Keying surface produced for anodising
When Bodycote a world leader in metal technology, were faced with a demanding finishing problem, coupled with an extremely tight delivery deadline, they approached Guyson International for help.
These are lined with flexible rubber and produce an effective seal around the component stopping excessive escape of blast media.
A recent example was produced for blast cleaning coupling points of 160mm diameter aluminium sheathed cable used in a military capacity.
For higher capacity blasting, a Guyson model 900 gun was fitted, coupled with a C400 Dust Collector, this is capable of maintaining a clear blast cabinet environment over periods of prolonged or continuous use, good visibility is assisted with strong internal lighting.
The media stream from the blast gun is foot operated thus leaving both hands to control the gun nozzle and the component if it needs rotating, or the operator can use the cabinets fixed gun holder and use both hands for manipulating the component.
Extra large armholes are provided for maximum reach and operator comfort.
Both sides of the cabinet are equipped with a metal flap fitted with magnetic strips which can be folded up to cover the hole and stop media escaping if a cable, pipe, tube end is needed to be blasted and the other end does not protrude outside the cabinet.
The cabinet and dust collector have been fitted with lockable wheels so they can be manoeuvred along the pipe or cable to clean other sections if the component is unable to be pulled or pushed through the cabinet due to being in a fixed position.
Both also are fitted with fork-lift points which enable them to be lifted into difficult to reach positions in on-site operations, giving a truly mobile blast unit. Request a free brochure from Guyson International ...
