Respect for the environment is becoming increasingly important in our daily lives. We are changing our habits and evolving. The environmental aspect is also becoming increasingly important in wheel blast technology. In addition to the positive environmental aspect, many users often also benefit from comparatively lower operating costs.
AGTOS also addresses this issue and observes the following:
When planning machinery, needs-based activation of turbines and the abrasive supply must be ensured. No continuous blasting occurs without workpieces. This relieves stress on the shot blast machine and reduces abrasive and energy consumption. This principle can be equally applied to cleaning of workpieces (e.g. when blowing off residual abrasive).
Automatic switch-off of the blasting systems in the event of waiting times. The blasting agent circuit and the filter system run on a time-controlled basis.
Blasting media cleaning is essential for good wear values. Thanks to sensible adjustment options for air separation, a lot of material and abrasive can be saved by reducing wear in the blasting machine.
Drive efficiency classes are taken into consideration when designing AGTOS shot blasting machines.
Actuators for shell valves contribute to efficiency, as turbines can only be fed abrasive volumes to suit immediate needs.
Frequency converters for the turbine motors allow the speed to be adapted to the process. This has an impact on wear and energy consumption.
Savings can also be made here through needs-based setting of frequency converters for tumble belt or wire mesh belt conveyor drives.
