An abrasive blasting machine for scale and flash removal has been developed by Almco. According to the manufacturer, the new Model ATB-7 offers greater cleaning speed and better time cycles than tumble blast units from other sources in effectively cleaning castings and other metal parts. Its compact size and unusual lift points top and bottom allow moving the machine from one location to another if required. Designed for safe operation and operator friendliness, the unit has numerous features including a Smartwheel blasting wheel that delivers 325 lb/min of abrasive at 300 ft/sec velocity, for faster cleaning and cycle times.
