An apparatus for treating an interior surface of a workpiece comprising at least three nozzles ejecting treating material, with a first one and a second one ejecting the treating material substantially along first and second collinear lines. A third one of the nozzles ejects the treating material substantially along a third line substantially perpendicular to the first and second lines. The treating material ejected from the first one intersects with the treating material ejected from the second one at a first intersection area to radially deflect to form a first radial spray. The treating material ejected from the third one intersects with the first radial spray at a second intersection area to form a second radial spray of treating material. The interior surface of the workpiece adjacent the second intersection area is treated with the treating material of the second radial spray.

An apparatus capable of efficiently performing a metal surface processing. The abrasive peening apparatus includes a processing tank storing abrasive particles and peening liquid, and including a bottom portion in which a workpiece is immersed in the peening liquid; a dispensing chamber having a plurality of recesses on an upper surface, and disposed in the bottom portion to dispense the peening liquid; a stirring nozzle disposed at a center of the recess directing vertically upward and connected to the dispensing chamber to eject the peening liquid; a peening nozzle immersed inside the processing tank to eject the peening liquid toward the workpiece; and a moving device moving the peening nozzle relative to the workpiece.

An abrading device includes a funnel and an outlet orifice disposed within the funnel for passage of abrasive material, where a distance between the outlet orifice and a bottom end of the funnel is adjustable. An exhaust tube is coupled to the funnel for withdrawal of spent abrasive material from the funnel.

A wet and dry abrasive media blasting system comprises a compressed air supply providing a supply of blast air and pot air. The blast air is communicated along a blast air supply line and pot air is communicated along a pot air supply line. A blast pot is configured to receive abrasive media and pot air and release abrasive media at a discharge and into a media conduit which communicated abrasive media to a mixing device. An air pressure amplifier disposed on the pot air supply line is adapted to selectively increase the air pressure of a pot air head creating an over-pressure, such that the over-pressure which is pressure of pot air head less the pressure of the blast air is positive. The blast air and the abrasive media are mixed together in the mixing device to form a blast air media mixture which is communicated to a nozzle and discharged from the nozzle as a blast spray. The system further includes a metering valve disposed on the media conduit, downstream of the discharge, and up stream of the mixing device, the metering valve selectively controls the flow and therefore the amount of abrasive media communicated to the mixing device.

A shot processing apparatus in which a projection machine projects projection media onto a workpiece. The shot processing apparatus includes plural hanger transport devices and a control unit. The hanger transport devices are each, in a hanging state of a member on which a workpiece is set or a hanging state of a workpiece, capable of moving along a guide path inside the shot processing apparatus and capable of stopping. The hanger transport devices are also capable of providing self-identifying identification information. The control unit controls the hanger transport devices by outputting to each of the plural hanger transport devices a control signal appropriate to each of the hanger transport devices. This control is based on the identification information provided from each of the individual hanger transport devices and based on information related to each of the individual hanger transport devices stored in advance in association with the identification information.
