LS Blaster How does it work

At the heart of the LS blaster is the LS TurboShot™impeller.

The LS TurboShot™ impeller consists
of eight blades mounted on a rotating drive shaft.
As shot enters the LS TurboShot™ housing, it is
fed directly into the path of the impeller blades to
create a blast stream that maximizes the impact/
coverage ratio. The LS TurboShot™ impeller features
replaceable, wear resistant blades to simplify
maintenance and reduce downtime. During the
blasting process abrasive media is metered through
feed tubes into the LS TurboShot™ blast wheel. The
rotating blast wheel accelerates the media creating
a shot pattern that covers the surfaces of the parts
passing through the machine. The continuous flow
of abrasive media strips rust, mill scale and other
surface contaminants from the metal.
The abrasive media is then recycled through the
system. Bottom wheels are fed by gravity, and top
and side wheels are resupplied by a bucket elevator
and augers. Additional screening of media and an
air wash help clear fines and any debris from the
abrasives. A dust collection system removes the
particulates which are stored in a drum for recycling.
