The Airless Shot Blasting Machine - Tunnel Type is a continuous, high-production system for cleaning long or flat components such as plates, structures, pipes, beams, and sections. Components pass through the blast chamber on a conveyor while multiple blast wheel units clean the whole surface in a single pass.
This is the parent tunnel system, offered in three conveyor configurations to suit the job: roller conveyor for plates and beams, belt or chain conveyor for heavy or irregular fabrications, and diabolo rollers that rotate pipes and round jobs for full circumferential cleaning. It suits fabrication lines that need uninterrupted production, fast throughput, and reliable surface preparation before painting or coating.
Available Configurations
*Advanced machine for cold forging, railway boogie work and shot pinning needs
Smart Process Overview
Components are loaded onto the inlet conveyor and carried into the blast chamber. Inside the tunnel, several high-speed shot blasting turbine units set at optimized angles throw abrasive onto the surfaces from every side.
The conveyor keeps moving so the whole length of the part is exposed to the stream for complete, even cleaning. For pipes or round jobs, diabolo rollers rotate the component as it passes, so the full circumference is reached.
Used abrasive falls into the hopper and is recovered through screw conveyors, a bucket elevator, and an air wash separator for reuse. The dust collector extracts dust and fines, and cleaned components exit on the outlet conveyor ready for the next process.
