Original Press Release:
Blast Cabinet for Tight Spaces
Sept. 3, 2004 - Saratoga Springs, NY - Guyson Corporation has introduced a compact industrial cabinet-blast system that is designed for shops with small available area for manual cleaning, surface preparation or finishing operations. The Model 4 blast cabinet has a footprint of less than 6 square feet.
Overall dimensions of the blast cabinet are 65" H x 35" W x 23" D (165 cm x 90 cm x 58 cm). The process enclosure has a full width front swing door to offer a 16 inch high opening for access. A generous 27 inch by 9 inch tempered safety glass view window allows superb visibility throughout the blast chamber. To protect the window from frosting by harsh abrasive media, the machine builder offers a square-cut inner window in a quick-change frame or a peel-off polymer film shield.
The Model 4 cabinet is normally equipped with a single treadle activated suction-blast gun that can be hand-held or fixtured in a convenient position on a telescoping multi-adjustable bracket to leave the hands free for manipulation of components. The manufacturer makes two different gun sizes available to give the user a choice between faster coverage of component surfaces or more precise blasting for small parts and detail work. A variety of air jet and nozzle diameters is available in several abrasion resistant materials for each of the gun models.
Capable of utilizing any abrasive or non-abrasive blasting media that is intended for recirculating-type cabinets, the Model 4 is typically supplied with a cyclone reclaimer to separate dust and fines from reusable media particles. The system is completed by a cartridge-type dust collector that balances the reclaim, maintaining negative pressure in the blast enclosure and preventing the release of airborne contaminants into the work environment.
The designer and manufacturer of the surface preparation equipment offers abrasion resistance features when hard cutting media are to be used in the blast cabinet. In addition to bronze gun bodies and tungsten carbide and boron carbide nozzles, bonded rubber lining of the cabinet and cyclone body is available to protect against abrasive wear. Super wear resistant cast urethane ducting can be installed between the cabinet hopper and the cyclone separator. Also, convenient and productivity-boosting accessory items such as a Lazy Susan turntable or roller cradle can be rubber lined or urethane coated for abrasion resistance.
Prospective users of industrial manual or automated blast systems are encouraged to submit sample components for free evaluation and testing in the machinery manufacturer's fully equipped applications engineering laboratory. Further details on the free testing service are available at the web page freeblast.guyson.com.
