Guyson Blast Cabinet Prepares Cast Iron Stoves

SKIPTON, U.K. - Sept. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Industrial finishing equipment manufacturer Guyson International has recently installed a Guyson Euroblast® 7PF (Pressure Fed) manually operated blast cabinet into the production area of Barnoldswick based Esse, the UK’s longest-standing stove manufacturer.  This provides a blast finished surface preparation on their smallest range of multi-fuel cast iron stoves prior to painting.

The blast cabinet is from Guyson’s premier industrial quality Euroblast range (http://www.guyson.co.uk/finishing-equipment/blast/blast-equipment/euroblast-blast-cabinets) with internal blast chamber dimensions of 148 cm wide, 90 cm deep and 88 cm high and with an overall cabinet height of 182 cm. The Euroblast 7 delivers exceptional component access, with doors opening to the front, top and side, and so facilitates easy loading of bulky components.  In fact, with the blast chamber being oblong rather than square in shape, it proves a popular choice amongst customers for blasting longer components.

Guyson Euroblast PF systems are designed for speed, giving faster cleaning times (up to four times faster than suction fed or venturi systems) to meet higher production requirements.  Pressure fed blast systems are excellent for removing tough, hard scale and deposits particularly within hard-to-reach recessed areas and complex shapes. In this application the blast process delivers a robust surface finish with a coarse aluminium oxide grit removing any small surface variations created during casting and providing a perfectly keyed surface prior to subsequent final painting and assembly.

The blast grit is propelled at the stove carcass by a high impact stream of air generated from a Guyson G27 (27 litre) pressure pot and directed at the cast metal frame through a tungsten blast nozzle. Completing the blast system is a cyclone separator and dust collector. The cyclone separator maintains a consistent grit size within the media stream to achieve consistent roughness levels. The Guyson 75/16 cyclone separator creates a vortex of air that carries the heavier re-usable particles to the outside of the rotating air stream and these collect in a storage hopper ready to be re-used, whilst the lighter remaining dust, fines and undersize media are separated and collected in the Guyson C400 cartridge dust collector for disposal.

The Euroblast 7PF is just one of the industrial quality Euroblast range of seven ‘standard’ blast cabinet sizes (available as either suction or pressure fed) with additional cabinet variations available of a sit down version, a variable height option and a series of dedicated flat sheet glass handling cabinet options. The flexible Euroblast range also offers many optional features such as turntables, side-loaders (for easy loading of heavy components onto a turntable outside the cabinet), cabinet cut-outs (to allow longer components such as pipes, tubes or wire to pass through into the cabinet without opening the doors) and roof slots for crane-loading of heavy parts directly into the cabinet centre.  Also available is a door-mounted automatic tumble basket for low volume batch blasting of smaller items such as aerospace fasteners, gears or connectors with the basket rotating under a stream of blasting media – perfect for deburring.
