Automated Sandblasting Systems

Ideal for integrated cell manufacturing and large-volume applications, ISTblast automated sandblasting systems integrate perfectly with your production line. Whatever your process objectives are, IST has a batch-type or continuous flow automation machine designed to achieve the highest surface preparation standards using less time and effort.

ADVANTAGES OF OUR AUTOMATED SANDBLASTING EQUIPMENT

Speeds up production time and increases throughput

Better integration with production workflow

Consistent quality and predictable results

Lower production costs and minimized downtimes

Reduced manual labour costs and employee fatigue over repetitive tasks

Fully automated process workflow assisted by PLC and interfaced by an HMI touch screen

BATCH/CYCLE-ON-DEMAND SYSTEMS (BATCH PROCESS)

ISTblast - Rotary Table Blaster - Interior View

ROTARY HEAD TABLE BLASTERS

Designed to automate the surface treatment of small or large batches of parts of various shapes and sizes. Simply load the parts on the automated rotary table, set the cycle time, and let the rotary head do the hard work.

ISTblast - Basket Blaster - Interior View

BASKET BLASTERS

Basket blasters speeds up the surface preparation of relatively small parts with various and demanding shapes that may have part-on-part contact, as they can be processed in mass production. Workpieces are cleaned efficiently by means of abrasive blast stream exposure and mutual friction as they tumble in the rotating basket.

ISTblast - Rubber Belt Blaster - Interior View

RUBBER BELT TUMBLE BLASTERS

Ideal batch processing solution for medium- and large-sized parts with demanding shapes that may have part-on-part contact. As they tumble on the rubber belt, workpieces rotate at a low speed to provide an even exposure to a set of blast streams.

AUTOMATED INLINE CABINETS (CONTINUOUS PROCESS)

PASS-THROUGH/INLINE CONVEYOR SANDBLAST SYSTEMS

Automated sandblasting is designed for applications of parts varying in shape, size, and complexity. The workpieces’ traveling speed and exposure to the blast stream can be adjusted to accommodate various large-volume surface preparation applications.

ISTblast - Inline Basket Blaster - Interior View

INLINE BASKET BLASTERS

Inline Basket Blasters combine the effectiveness of a manual-fed basket blaster with the addition of a continuous-fed inline system, allowing the etching or prepping from one to a small set of tumbling parts simultaneously.

AUTOMATED PART PROCESS

ISTblast - Indexing Table - Interior View

INDEXING TURNTABLES

Indexing turntables are ideal for processing complex parts with hard-to-reach blind spots in continuous or cycle-on-demand applications. Parts are loaded manually or robotically on a loading station, then travel through a blasting station and an air blowing cleaning station. When leaving the system, the parts are ready to ship or coat.

ISTblast - Robotic Blaster - Interior View

ROBOTIC SANDBLAST SYSTEMS

Robotic arms can accomplish anything a human arm can do. However, they can do it at a much faster rate, never get tired, and never miss a spot! Synchronize one with a motorized turntable to get the ideal surface preparation system for demanding parts (shapes, weight) and high-precision blasting or peening applications.

ISTblast - Pipe Blaster - Interior View

CYLINDER AND PIPE BLASTERS

Cylinder and Pipe Blasters are designed for the surface preparation of the inner and outer surfaces of any cylinder-shaped parts simultaneously. No other system can provide an output this quick and precise on cylinders.

STANDARD WITH ALL OUR AUTOMATED SYSTEMS

ISTblast - Media Recovery System - Cyclonic Separator

ABRASIVE MEDIA RECOVERY SYSTEM

All automated systems are equipped with a choice of abrasive media recovery systems to optimize your process and reduce your costs. Options include CyclonicAir Wash, and Vibratory Media Separator which can be tuned to control particle size.

ISTblast - Dust Collectors for Sandblasting and Shot Blasting Machineset de grenaillage

DUST COLLECTION AND FILTRATION SYSTEM

Dust and airborne contaminants are contained and filtered by high-efficiency dust collectors to protect your workspace and maintain a dust-free environment during blasting. Our range includes Baghouse and Reverse Pulse Cartridge Dust Collectors with a self-cleaning process.

TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL PANEL

The operation of critical components is fully automated by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and interfaced with an intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI) touch panel. A maintenance program integrated into the system will prompt message reminders when it is time to perform a check or routine maintenance on components.

OPTIONAL ON ALL OUR AUTOMATED SYSTEMS

Parts Handling Robot

PARTS HANDLING ROBOTS

Large production plants can benefit from the integration of Parts Handling Robots to automate the most tedious and unsafe tasks in a production line. Robots can also be used to expose parts at an ideal angle and distance from the blast stream during the blasting process.

ISTblast - Parts Loading System

LOADING/UNLOADING SYSTEMS

Pneumatic or mechanical loading/unloading systems can be implemented to increase the efficiency of the production line and prevent workplace injuries.
