Industrial Shot Blaster
What Is Shot Blasting?
Shot blasting is an essential surface preparation technique widely employed across various industries, offering a powerful method for cleaning, polishing, or strengthening materials. At its core, shot blasting involves a machine that hurls small metallic or non-metallic particles, termed “shot”, at high speeds onto a surface. This action is predominantly used on metal and harder materials and is more aggressive than methods like sandblasting. The centrifugal wheel or turbine in the blasting machine plays a pivotal role, generating the force needed to accelerate the abrasive materials. As the shot impacts the surface, it not only clears away unwanted material but also produces a texture that enhances adhesion for future applications.
Peterborough (/ˈpiːtərbərə, -ˌbʌrə/ (About this soundlisten)) is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, England, with a population of 202,110 in 2017.[5] Historically part of Northamptonshire, it is 76 miles (122 km) north of London, on the River Nene which flows into the North Sea 30 miles (48 km) to the north-east. The railway station is an important stop on the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. Peterborough is also the largest city and borough in Cambridgeshire and the East Anglia area of England.
The local topography is flat, and in some places the land lies below sea level, for example in parts of the Fens to the east of Peterborough. Human settlement in the area began before the Bronze Age, as can be seen at the Flag Fen archaeological site to the east of the current city centre, also with evidence of Roman occupation. The Anglo-Saxon period saw the establishment of a monastery, Medeshamstede, which later became Peterborough Cathedral.
The population grew rapidly after the railways arrived in the 19th century, and Peterborough became an industrial centre, particularly known for its brick manufacture. After the Second World War, growth was limited until designation as a New Town in the 1960s. Housing and population are expanding and a £1 billion regeneration of the city centre and immediately surrounding area is under way. Industrial employment has fallen since then, a significant proportion of new jobs being in financial services and distribution.
