The custom SP-10 semi-automatic grit blast system from Guyson completely blasts and batch processes gas turbine blades in one operation. It uses six guns mounted to a gun oscillator that moves at a programmed rpm and a precision 150/16 reclaim system with a vibrator and heater installed on the media hopper to keep fine 240 grit alumina oxide flowing. Table speed is adjustable to easily handle the large 34 in diameter segmented polyurethane coated basket with its 100 lb load. (first view)

The Guyson Corporation of U.S.A. (Saratoga Springs, NY) designed and built a custom SP-10 semi-automatic grit blast system for batch processing gas turbine blades. This impressive and unique system can completely blast the blades in one operation. The SP-10 semi-automatic grit blast system was developed by using their precision 150/16 reclaim system with a vibrator and heater installed on the media hopper to keep the fine 240 grit alumina oxide flowing. Six guns are mounted to the gun oscillator, which moves at a programmed rpm that is adjustable on the human-machine interface (HMI). The table speed is also adjustable through the HMI and can easily handle the large 34 in diameter basket and its 100 lb load. A vertical door design provides the protection required to comply with the maximum 80 dBA noise level requirement while also making the loading and unloading of the basket segments a breeze.

The secret to being able to completely blast the blades is the segmented polyurethane coated basket, which is custom engineered to prevent part-on-part impingement and masking. Guyson can build custom blasting systems similar to the one shown in the video below in just under 16 weeks or less.
