Description

The Ventus 92 PR Pressure Fed Air Blast Cabinet

A favourite in the Aerospace and medical industries, where keeping abrasive quality is very important, the Ventus range is versatile enough to allow all types of finishes.

Designed specifically for production applications where a high work output is required combined with optimum abrasive quality. These machines offer advanced features to maximise abrasive integrity and ensure efficient operation using a separate free-standing recovery power pack.

Pressure fed - Designed specifically for production applications where a high intensity blasting process is required. It offers advanced features to ensure efficient operation and maximum operator comfort.

It incorporates an integral reverse jet dust collector to save space and minimise dust emissions.

Applications

  • Rust and heat scale removal
  • Paint stripping
  • Surface texturing
  • Preparation for painting, bonding and plating
  • Corrosion removal
  • Shot peening
  • General component cleaning
  • Cosmetic finishing
  • Mould cleaning
  • Glass etching

The attached power-pack and 41 ltr pressure pot has an adjustable double flux cyclone which feeds the blast pot and nozzle with only good regraded abrasives without any of the waste dust and fines recirculating in the system to increase productivity and offer a uniform finish. 

Features

  • Low noise levels
  • Robust construction
  • High ventilation rate for good visibility
  • Large viewing window
  • Free standing blast generator and dust collector measuring 975 x 900 x 1780 Blast cabinet plus 900 x 1300 x 2500 Dusty and pressure pot.
  • Pressure regulation at operator position for ease of adjustment
  • Reverse jet dust collector with clean side filter change
  • Elliptical glove ports to suit a wide range of operator sizes
  • Anti-static gauntlets
  • Internal blow down gun
  • Adjustable abrasive feeding.
  • Interlocked door
  • Sophisticated cyclone for efficient and adjustable abrasive separation
  • Vibrating screen for removal of oversize debris
  • Magnetic separator for removal of ferrous contaminants when used with non ferrous abrasive
  • Aerated adjustable feed valve for even abrasive feed
  • 0.75kW motor.

Features to Consider for a Blasting Cabinet

  • Cubic Force per Minute (CFM) - The power the air/water/media can be shot at.
  • Dust Collection - For blasting for prolonged times lengths or dust-producing materials the dust would need to be controlled.
  • Cabinet Construction - All cabinets need to be sturdy but for high-pressure shot blasting the construction needs to be secure.
  • Type of Cabinet - Options include suction, pressure & water blast cabinets.
  • Functional Design & View - Would the operation be able to use the cabinet and see through the window?
  • Media - What purpose do you need to shot blast as different media can achieve different finishes.
  • Accessories for Blast Cabinet - Is the cabinet sellf contained or does it required additional control, extraction and cyclone units.

 

What is Shot Blasting?

Shot Blasting can be used as a catch all term for a wide range of similar industrial processes. It is also called abrasive cleaning or abrasive surface finishing. During the shot blasting process a media material is fired at an object to remove remove burrs, flashing, paint, scale or rust and clean and smooth (or sometimes intentionally roughen) the surface.

There are several mechanical methods used to propel the media material including using compressed air or water streams, or airless methods such as wheel blasting.

The media used also differs depending on the results needed but the catch all term is shot, hence shot blasting. The shape, size and weight of the media will determine the outcome. Frequently a metal shot is used including steel grit, copper shots, and aluminum pellets. Some methods of shot blasting use silica sand (sand blasting - not in some countries due to health risks), glass beads (bead blasting), sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or crushed nuts shells or kernels.

The Pros of Pressure Blast Cabinets

  • High Production: pressure blast cabinets are 3-4 times faster in cleaning a product surface than suction cabinets.
  • Higher performance: as pressure blast cabinets provide media at a greater force, products will be cleaned at a greater degree.
  • More aggressive operation
  • Any type of media can be used.
