Finishing - March-April 2022
Who knew that after coming out of a pandemic, the world could get any worse, but how wrong was everybody. The effects of the war are going to be be huge for industry. Industry that was already under price pressure, but fuel costs now are going to be astronomical. I truly hope that your business survives this latest onslaught. Fair play to all those people volunteering to look after refugees. They have my undying respect and it shows the people of the UK to be a country full of sympathy and humanity. I hope this message is seen from the outside world as I fear that sometimes our leaders may distort how UK citizens really feel. Good luck in the coming months, I think we might need it.

blades in “Y” design. Compared to<br />
conventional turbines the specially calculated<br />
blade curvature generates very high media<br />
throwing speeds resulting in an up to 20%<br />
higher blast performance and, consequently,<br />
shorter cycle times. All this is achieved with a<br />
lower energy consumption. Moreover, the<br />
special “Y” design of the throwing blades<br />
allows the use of both blade sides. This<br />
practically doubles the usable life of the<br />
throwing blades. A quick-change system<br />
permits a quick blade change without the<br />
need for dismounting the turbine from its<br />
housing.<br />
The blast process is further intensified and<br />
accelerated by the integrated blast media<br />
deflectors. These special compressed air<br />
nozzles are causing an additional blast media<br />
movement. The automatic blast media flow<br />
control allows not only the monitoring but also<br />
the precise adjustment of the media flow to<br />
the respective work pieces. The media<br />
replenishment takes also place fully<br />
automatically. An additional automatic dosing<br />
system allows the application of a powder<br />
cleaning compound in the blast chamber to<br />
catch and discharge any oil that may be<br />
carried into the shot blast machine by the<br />
work pieces. It should be noted that the<br />
powder compound does not affect the<br />
functionality of the blast media: In the air wash<br />
separator of the media cleaning system the<br />
powder is completely separated from the blast<br />
media. Since the machine was also intended<br />
for stripping the coating buildup from the<br />
work piece carriers used for the coating<br />
operation, the dry dust collector is equipped<br />
with explosion protection features.<br />
Optimum wear protection<br />
ensures long uptimes<br />
In order to minimize machine downtimes<br />
due to wear, the inside of the blast chamber is<br />
lined with easily replaceable 6 mm thick highly<br />
wear-resistant manganese plates. The left and<br />
right side of the media discharge opening of<br />
the turbines is equipped with additional wear<br />
plates. These bundle the media stream and<br />
prevent this section of the blast chamber to be<br />
attacked by the blast media. Finally, the barrel<br />
heads, also made from manganese steel, are<br />
equipped with a PU coating providing an<br />
additional wear protection in the primary blast<br />
zone. This helps to further extend the<br />
equipment uptime.<br />
Claudio Hertig concludes: „The<br />
comprehensive experience and know-how of<br />
Rösler with the production of such machines is<br />
an invaluable advantage that helps improve<br />
the overall efficiency of the equipment. In<br />
addition, the global Rösler technical service<br />
allows us to work in other plants with the<br />
same processes and machinery and have them<br />
maintained by local Rösler service engineers”.<br />
