PRODUCTS & PROCESSES Guyson installs multiple blast cabinets into additive manufacturer Guyson International has recently installed four Guyson Euroblast 8, pressure feed, blast fi nishing systems complete with side loading turntables, into the brand new additive manufacturing (AM) factory of Materials Solutions (A Siemens Business) to remove semi- sintered particles from their components and provide an even cosmetic fi nish. These larger blast fi nishing systems augment an existing batch of smaller model 2 and model 4 Guyson Euroblast blast cabinets and continue the customer’s long term association with Guyson as the foremost industrial fi nishing equipment manufacturer. “Materials Solutions has been using Guyson blasters since our origin and when it came to upgrade and update it made perfect sense to us to go back to Guyson”, says General Manager Phil Hatherley. “We have increased size capability plus capacity and working with our team Guyson have provided us with a quality solution for blasting the larger components that our customers are now looking for us to supply.” The installation of these blast systems has been purposely designed so that each system practically mirrors itself, with operators working back to back in a compact and organised space and all the dust collectors and cyclone reclamators are on a common side of the installation. The Guyson Euroblast 8 blast cabinet was chosen as it offers a tremendous array of component access options, offering front, front top and side opening doors and providing internal blast chamber dimensions of 1050 mm (w) x 1050 mm (d) x 880 mm (h). So the largest additive manufactured components can be accommodated. CONTINUED ON PAGE 58 56 MAY 2019 twitter: @surfaceworldmag
