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.
"It is more than capable of dealing with the wide variety of component sizes and yet it doesn't take up too much space".
The service centre has to deal with a wide mixture of cutting tools including TCT and diamond tipped routers, saw blades, drills and hoggers that it takes in on a regular basis for clean up and service.
The components are blasted clean in the Formula blast cabinet with glass bead to remove the build up of saps, resins and pitch that can accumulate on the cutting blade surfaces and build up on the cutting tips.
"The Guyson cabinet cleans these off effortlessly in a matter of minutes," said Harvey.
"Time is very critical as we offer a fast turnaround service".
The Guyson Formula 1400 is as an 'entry-level' blast system for light industrial applications or when blasting is required on an intermittent basis.
A foot operated blast gun leaves both hands free for excellent component manipulation.
The system is complete with an efficient dust collector, making these cabinets ideal for workshops, garages and maintenance departments, said Guyson. Request a free brochure from Guyson International ...
