Frohn Blasting Media Designed for Diverse Applications

FABTECH 2020: Products used for blast cleaning, deburring, surface improvement, surface finishing, testing and more.

Frohn manufactures blasting media as well as accessories needed to test the blasting process, including almen strips. Its cut-wire media is available as cut or conditioned for reproducible shot peening automotive and aircraft transmission parts. According to the company, its structural purity and grain shape facilitate precisely configured blasting for maximized service life and efficiency. The company also offers specialty shot blast media, stainless steel cut wire (SAE 302/304/430 grades); Zinc-Al-Alloy and Al-Alloy cut wire. Spherinox CR is an effective substitute for conventional CrNi blasting media. It presents the optimal price-performance ratio and is used specifically in the various stages of aluminium processing. This media is available in multiple sizes for use in diverse applications.

Finishing Mills, Separators Offer Easy, Efficient Operation

FABTECH 2020: Sweco's Round Separator and Finishing Mill are designed to provide efficient finishing processes.

Sweco’s round separator and finishing mill are both designed for efficient finishing processes. The vibro-energy round separator can separate solids from liquids or segregate dry materials into various sizes. Particles as fine as 400 mesh (37 microns) can be screened, with up to four screen decks incorporated in one separator. For the additive manufacturing industry, the round separator is used to collect, screen and rebottle reclaimed metal powder from 3D metal printers.

The Vibro-Energy Finishing Mill utilizes less energy per cubic foot of capacity and is less prone to drive failures, according to the company. The three-dimensional vibro-energy motion subjects parts and media to a consistent high-frequency tilting movement as they travel in a helical/orbital path around the chamber. The resulting compressive scrubbing action cleans and also removes burrs, round sharp corners, and smooths out surface impressions. The vertical/horizontal amplitudes and rate of vibration are adjustable, enabling finishing requirements to be handled quickly and efficiently.
