Roller conveyance shot blast
VIKING Blast & Wash Systems has
released the newest blaster in its
industrial line of pass through blasters.
The RT 1212 has a blast width of 12"
by 12" tall.
The redesigned unit’s blast wheels
are arranged to blast leading and
trailing edges of the work area. It also
incorporates starters with phase loss
and imbalance protection. Viking’s
newest blasters feature zero
speed sensors as standard on the
driven end of abrasive conveyance
shafts, reducing down time when
components wear out or fail.
The air intake is aggressive and
allows for application of more air
through the abrasive stream, providing
cleaner abrasive and a cleaner cabinet.
The cabinets are made of 11-14 per cent
manganese or AR 500, depending on
the specific application.
Roller conveyance in the cabinet is
made of wear-resistant materials, and
Viking offers external roller conveyance
as an option. Roller conveyors have
variable speed capability as well as
reversing capability. The cabinet is lined
with replaceable ½"-thick cast chrome/
moly liners, giving a high degree of wear
resistance.
The standard offering covers most
applications, but it can also be fitted
with a rotary scalping drum, auxiliary
abrasive hoppers, and 7.5 HP or 10 HP
blast wheels rather than the standard
5 HP.
The unit is equipped with four 5 HP
VC9, direct drive blast wheels to deliver
high volume abrasive at 230ft/sec to
clean parts. All Viking cartridge style dust
collectors are sold with NFPA required
deflagration panels as standard.
