Efficient cleaning of the blast media and
the exhaust air.
Integration of the system controls were installed
ready during the pre-commissioning phase
To meet the height requirement for the shot blast machine of only
4,600 mm (181 inches) the REDL 6-30/100 was designed with a
specially low profile. For this purpose the blast media
classification system was not placed, as it is usually done, on top
of the machine, but beside it. For this reason, the machine is
equipped with a “split” elevator system consisting of two bucket
elevators. A cross screw conveyor transfers the contaminated blast
media from the blast chamber to the first bucket elevator which
transports the blast media up to the air wash media classification
system. The air stream flowing through the media curtain removes
contaminants like broken down media and dust. Heavy particles
are collected in a special bin, while dust fines are transported to
a dust collector. The cleaned blast media is collected in a storage
hopper placed directly below the air wash separator. From
there the second bucket elevator transports the media to an
intermediate hopper placed above the turbines. This arrangement allows a continuous, uninterrupted flow of the blast
media to the turbines.
The Rösler shot blast systems can be integrated into a complete
manufacturing line. This may require not only a quick exchange
of the old with the new shot blast machine controls but also their
integration into the higher level line controls. In this respect a big
benefit is the fact that Rösler completely set up its equipment in
Untermerzbach prior to shipment and conducted extensive trial
runs. Other equipment manufacturers deliver single components,
installed them and test the equipment for the first time on site.
At Rösler we provide the opportunity to test a fully functional shot
blast system during the pre-commissioning phase before delivery.
This allows us to jointly test and optimize the integration of the
controls with our clients own control engineers, for example,
the operating concept, the monitoring and tracing of product
batches, etc. This helps when replacing an old shot blast machine
with a new one within a time period of only four weeks.”
The contaminated exhaust air from the blast chamber is first
cleaned in a cartridge dust collector. Subsequently, the clean air
is passing through a fine filter for further reduction of the residual
dust load. In winter the clean air from the dust collector can be
guided back into the building, contributing to overall reduced
energy consumption.
REDL 6-30/100 front
In this continuous shot blast machine with three blast
chambers steel bars with round, square and hexagonal
profiles and diameters/cross-sectional dimensions from 24 to
80 mm (1.0 to 3.2 inches) can be processed at a speed from
12 to 60 m (39 to 197 feet) per minute.
