A shot peening efficiency system for separating reusable abrasive media from non-reusable media includes a housing having an opening configured to receive an abrasive media inlet valve; and a separator assembly disposed within the housing, the separator assembly comprising at least one mesh screen and at least one vibratory motor. The housing includes a main channel having a first channel for reusable abrasive media and a second channel for non-reusable abrasive media. The separator assembly is configured to separate reusable abrasive media from non-reusable abrasive media by passing the reusable abrasive media via the first channel and by passing the non-reusable abrasive media via the second channel. The first channel terminates at a reusable abrasive media outlet valve connected to at least one first abrasive media hopper; the second channel terminates at an abrasive media discard outlet valve connected to at least one second abrasive media hopper.

A method for manufacturing a structure on a surface of a workpiece (1) is disclosed, the method having the following steps: applying a liquid base layer (2) onto the surface of the workpiece (1); spraying on at least one droplet (3) into the not yet congealed base layer (2), wherein the at least one droplet (3) at least partially, preferably completely, penetrates into the base layer (2); fixing the base layer (2); and at least partially removing the at least one droplet (3). Further, a second method having the following steps is disclosed: spraying on at least one droplet (3) onto the surface of the workpiece (1); applying a liquid base layer (2) onto the surface of the workpiece (1), wherein the base layer (2) flows around the at least one droplet (3) and preferably at least partially covers the at least one droplet (3); fixing the base layer (2); at least partially removing the at least one droplet (3). Finally, a device for performing the methods is disclosed.

Provided is a centrifuge media separator for separating blast particulate from fine particulate carried by air flowing from a blast cabinet and through the media separator. The centrifuge media separator comprises an upper panel, a lower panel, and an outer wall. The upper panel has a central opening formed therein. The outer wall is configured in a truncated logarithmic shape and which extends between the upper and lower panels. The outer wall has at least one particulate escape aperture formed therein. The upper panel, lower panel and outer wall collectively define a curvilinear air passageway having an inlet and an outlet. An air foil extends from the outer wall in to the air passageway. The distance than the air foil extends in to the air passageway is adjustable. The inlet is configured to allow a flow of air to enter the air passageway and circulate therethrough toward the outlet. The escape aperture is configured to exhaust the blast particulate out of the passageway. The central opening is configured to exhaust the fine particulate out of the passageway.

The present disclosure provides for an abrasive blasting remote assembly having a shroud and a deadman lever pivotally connected to the shroud. The deadman lever is pitoval between a closed operating position and a released position. In the closed operating position, the deadman ever engages a momentary deadman switch disposed within the shroud. The momentary deadman switch is electrically connected to a wireless transmitter circuit board, which sends a wireless operational signal to a blasting pot wireless receiver to activate airflow through a blasting hose from a blasting pot, for the movement of abrasive media through the blasting hose, when the deadman lever depresses the momentary deadman switch in the closed operating position.

A method for treating a surface of a fibre composite component, wherein an abrasive removal of the surface of the fibre composite component takes place by blasting a removing agent transported by a gaseous transporting fluid onto the surface of the fibre composite component by a feed nozzle and a suction extraction of the removing agent and material removed by the removing agent takes place by an extraction nozzle arranged in the region of the feed nozzle.

A device for removing foreign matter from a roll surface. The device includes a blast processing unit and a press unit. The blast processing unit includes an ejection unit configured to eject a projectile material at a surface of a roll that conveys a steel strip inside a heating furnace, and a recovery unit configured to recover the projectile material. The press unit is configured to press the blast processing unit toward the surface of the roll.

A fluid jet cutting device for sectioning materials is provided. The device includes a compact and portable body having an equipment chamber accessible through a first panel, a working chamber accessible through a second panel and a receptacle in communication with the working chamber. A pump assembly and motor are removably positioned on a base in the equipment chamber. A guide assembly is positioned in the working chamber and a cutting head having a nozzle is movably coupled to the guide assembly for movement along three axes. A drive assembly moves the cutting head along the guide assembly. A clamp for holding a work piece includes a first face and a second face movable relative to the first face so as to secure regular, irregular or complex shaped work pieces. A basket is positioned in the receptacle below the clamp and the device may be controlled by way of a touch screen user interface.
