The hardware and manufacturing industries also make extensive use of shot blasting machines.
Castings: Many mechanical and hardware parts, including gears, housings, and structural elements, start as cast metal parts. Any residual sand, slag, or other materials on the surface of the workpiece can be removed by shot blasting.
Welded parts: In addition to cleaning castings, shot blasting machines are also used to clean welded parts, such as nuts, bolts, springs, and other hardware. Rust, welding slag, and other elements from the welding process may still be visible on these parts. Shot blasting technology can effectively remove these contaminants, leaving a clean, flat surface ready for further coating, plating, or finishing processes.
Gear cleaning: In the hardware and manufacturing industries, shot blasting is very useful for cleaning gear parts. Gears are key components in many mechanical systems, and small amounts of rust, welding slag, etc. are generated during the production process. By using shot peening, it can be guaranteed that the gear surface is completely clean and free of any contaminants that may impair its function or cause premature wear.
