How Does a Hanger Shot Blasting Machine Work? Industrial Surface Preparation Guide

A hanger shot blasting machine works by bombarding workpieces, which are loaded onto a suspension system inside a closed cabin, with high-velocity abrasives propelled by centrifugal turbines. The continuous rotation of the hanger ensures that the abrasive media reaches every surface of the part, removing rust and scale uniformly.

What is a Hanger Shot Blasting Machine?

The hanger shot blasting machine (also known as a hook type machine) is the go-to solution for large and heavy components that cannot be tumbled due to their size or fragility. Strong Makine’s AK series provides a controlled environment where high-performance turbines project steel shots onto the rotating workpiece.
