Global Surface Treatment Equipment & System Solutions — Since 2002

Foundries and forging plants produce metal components with a wide range of sizes, shapes, and surface conditions. Sand, scale, oxide layers, and other residues can remain on the workpiece after casting, forging, heat treatment, or other manufacturing processes.
Effective surface cleaning is therefore a critical part of modern foundry and forging production.
A clean surface can make subsequent inspection, machining, painting, and coating easier.
For foundries, shot blasting can help remove residual molding sand and surface contaminants. For forged components, it can remove oxide scale generated during heating and forging.
The required equipment depends heavily on workpiece characteristics.
Rubber tumble belt shot blasting machines are particularly suitable for small and medium-sized castings, forgings, heat-treated components, and machined parts that can withstand controlled tumbling.
Multiple components can be processed in batches, which makes the equipment suitable for manufacturers seeking high productivity.
For larger or irregular workpieces, hook-type equipment provides a different handling method.
Parts are suspended from hooks rather than being placed together in a batch. This makes the system suitable for heavier castings, machinery components, and complex parts.
When the production process involves continuous workpiece movement, through-type shot blasting machines can be integrated into automated production lines.
This is particularly useful for manufacturers with stable product specifications and high production volumes.
The abrasive is another important part of the process.
Jiangsu Jiuchang Machinery offers different abrasive products, including stainless steel shot, cast steel shot, cast steel grit, and premium cast steel shot.
The appropriate abrasive should be selected according to:
A high-performance blasting machine is only one part of the overall system. Wear-resistant components, blasting wheels, abrasive recovery, dust collection, and preventive maintenance all affect operating costs.
Jiangsu Jiuchang Machinery combines equipment and supporting components to help foundries and forging manufacturers establish more reliable surface treatment processes.
