The correct method for adding shot to a shot blasting machine

The shot blasting operation of the shot blasting machine is an important part of the daily maintenance of the equipment. The correct shot blasting method can ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend its service life. The following is the correct method for adding shot to a shot blasting machine:

1. Shutdown operation: Before adding shot, the shot blasting machine must be stopped, the power switch must be turned off, and the equipment must be in a stationary state.

2. Open the shot blasting port: Find the shot blasting port of the shot blasting machine, usually located at the top or side of the equipment, open the shot blasting port cover, and prepare to add new abrasive.

3. Choose the appropriate abrasive: Select the appropriate abrasive according to the requirements of the equipment and the processing object, such as steel shot, steel sand, ceramic beads, etc. The particle size and hardness of the abrasive should comply with the instructions for use of the equipment.

4. Add abrasive: Pour an appropriate amount of abrasive into the filling mouth, being careful not to exceed the maximum capacity of the equipment. When adding pills, they should be poured slowly to avoid the abrasive splashing out or blocking the pill mouth.

5. Close the filling port: After filling, close the filling port cover to ensure that the cover is securely fastened to prevent abrasive leakage and dust from entering.

6. Start the equipment: Restart the shot blasting machine, check the operation status and shot blasting effect of the equipment, and ensure that the newly added abrasive can work normally.

7. Record the addition of pellets: After each addition, the time, quantity, and type of abrasive should be recorded for the daily management and maintenance of the equipment.

By using the correct shot blasting method, it is possible to ensure the normal operation of the shot blasting machine and achieve good cleaning results, thereby improving production efficiency and workpiece quality.
