After visiting the River Don site accompanied by
Sales Director, Jay Dorling, for a meeting with
Forged Solutions Project Manager Ashley Hughes
to discuss various options it became clear that the
prospect of offering a brand-new bespoke Twin
Swing Table Shot Blast Machine was the preferred
option. This preferred option would have the latest
technology including our high-performance long-life
blast wheels to improve productivity and quality of
surface finish, and state of the art safety features.”
Ashley Hughes, Project Manager for Forged
Solutions, said “The programmability and the
number of features far outweigh those of our
previous technology and gives us greatly improved
control over how a part is shot blasted. From how
much shot is fired and how hard it is projected, to
the speed the tables turn and the angle of the shots,
we can control this all to protect the integrity of the
metal and improve the finished state of the part.
We even have an enhanced shot recovery system
which discards the dust that comes from worn down,
degraded shots meaning that parts are only blasted
with prime blast media.” These innovative features
combined with the user-led and productivity
enhancing design mean that customers can
expect an even greater standard of product from
Forged Solutions. Ashley continues: “We have new
technology, a cleaner process and the ergonomic
improvements have been made, bringing us up to
new standard and capability. This is all round a
vastly improved and exciting system.”
James added “When the turnkey package offered
on this project was successful, we were delighted
to have received an order from such a high-profile
company such as Forged Solutions. The delivered
equipment has also been installed by our very own
Managing Director Andy Allen and Special Projects
Lead Engineer Matt Stones who worked alongside
our very skilled team of engineers and we are all
very proud to have supplied such a fantastic shot
blast machine in the UK, and only 3 miles away
from our HQ in the Steel City of Sheffield.”
