Wet Blast Cabinets The wet pressure jet exerted by the Wet Blast Cabinet can be used for deburring, cleaning and polishing and offers the same results one would get when using abrasive shot blasting media.

One of the main advantages of these blasting systems is the reduced time in which parts are blasted. This is due to the high volume conveying flow. The Wet Blasting Cabinet can be considered a mechanical surface treatment. Cleaning chemicals and their neutralisation are unnecessary.

To clean components in a quick manner, glass beads can be used as blasting media. This will not damage the part’s surface, edges and fits.

Suction Blast Cabinets ActOn Suction Blast Cabinets have been designed as a compact and affordable alternative to pressure cabinets, None the less the finishing results that can be achieved using these machines are usually comparable to those produced by pressure systems. ActOn Suction Blast Cabinets can be automated to ensure the ease of operation, reduce maintenance and increase productivity.

These machines can shot blast continuously without the need to stop the process for refilling with media. Moreover the Suction Blast Cabinets have been manufactured to offer a simpler way to use the multiple nozzles. If these machines are used continuously for more then 2 hours per day, we recommend using a dust collector with a dust bag, to ensure better efficiency and cleanliness.

Pressure Blast Cabinets ActOn Pressure Blast Cabinets are manufactured out of thick gauge sheet metal, folded and welded to perfection.

These machines have been designed to deliver abrasives at higher velocities than suction systems, being ideal to maximise production rates. In comparison with suction systems, Pressure Blast Cabinets can be 4 times faster, for most of the applications. Moreover, these machines make more efficient use of air and provide more efficient control of abrasive flow required. ActOn Pressure Blast Cabinets are typically used for more demanding processes such as removing tight mill scale or finishing hard-to-reach surfaces.

Features of the Pressure Blast Cabinets

• Blast cabinet made out of MS Sheet folded construction

• Wide viewing window glass

• 100 watt light

Shot Blasting and Peening Consumables

Shot Blasting and Peening Media

ActOn offers a wide range of Abrasive Consumables for shot blasting and peening processes. Selecting the right blasting media is essential and depends upon the condition of the material before blasting and the finish required after blasting.

Aluminium Oxide

An aggressive and tough media suitable for different applications such as general blasting, surface finishing, grinding, polishing, matte finishing, edge rounding and cleaning and preparing the component surface prior to plaiting or painting.

Aluminium oxide is a durable abrasive media which can be recycled a number of times, making it a cost effective solution. Aluminium Oxide is much lighter than other medias, thus minimising the possibility of parts made out of thin materials being damaged in the finishing process.

Nonetheless, Aluminium Oxide has the properties which allow this media to deburr parts made from hard metals and sintered carbide.

ActOn offers the following options:

• Brown Aluminium Oxide (high performance for aerospace and automotive industries).

• White Aluminium Oxide (commonly used in the medical industry).

Brown, Pink and White AluminaWe recommend using ActOn Alumina media for corrosion removal, cleaning, etching and decorating.

• Brown Alumina: a fast cutting and tough media, widely used in the aerospace and automotive industry. • White Alumina: ideal for processes where no contamination is allowed, being used for finishing materials such as titanium, stainless steel, crystal glassware. • Pink Alumina: tougher than the white one being used both in wet and dry blasting process. Applications include removal of scale, paint, rust, hard deposits, cleaning, matte finishing, decorative finishing and glass frosting.

For further information on our Shot Blasting and Peening Media, specific for your application, please contact our sales representatives.

Silicon CarbidesSilicon carbide is the most aggressive and tough media recommended for general blasting, glass and stone etching, aggressive deburring, scale removal and smoothing components’ edges. ActOn silicon carbide is a very fast cut media and due to its hardness, it takes less time to process the components in comparison to other blasting media. Hence this media can be reused for a longer period of time, making it also a cost effective product.

Plastic Blast Media

ActOn plastic blast media is recommended for paint and coatings stripping from components manufactured out of soft metals, plastic and composites. This media is widely used in aerospace and automotive industry for blasting applications.

Metallic Blasting Media

ActOn metallic blasting media range includes: • Steel shot: great for cleaning, stripping, smoothing, polishing and improving a metal surface.

• Steel grit: an aggressive blasting media, used for removing any contamination from steel and foundry metals & to obtain an etched surface finish on components manufactured out of hard metals.

• Chilled iron grit: recommended for quick cleaning, etching and roughening up hard surfaces. This is a hard abrasive media, suitable for blasting rooms.

• Cut wire shot: available in stainless steel, aluminium, copper, zinc and nickel version, this can be used for peening, cleaning & vibratory finishing.

Walnut ShellWalnut shell is great for removing coatings, cleaning, deburring and de-flashing. This media is hard and fibrous and it is known as ‘soft abrasive’. Being extremely durable it can be reused in all types of blasting equipment.

ActOn walnut shell is bovine free.

Glass Beads Glass beads are great for obtaining a clean, smooth, bright or satin finish. This media is a cost effective solution as it can be recycled. Glass beads are mainly used in the shot blasting cabinets.

Ceramic Beads Ceramic beads can be used to process steel, aluminium, and non-ferrous alloys. Applications include cleaning, smoothing, satin finishing, removal of coatings, rust and oxides and deburring. This is a tough media that can be used both in the air and wet blasting process.
