Cylinder Blast Machines
For gas and oxygen cylinders blasting equipment is used to blastclean the insides during production and remove corrosion such as rust and scale during rebuilding.
Cylinders are positioned in the blasting stations either manually or by means of lifting gears and roller conveyors or by robot (see illustration above).
Cylinders are processed vertically to ensure that abrasive gravitates downwards.
Blasting of oxygen bottles
Oxygen bottles are processed in specially engineered blast cabinets:
- Single-station cabinet for automated blasting
- 3-station cabinet for manual blasting
Additional cleaning by rapping
In most cases cylinders are only airpurged after blasting.
In cases where especially high demands are placed on the "cleanliness" the cylinders are conveyed to a rapping station where any remainders of abrasive and debris are removed.
- Pneumatic rapping station
- Twin rapping station
