PRODUCT NEWS: BLAST CLEANING The REDL 6-30/100 Shot Blast Machine | Rösler Oberflächentechnik GmbH DRAWN STEEL, also known as bright steel, is often used in the production of injection parts for diesel engines and must meet strict quality standards. A key stage in the manufacturing of drawn bright steel is the blast cleaning of the raw material prior to the drawing process. Recently, Rösler developed a continuous shot blast system for Saar-Blankstahl GmbH that allows the fully automatic blast cleaning of steel bars with diameters/cross-sectional dimensions of 24 up to 80 mm (approximately 1.0 – 3.2 inches). This system not only produces excellent descaling results but it also permits processing speeds of up to 60 meters (197 feet) per minute.
