Cleaning of Castings and Forgings

Shot Blasting Machine
Shot blasting machines are essential in foundries and manufacturing facilities for cleaning castings and forgings. The machine’s abrasive steel shots blast away sand, scale, and other impurities left over from the casting process. This cleaning ensures that the cast and forged parts are free of defects and ready for further processing, such as machining, welding, or assembly.
Sand Blasting Machine
Sand blasting machines are used to clean castings and forgings by blasting fine abrasive sand onto the surfaces. The process removes sand residues, oxides, and rough spots from the parts, providing a clean and smooth finish. Sand blasting is particularly useful for delicate parts or when a finer finish is required compared to shot blasting.
Grit Blasting Machine
For cleaning castings and forgings, grit blasting machines are used to remove sand, scale, and other debris left behind from the casting process. The use of abrasive grit ensures that the parts are thoroughly cleaned, leaving behind a smooth and clean surface. This is especially important for parts that will undergo additional processes like machining or welding, as it ensures that no residues interfere with subsequent operations.
