Tumblast
Shot Blasting Machine
Tumble blast machines use abrasive media to clean and finish parts efficiently.
TumBlast Shot Blasting Machine
Tumblast shot blasting machine is a type of shot blasting equipment used for surface preparation and cleaning of various materials such as metal, wood, and concrete. This machine typically consists of a rotating drum or barrel where the workpieces are tumbled or rotated while being blasted with abrasive materials such as steel shot or grit.
​
The tum-blast process is effective for removing rust, scale, paint, and other surface contaminants from workpieces. It is commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, foundries, and metal fabrication for preparing surfaces before painting, coating, or welding.
​
These machines come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different workpiece sizes and production requirements. They can be manually loaded and unloaded or integrated into automated production lines for continuous operation. Additionally, they can be equipped with features such as dust collection systems to ensure a clean and safe working environment.
