Extended Wear Components Extended-wear components increase service life in an aggressive
or high-productive environment. These components are normally
very cost-effective because they reduce downtime as well as expenses
for repairs and maintenance. Rubber Curtains increase cabinet
life. These free-hanging liners, made of black 1/8" neoprene
and held in place with rubber knobs for easy replacement, actually
last longer than steel in an abrasive environment. White rubber
is also available to brighten the cabinet interior. Beyond protecting
the cabinet, these curtains resist discoloration much longer
than white paint on steel. Window protectors can be provided in clear plastic or perforated
screen to reduce clouding and pitting. Matting is offered for turntables and cabinet
floors to pad parts and prolong the life of steel support surfaces. Pro-Finish systems with reclaimers offer a number of protective
options:
- Heavy-duty, media-conveying duct made of smooth-wall, wire-reinforced
PVC for long service
- Inlet wear-plate (easily replaceable) to
protect the most vulnerable part of the reclaimer
- Urethane coating that extends the service life of interior
wear surfaces by five times
- Ultra-wear lining, as an alternative, that increases normal
service life by a factor of ten
Di-Carb® nozzles (tungsten carbide) are available for use
with steel abrasives and glass beads, as are boron carbide
nozzles for applications involving aluminum oxide, silicon
carbide and garnet.
Norton Sandblasting Equipment can assist you in selecting the
extended-wear components most beneficial in your air-blasting
operations. Media Control and Conditioning Options For more efficient cycling of fine media, a vibrating
screen can be added to the reclaimer
on Pro-Finish suction systems. On pressure systems, Empire's
automatic Sure-Flo media regulator,
in combination with the MG-78 CR exhaust valve,
can also be included to assure smooth, consistent operation.
These devices overcome
problems associated with very fine abrasives (200-300 mesh range),
low-density media (e.g. plastics and walnut shells), and high
humidity. In addition, Empire's automatic Sure-Flo regulator conserves
energy by retaining compressed air within the pressure vessel
between shut-down and start-up.
