Improvement cases
Trouble cases
Because “ as cut “ shots have sharp edges and produce ‘ sharp notches’
on the spring surface which act as stress raisers leading to crack and
break.
It is observed, shown figure the failure of spring will take place because
of cut shots. Always use conditioned shots only.

• The maximum shot flow this machine can give is 230 kgs / mins.
• The shot flow depends on current amperage.
• The no load current is 5.5 amps. ( 10 HP motor )
• The maximum amps is 14.5 A.
• The operating amperage is 9 amps.
• Hence each amperage raise gives 25.5 kgs of shots.
• It is ideal to run the machine at 14.0 amps but not exceeding 14.50
amps.
The shot flow can be adjusted by abrasive control valve.

Trouble cases
• Two important reasons for plant maintenance
1. Condition of the plant.
2. Performance of the plant.
1. Condition of the Plant: Due to peening action, not only the work but
also other parts of the plant like peening cabinet, wheel housing also
Receive peening,
o Through protection is provided, still they wear.
o If unchecked, they may cause holes and leakage of shots from
unprotected parts which are not easy to replace.
2. Performance of the plant: Due to peening action, liners blades,
impeller & control cage will wear.
o If not checked they will affect the blast pattern, intensity and
coverage.
o For these two reasons, regular and periodic checks must be
made immediately.

√ Basic knowledge
Improvement cases
Trouble cases
1. The ammeter reading of the motor (rotor) indicates the volume of
shots thrown.
2. Therefore the correct amperage should be maintained
3. The Operating range of our 10hp rotor motor is 9 amps i.e.,
(Max. current 14.50 A- No load current 5.5 A)
4. For maximum efficiency, it is necessary to run the machine at almost
14 amps, but not exceeding 14.5 amps (relay provided to cut off).
4. Less amperage indicates low shot flow or less shot in hopper.
5. This results in poor peening and low wheel efficiency.
6. Wheel efficiency is calculated as under :
(Running load Amps – No load Amps)
ή = ------------------------------------------------------ X 100
(Rated Max. Amps - No load Amps)

Trouble cases
• It is necessary to accept the fact that spillage of shots around the
machine is inevitable.
• It is a self-detective machine.
• Shots may escape through unloading or holes and recess in the
machine.
• These holes not only risk the personnel but also damage other
machine.
• Even if a small problem is noticed, rectify it immediately.
So, It is necessary to take Immediate corrective actions
