Custom Grit Blaster for Batch Processing

"When a major Fortune 500 aerospace company, who had built its reputation on being dependable, selected Guyson to design and build a custom grit blaster for batch processing gas turbine blades, the engineering team realized that this was something truly unique," said a company spokesperson. "The customer was involved throughout the design of the system and was impressed with how Guyson was able to completely blast the blades in one operation."

Guyson developed a SP-10 semi-automatic grit blast system using its precision 150/16 reclaim system with vibrator and heater installed on the media hopper to keep the fine 240 grit alumina oxide flowing. The six Guyson guns are mounted to the gun oscillator that moves at a programmed RPM, adjustable on the HMI. The table speed is also adjustable through the HMI and can handle the large 34" diameter basket and its 100 lb. load.

Guyson's vertical door design provides the protection required to comply with the maximum 80 DBA noise level requirement while also making the loading and unloading of the basket segments easy.

"The secret to being able to completely blast the blades is the segmented polyurethane coated basket. This basket was custom engineered to prevent part on part impingement and masking," said the spokesperson.
