Automatic SandBlasting Systems & Spare Parts
Barrel SandBlasting Machine
Pangborn Barrel Blast Machine’s tumbling action, provided by the endless rubber or metal internal conveyor, ensures all surfaces of the work piece are cleaned in one loading. The heavy-duty Pangborn Barrel Blast Machine is exclusively designed to thoroughly clean all types of castings, forgings, weldments, heat-treated work, and stampings. Our barrel blast machines are designed to process a variety of work pieces that can be tumbled, and the endless conveyor belt and lateral round place creates a trough in which work pieces are treated. The loading and unloading process is specifically geared to the work piece and workspace requirements. The optimum adjustment of the blast capacity is specified to the required blasting result. The tumbling action provided by the rubber or metal conveyor ensures that all surfaces of the work piece are cleaned in a single batch. Pangborn offers a variety of barrel sizes depending on the size of the work pieces being blasted. Most often, larger machines are used for high output cleaning on medium sized castings, forgings, or fabricated work pieces. Barrel Blast Machines allow for a high volume of work pieces to be processed in a small working area. Highly configurable, these machines can be delivered with a rubber or metal conveyor, vibratory conveyor, magnetic separator, hydraulic loader, unloading conveyor, and dust collector.
Bogie Work Car Blast Machines
Pangborn Bogie Work Car Blast Machines are ideal for the treatment of large and heavy castings and forgings. Pangborn Bogie Work Car Blast Machine is ideal for large and heavy castings and forgings ranging from 5 to 200 tons, such as marine engines, energy and power generation components, and wind towers. Blast wheels are installed on oscillating panels to optimize abrasive streams. The use of the transport bogie with a rotary table allows work pieces to be loaded and unloaded outside the blast chamber by cranes and moved safely into and out of the machine. The moving portal for blast wheel arrangements allows for reduced installation space when blasting very large work pieces. Once loaded, the work is first shot blasted by blast wheels, and if necessary, additional air blasting is performed manually by an operator within the blast chamber. This enables areas of the work piece to be cleaned that otherwise would not be cleaned by the blast wheel and shot blasting process.
Continuous Barrel Machine
The Pangborn Continuous Barrel Machine line is a reliable and cost-effective solution for automatic handling of heavy duty mixed work piece loads or when customers have a large and continuous flow of work to be cleaned. Blast cleaning cycles are fully adjustable with programs to modify process parameters (including abrasive flow and passage speed) depending on the needs of the line or the work pieces. Pangborn offers a variety of barrel sizes to accommodate a wide range of work piece sizes being blasted. The Continuous Barrel Machine can blast up to 37 tons of per hour. Several loading and unloading solutions are available.

RotoDrum Blast Machines
Pangborn’s RotoDrum Blast Machines are durable rotating drum machines with versatile drum design to allow efficient tumbling of work pieces with no pinch points, catch points, or sharp edges.
Pangborn’s RotoDrum Blasting Machines are the heaviest and most durable rotating drum machines available. Versatile, solid manganese drums allow efficient tumbling of work pieces with no pinch points. The solid welded drum is manufactured with up to ¾” (19 mm) thick manganese steel (zero catch points, no sharp edges to nick or damage work pieces). The loading is carried out via the loading bucket feeder. The capacity of the feeder corresponds to that of the blasting machine. To prevent the discharge or loss of blasting abrasives, the loading duct is equipped with a rubber pendulum seal. The machine blasts the work pieces in the drum with a single blast wheel positioned on the loading door. The bottom of the drum is designed to ensure that rotation of the batch is in both longitudinal and radial directions. When loading the work pieces into the drum, the loading door is opened upwards. When unloading the work pieces, the drum is opened downwards so parts empty onto a vibration conveyor chute. Superior design, quality, and rugged construction make the Pangborn RotoDrum Blast Machines extremely reliable and easy to maintain. Pangborn’s RotoDrum Blast Machines are cost-effective and space-saving rotating drum systems. Versatile, solid manganese drums allow efficient tumbling of work pieces with no pinch points.

Gripper Blast Machines
Pangborn Gripper Blast Machines are the perfect surface cleaning machines for engine blocks and heads, grey iron, and aluminum.
Pangborn Gripper Blast Machines offer high volume production and minimal or no-tooling changes while processing a large volume of different size and configuration engine blocks, crank cases, gear housings, manifolds, heads, transmission cases, and other vehicle parts. Cleaning deep cavities in a cast iron or light metal casting quickly and cost effectively has always presented a challenge to companies in the automotive and off-highway vehicle industries. The size and weight of engine block and head components, as well as the presence of blind passages and internal cavities, make cleaning much more complicated.
When high volume production, flexibility, efficiency, minimal down-time, and cost-effective technical solutions are required, the fully automatic Pangborn Gripper Blast Machines are the preferred choice. The Gripper Blast Machines clean engine blocks in varying sizes – from 4 cylinders to V10 diesels. The hydraulic load/unload mechanism is equipped with positive stop location to accurately position parts in the gripper. Depending on work piece configuration, the gripper rotation can be programmed to achieve the desired coverage and an improved cleaning efficiency on specific areas. The machine is equipped with a special system designed to rotate work pieces on one or two axes to evacuate residual abrasives after discharging. Advanced solutions for work piece handling are also available. All sides of the work piece are exposed to blasting, and the gripper jaw rotation allows for proper abrasive drainage. Gripper blast machines from Pangborn are tailored to each customer’s unique requirements and specifications.

Hanger Hook Blast Machines
Pangborn Hanger Hook Blast Machines are versatile blast cleaning machines for mixed loads of medium and large work pieces that frequently include fragile or irregularly shaped work pieces.
Pangborn’s Hanger Hook Blast Machines are the ideal all-purpose blasting machines. They are designed to handle mixed loads of medium and large components as well as loads with fragile or irregularly shaped work pieces. They are specifically designed to thoroughly clean work that cannot touch. There is no movement between the work and no part-on-part contact ensuring complete blast coverage without tumbling damage or tangling parts. While a variety of sizes and configurations are available, a standard hook blasting machine has a generous work cylinder. Standard models come with three blast wheels, and more can be added as necessary for even greater coverage. A Hanger Hook machine ensures better abrasive coverage by rotating or spinning the hook under the abrasive wheel streams while stopping in multiple positions. The ergonomics of work piece loading is improved with lifting hooks and optional self-powered trolleys. For automatic operation sequences or integration of the shot blast machine into a continuous production line, loading and unloading can be performed without operator assistance. In this case, an industrial robot is used which also serves to link the individual manufacturing sequences. Versatile, economical, and reliable, the Hanger Hook Blast Machine is designed as an all-purpose blast cleaning unit.
