Strategies for solving the problem of unsmooth sand flow in shot blasting machines

The smoothness of sand flow in the metal surface treatment process of shot blasting machine is directly related to the cleaning effect and production efficiency. When encountering the problem of uneven sand flow in the shot blasting machine, we can adopt the following strategies to solve it:

Firstly, check the sand supply system. Ensure that the storage capacity of the sand silo is sufficient and that the sand supply pipeline is not blocked or damaged. Clean up impurities and sand deposits in the pipeline and keep it unobstructed. At the same time, check the operating status of the sand conveying pump or screw conveyor to ensure its normal operation.

Secondly, adjust the angle and speed of the shot blasting machine. Improper setting of ejection angle and velocity can affect the distribution and impact force of sand, thereby affecting the smoothness of sand flow. By adjusting the relevant parameters of the shot blasting machine, optimizing the spraying trajectory of the sand material, it can evenly and stably cover the surface of the workpiece.

In addition, pay attention to the particle size and humidity of the sand material. Fine or wet sand can cause uneven sand flow. Therefore, suitable sand materials for shot blasting machine models and workpiece materials should be selected, and their humidity should be controlled within a reasonable range. At the same time, regularly replace aging sand materials to maintain their good physical properties.

Finally, strengthen the maintenance and upkeep of equipment. Regularly inspect the various components of the shot blasting machine, such as the shot blasting machine, sand separator, dust removal system, etc., to ensure that they are in good working condition. Timely clean up the accumulated sand and impurities inside the equipment to maintain its cleanliness and hygiene.

In summary, solving the problem of unsmooth sand flow in shot blasting machines requires starting from multiple aspects, including checking the sand supply system, adjusting shot blasting parameters, paying attention to sand performance, and strengthening equipment maintenance. By implementing these measures, the operational efficiency and cleaning effectiveness of the shot blasting machine can be effectively improved.
