Airless Shot Blasting Machine - Tumble Type

Airless Shot Blasting Machine - Tumble Type

The Airless Shot Blasting Machine – Tumble Type is designed for batch processing of small to medium-sized components requiring uniform cleaning, descaling, deburring, and shot peening. This highly efficient tumblast shot blasting machine uses continuous tumbling action to rotate components inside the blasting chamber while high-speed blast wheels project abrasive media across all exposed surfaces.

The tumbling movement ensures complete 360° blasting coverage, making it ideal for mass production parts requiring consistent finish quality. This tumble-type airless shot blasting machine is available in multiple configurations to suit different applications and component types.

Available Configurations

  • Rotary Drum Type
  • Rubber Belt (Tumblast) Type
  • Metallic Belt Type

Smart Process Overview

Working Principle

Components are loaded into the tumbling chamber, which may be a drum, rubber belt, or metallic belt design depending on the machine configuration. Once loaded, the chamber rotates continuously, creating a cascading movement that turns and repositions the parts during operation.

High-speed blast wheel units accelerate abrasive media such as steel shot or steel grit and project it onto the tumbling components. As the parts keep rotating, all surfaces are exposed to the abrasive stream for uniform cleaning and finishing.

Used abrasive falls into the recovery system, where it passes through the screw conveyor, bucket elevator, and separator. Clean abrasive is recirculated for reuse, while dust and fines are removed through the integrated dust collector system. Finished components are discharged manually, hydraulically, or automatically, depending on the selected system.
