Development of a satellite shot blasting machine for shot blasting gas cartridges
Together with our representative for the Czech market, we developed a new type of shot blasting plant, custom-designed according to the specific requirements of a customer in the metalworking sector. The project is the result of close collaboration between the representative, the end user, and our technical team, from the initial testing phase to the final technical solution.
The customer, an established European manufacturer of steel gas cartridges, previously used a rotary hook shot blasting machine from a competing supplier. Our challenge was not only to propose a new machine, but to convince the customer of a real technological upgrade and provide measurable improvements in terms of performance and efficiency.
Testing as the key to the decision
- cleaning efficiency,
- surface quality,
- process repeatability,
- cycle time.
Before the final decision, we organized benchmark tests in Slovenia together with our representative and the customer, at a site where a Gostol TST rotary hook shot blasting plant is in operation.
The customer evaluated the following aspects on the sample pieces:
The result was clear: the shot blasting cycle time was reduced from 6 minutes to 3.5 minutes, that is, almost 50% less compared to the existing competitor's machine. Such a difference had a direct and significant impact on productivity and the overall cost-effectiveness of production.
Development of a tailor-made solution: satellite shot blasting system with rotating hook
Based on in-depth discussions with the customer and the results of the tests carried out, we developed a new system configuration. The solution is a satellite shot blasting machine with a rotating hook, in which each chamber is equipped with rotating hooks on which the parts are suspended. This configuration allows:
The system is optimized for shot blasting steel gas cartridges, where treatment uniformity, clean surface, and reliable preparation for subsequent technological phases are fundamental requirements.
Significant increase in productivity
With the implementation of the new satellite shot blasting machine with rotating hook, the customer achieved: The project clearly demonstrates that the combination of real-world testing, open communication, and joint development is the key to providing an optimal technical solution. This project was not simply the sale of a new machine, but a clear example of successful development based on partnership, which exceeded initial expectations both technically and economically. Projects of this kind confirm our commitment to customized, efficient, and sustainable long-term solutions in the field of shot blasting technology.
