Continuous shot blast machine

30 March 2017

Walther Trowal has commissioned a THM troughed belt continuous shot blast machine for a customer in Mexico that is equipped with a brand new generation of blast turbines.

These turbines were specifically designed for shot blasting of aluminum components. With a considerably higher blast media throwing speed the new turbines produce significantly shorter cycle times than the predecessor models.

The Mexican customer already successfully operates four continuous Trowal shot blast machines. Because of their excellent performance they chose to purchase another THM machine, when they had to expand their production capacity.

The increasing sales trend at Walther Trowal indicates that ever more customers are switching to aluminum media when shot blasting aluminum components. Because of its lower bulk density aluminum media is said to be a lot gentler than, for example, stainless steel shot.
