stability Check: Confirm the motor does not or shift during operation.





III. Operation Procedures

A. Startup Preparation
  1. Open the control panel, switch on the main air circuit breaker, and close the panel.
  2. Ensure the emergency stop switch is in the "ON" position.
  3. Turn the power switch clockwise to "ON."

B. Hanger Beam Operations
  1. Use the crane control to move the hanger beam left.
  2. Lower the beam until it touches the ground and align it.
  3. Attach workpieces to the beam's shelf.
  4. Raise the beam and move it right toward the shot blasting chamber, slowing down as it enters to ensure alignment.

C. Shot Blasting Machine Operations
  1. Close the chamber door and secure the locking pins.
  2. Start the dust extraction fan.
  3. Activate the hanger rotation (forward for 5 minutes, then reverse every 5 minutes).
  4. Start both shot blasting wheels simultaneously.
  5. Engage the elevator to maintain shot media circulation.
  6. Limit each operation cycle to 10–15 minutes, ensuring the motor current does not exceed the rated value (e.g., 22A).

D. Shutdown Procedures
  1. After the cycle, turn off the elevator, shot blasting wheels, and hanger rotation.
  2. Wait 5 minutes before shutting down the fan.
  3. Turn off the power switch.
  4. Open the chamber door, move the hanger to the doorway (without exiting), and clean residual shot media from the workpieces and shelf.
  5. Remove the workpieces after moving the hanger outside the chamber.

IV. Precautions

A. Daily Maintenance
  • At the end of each shift, activate the vibration device for 5 minutes to prevent shot media caking.
  • Clean debris from the separator screen.

B. Safety Checks
  • Ensure the chamber is empty and all access doors are securely closed before operation.
  • Monitor workpiece movement for slippage or misalignment.
  • Check for abnormal vibrations, noises, or overheating in the shot blasting wheels and motors.

C. Prohibited Actions
  • Never process wet workpieces.
  • Avoid adjusting the shot media control valve during operation.

D. Personal Protection
  • Wear full protective gear when accessing the machine's upper parts.

E. Work Environment
  • Keep the workspace clear of clutter to prevent accidents.

Conclusion: Correct operation of a pass-through shot blasting machine requires meticulous preparation, strict adherence to procedures, and rigorous safety measures. Following these guidelines ensures efficient machine operation and high-quality workpiece treatment.
