Shot Blasting Cabinet

If you are looking to buy a shot blasting cabinet, Airo Shot Blast offers industrial configurations with manual, semi-automatic, and automatic options. Request a price, specifications, and quotation based on your component, abrasive media, production volume, and required surface finish.

A shotblasting cabinet is an enclosed abrasive blasting machine used for surface cleaning, rust removal, paint stripping, deburring, and surface preparation. The right cabinet depends on the abrasive media and blasting process, with pressure, suction, and wet blasting cabinets available for different component sizes, finishes, and production requirements.

What Is a Shot Blasting Cabinet?

A shot blasting cabinet is a fully enclosed unit that combines a blasting mechanism, dust collector, and glove ports in one package, letting an operator clean a component by hand while abrasive media stay fully contained. The operator works through a two-hole glove section in the cabinet front, viewing the part through a window while the cabinet contains abrasive media.

Common abrasive media used in these cabinets include steel shot, 30/60 mesh sand, steel grit, aluminium oxide, and copper slag - selected based on the material and finish required.

Only the pressure, wet, and suction blasting cabinets are different. A two-hole area in front of the cabinet in which the user can insert their hands into glove-equipped gauntlets to blast a workpiece. A closed container that contains a dust collector, a shot blasting machine, gloves, a shot blasting hopper, etc., makes up the cabinet. An air gun is used outside the cabinet to remove leftover particles from a workpiece's surface after shot blasting is completed.

Airless vs. Air-Operated Cabinets

Airless (wheel-based) cabinets use a centrifugal blast wheel to throw abrasive mechanically - no compressed air needed for the blasting action itself. Tumblast shot blasting machine and similar rubber-belt configurations fall into this category.

• Tumblast Shot Blasting Machine: uses continuous tumbling to clean and finish small to medium-sized castings, forgings, and metal components in batches.
• Conveyor shot blasting machines: In high-production environments, conveyor shot blasting machines are designed to continually polish the surfaces of metal parts, plates, profiles, and components.
• Diabola Shot Blasting Machine: Provides consistent cleaning, descaling, and surface preparation while efficiently blasting small and medium-sized components in batches.
• Belt Conveyor Shot Blasting Machine: efficiently removes surface contaminants, rust, and scale from metal components while treating them continuously.
• Hanger Shot Blasting Machine: The hanger-type shot blasting machine targets large, heavy, and complex components that require thorough 360° surface cleaning while suspended on hangers.
• Rotary Barrel Shot Blasting Machine: is used for batch cleaning, deburring, descaling, and surface finishing of small and medium-sized components.

Air-operated (pneumatic) cabinets use compressed air to propel abrasive and are split into three mechanisms:

• Pressure Blasting Cabinet: pressurizes abrasive directly for faster, more aggressive cleaning
• Suction Blasting Cabinet: draws abrasive up through a hose using vacuum, for gentler, more controlled cleaning
• Wet Blasting Cabinet: mixes abrasive with water for dust-free, precision finishing

How Abrasive Recovery Works

Spent abrasive falls through a grate into the cabinet hopper, where a reclaimer separates it from dust and debris. Oversize particles are screened out, and clean abrasive returns to the hopper for reuse. Dust and fines are drawn into a dust collector - either a reclaimer-type unit (recovering abrasive for reuse) or a fabric bag type (trapping dust inside a fabric bag) - keeping the process both economical and relatively clean.

Choosing Between Manual and Automatic Blasting Cabinet

Automatic shot blasting cabinets cost more than manually operated ones, reflecting the added control systems and reduced operator involvement. Manual cabinets suit lower-volume or varied-part work where an operator's direct control matters; automatic configurations suit repetitive, high-volume production where consistency across every part is the priority.

Shot Blasting Cabinet Price

Shot Blasting Cabinet Price depends on the size of the workpiece and the production requirements. Automatic shot blast cabinet price is high corresponded to a manually operated shot blast cabinet. Shot blasting cabinet price is low compared to other industries.

Airo Shot Blast is the largest shot blasting cabinet manufacturer in India. Our large production decreases the cost of the blasting cabinet. Blast cabinets are of two types: airless shot blaster cabinets and air-operated shot blast cabinets (Pneumatic Operated). Pneumatic blasting cabinets work on three principles: suction blasting cabinet, pressure blasting cabinet, and wet blasting cabinet. Compressed air is required for operating this type of blasting cabinet.

We are also an Exporter and Supplier of various types of blasting cabinets, such as sand blasting cabinet, shot blasting cabinets, and grit blasting cabinets are further categorized into pressure blasting cabinets, wet blasting cabinets, and suction blasting cabinets.
