Abrasive Media
In the shot blasting industry, abrasive media plays a crucial role in the process of surface preparation and finishing.
Shot blasting is a method used to clean, strengthen, or polish surfaces by forcibly propelling abrasive materials against them. Abrasive media used in shot blasting can vary widely depending on the specific application, desired finish, and material being processed. Some common types of abrasive media used in shot blasting include:
​
-
Steel Shot: Steel shot is one of the most commonly used abrasives in shot blasting. It consists of small spherical pellets made of hardened steel. Steel shot is effective for removing scale, rust, paint, and other contaminants from metal surfaces. It comes in various sizes and hardness levels to suit different applications.
​
-
Steel Grit: Similar to steel shot, steel grit consists of small angular particles made of hardened steel. Steel grit is often preferred for applications where a more aggressive surface treatment is required, such as removing tough coatings or preparing surfaces for painting or coating adhesion.
​
-
Aluminum Oxide: Aluminum oxide abrasive media is made from fused aluminum oxide grains and is commonly used for shot blasting applications that require a fine finish or precision surface preparation. It is effective for removing rust, scale, and old coatings from metal surfaces without causing excessive surface roughness.
-
Garnet: Garnet abrasive media is a natural mineral abrasive that is commonly used in shot blasting applications where low dust levels and recyclability are important considerations. Garnet is known for its high hardness and sharp edges, making it effective for removing paint, rust, and corrosion from various surfaces.
​
-
Glass Beads: Glass bead abrasive media consists of small spherical beads made from recycled glass. Glass beads are often used for shot peening and cleaning applications where a smooth, satin-like finish is desired. They are also commonly used for deburring and descaling operations on softer metals.
-
Ceramic Beads: Ceramic bead abrasive media is made from zirconia or alumina-based ceramic materials and is known for its high durability and long life. Ceramic beads are often used in shot blasting applications where consistent surface finish and precise control over surface roughness are required.
​
-
Plastic Media: Plastic media consists of soft, non-abrasive plastic particles that are used for shot blasting applications where delicate surfaces need to be cleaned or stripped without causing damage. Plastic media is commonly used for removing paint, coatings, and contaminants from materials such as fiberglass, composites, and delicate metal alloys.
These are just a few examples of abrasive media used in the shot blasting industry. The selection of abrasive media depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the material being treated, desired surface finish, and environmental considerations. Additionally, recycling and proper disposal of abrasive media are essential aspects of sustainable shot blasting practices.
Airless Consumables Wear & Tear Parts For Stock
"Airless" typically refers to airless paint sprayers or similar equipment that uses pressure to deliver paint without the need for compressed air.
Consumables and wear & tear parts for such equipment are crucial for maintaining efficiency and ensuring the longevity of the machinery. Here's a list of common consumables and wear & tear parts for airless systems:
​
-
Spray Tips: These are one of the most critical components as they determine the spray pattern and quality. They can wear out over time and need regular replacement.
​
-
Filters: Filters prevent debris and contaminants from entering the system, which can cause clogs and damage. Regularly replacing filters helps maintain smooth operation.
​
-
Pump Packing Kit: This kit includes seals and O-rings that prevent paint from leaking out of the pump. Over time, these seals can wear out and need replacement.
​
-
Trigger Gun Assembly: The trigger gun is often subject to wear, particularly in commercial or industrial settings where it sees heavy use. Replacing worn parts in the trigger gun can prevent leaks and ensure proper operation.
-
Hoses: Hoses can degrade over time, especially if they are subjected to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Regularly inspecting hoses for signs of wear and replacing them as needed is essential for preventing leaks and maintaining pressure.
​
-
Pressure Relief Valve: This valve helps regulate pressure within the system and protects against over pressurization. It's important to ensure that the pressure relief valve is functioning correctly and replace it if necessary.
​
-
Fluid Section Repair Kit: This kit includes various components of the pump's fluid section, such as ball valves, seats, and pistons. These parts can wear out over time and need replacement to maintain proper pump function.
-
Spray Gun Filters: These filters are located inside the spray gun and help prevent debris from clogging the spray tip. Regularly inspecting and replacing these filters can help maintain consistent spray patterns.
​
-
Fluid Hose Swivel: This component allows the hose to rotate freely, reducing strain and preventing kinks. Inspecting and lubricating the hose swivel regularly can extend its lifespan.
​
-
Prime Valve Assembly: The prime valve controls the flow of paint into the system during priming. If the valve becomes worn or damaged, it can cause issues with priming and paint flow.
Regular inspection, maintenance, and timely replacement of these consumables and wear-and-tear parts are essential for ensuring the longevity and efficient operation of shot blasting equipment in industrial settings.
