Development Trends and Main Applications of Shot Blasting Machines
Share to:


A shot blasting machine strikes the surface of metal with one or more types of abrasives. Generally, the purpose is to remove some attachments on the metal surface, such as rust. However, sometimes a specific surface layer is obtained through shot blasting impact, such as a two-dimensional finished coil. The medium can be sand of various specifications, silicon carbide particles, small steel balls, etc. Over the years, shot blasting technology and equipment have been increasingly improved with continuously enhanced performance. Their application scope has expanded from simple casting surface cleaning to different industries such as metallurgy and mining, machinery manufacturing, automobile and tractor production, weapons manufacturing, textile machinery, ship and vehicle building, aerospace, etc. Their process scope has also extended from surface cleaning of castings and forgings to different fields such as metal structure strengthening, surface processing, and shot peening forming.

The three main applications of shot blasting cleaning machines are as follows:

  1. Shot blasting cleaning machines can generate compressive stress on the surface of parts, which can improve their fatigue strength and resistance to tensile stress corrosion.
  2. Shot blasting cleaning machines can correct distorted thin-walled parts.
  3. The process of shot blasting cleaning machines has replaced general hot and cold forming processes. The forming of large thin-walled aluminum parts can not only avoid residual tensile stress on the part surface but also obtain compressive stress that is beneficial to the parts. It should be noted that the service temperature of parts treated by shot blasting cleaning machines should not be too high; otherwise, the compressive stress will automatically disappear under high temperature, thus losing the expected effect. Their service temperature is determined by the material of the parts. For general steel parts, it is approximately 260-290℃, and for aluminum parts, it is only 170℃.

Shot blasting machine manufacturers adopt a solution where steel grit and steel shots are thrown at high speed to impact the surface of raw material blocks through shot blasting machines. Compared with other metal surface treatment technologies, it is more effective and can be applied to some processes after preservation or stamping forging.




The production of shot blasting derusting and strengthening equipment in China originated in the 1950s, mainly imitating the technology of the former Soviet Union. Shot blasting cleaning machines can also be used to remove burrs, diaphragms, and rust, which may affect the integrity, appearance, or definition of part of an object. Shot blasting cleaning machines can also remove contaminants on part of the coating surface and expose a surface corridor that enhances coating adhesion, achieving the purpose of strengthening workpieces. Shot blasting machines are different from sandblasting machines because they are used to reduce the fatigue of parts, improve different surface stresses, enhance the compressive strength of parts, or avoid fretting.

In order to reasonably reduce the fatigue life of parts and improve their surface stress, it is necessary to find solutions provided by shot blasting machine manufacturers. The equipment they provide processes through thrown steel balls, which can improve overall reliability. Therefore, they still need to have more knowledge to gain customer recognition.

The shot blasting machines from shot blasting machine manufacturers throw steel balls onto the stainless steel surface, which can bring excellent practical effects in terms of quality, thereby achieving very good main performance in quality. Perhaps when people choose products, they still need to make more comparisons to bring good economic benefits in terms of service projects. Therefore, how to choose is very important.
