Main Features of ITB Series

1. Conventional apron-type shot blast machines can let small, thin or acute objects penetrate into gaps between inner parts. ITB Series features single container construction for barrel parts to eliminate jamming and deformation.
2. The inner surface of barrels is made of high-manganese sheet steel in a special shape, in order to allow blasted shot particles to repel many times inside the barrel for increased blasting density. In addition, the infinitely varied projection direction results allows for a thorough reach such as the dead corners of objects. By this high density blasting with the stirring and repelling effect, ITB Series Shot Blast Machines enables shorter processing time than ordinary apron-type machines.
3. With conventional apron-type machines, some conveyance problems may occur such as: i) objects being caught at uneven portions of the rubber belt or ii) shot discharge opening and falling down under the cabinet, or iii) objects idling against the reverse rotation of the rubber belt and not being discharged. ITB Series can completely discharge objects because it consists of a single container structure and discharges objects by rotating and tilting the barrel.
4. The only expendable part in the projection chamber of the Barrel Type ITB Series Shot Peening Machine is the single container, while the number of parts -- such as rubber belts, pulleys, various liners, etc. -- for typical apron-type machine is close to 40. This feature contributes in labor and cost reduction.
