[Case Study] Removal of rust from cast metal parts on-site

Low-dust blast treatment sponge jet! Providing various cleaning and washing solutions!

We would like to introduce a case study that addresses the concerns of our customers involved in glass manufacturing. They were troubled by the issue of rust forming on the cast iron parts used to protect the furnace heaters, which caused rust to fall and adhere to the products. In response, we proposed on-site work using a "sponge jet," which involves blasting a medium that contains aluminum oxide particles, a polishing material, encapsulated in a special urethane sponge. As a result, since there was almost no dust generated, it was possible to carry out the work simply by enclosing the workspace without affecting the surroundings, and all processing was completed in one day without damaging the parts. [Issues] - There are over 200 parts, which raises the possibility of loss or mixing of parts. - The target parts are cast iron, which are prone to breakage. - The downtime of the furnace is short, and all rust removal work must be completed within a day and a half. - Since the work is done in the customer's factory using available space, sandblasting, which generates a lot of dust, cannot be used. - There are concerns that sandblasting may leave abrasive materials trapped in the gaps of the parts, causing malfunctions. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
