Foundry shot blasting removes moulding sand, oxide scale and parting-line residue from ferrous and non-ferrous castings. Airo Shot Blast Equipments sizes hanger, tumblast and table machines to the casting weight, core complexity and required cleanliness before machining or paint.
Typical line work includes engine blocks, housings, manhole covers and general engineering castings. Send the part mix, target finish and throughput — an engineer replies with a budgetary setup.
Common production scenarios where shot blasting delivers the best finish, adhesion and throughput.
Pre-paint / Powder-coat prep
Remove mill scale and create a controlled profile for strong coating adhesion (Sa 2.5 / Sa 3).
Anti-corrosion surface cleaning
Uniform blast cleaning for steel plates, beams and fabricated structures before primer / epoxy.
Structural & fabrication lines
High-throughput processing on conveyor / roller lines with consistent finish and repeatable output.
Weld seam / scale removal
Clean weld areas, edges and heat-affected zones to improve coating quality and inspection readiness.
Deburring & edge rounding
Remove burrs and sharp edges on components for safer handling and better downstream fit-up.
Single-pass finish targets
Optimized media + wheel setup to achieve full cleaning in one pass with predictable surface profile.
A practical flow used on production lines to consistently hit Sa 2.5 / Sa 3 targets with the right profile.

Typical ranges for roller conveyor blasting lines. Final specs depend on job size, wheel count and finish target.
| Parameter | Typical value / range |
|---|---|
| Cleanliness standard | Sa 2.5 (standard) / Sa 3 (on request) |
| Throughput | 500–3000 kg/hr (depends on section size, rust grade & line speed) |
| Surface profile | Rz 40–70 µm (achieved by shot/grit mix and wheel parameters) |
| Blast wheels | 4–8 units (coverage on all 4 sides, depending on chamber design) |
| Throwing speed | 70–80 m/s (wheel dependent) |
