Combining Indexing and Rotary Spindle Technologies in One Advanced Blast System

Combining the engineering expertise behind the Guyson Multiblast® RSB and RXS systems, the Multiblast® RXSB is a unique indexing and rotary spindle blasting system.

The cabinet has been designed to facilitate the batch processing of large components. Its indexing functionality allows for up to four components to be loaded and processed for each blast cycle. This significantly increases throughput compared with a traditional RSB system.

Components are processed using two rear mounted pressure feed blast nozzles, both of which are fully adjustable to ensure optimal coverage. For this application, the first blast gun drive is configured to blast the internal surfaces of the component, while the second gun drive treats the external surfaces. Both blast guns move vertically along the component via their respective gun drives. Combined with spindle component rotation, this ensures comprehensive coverage and consistent blast results.

Full control of the blasting parameters is provided through an integrated, user-friendly HMI/PLC interface. Operators can adjust settings such as blast gun traversal speed, number of passes and air wash functionality, enabling each programmed recipe to be optimised for the specific application.

The system is completed by a Guyson Model CY600/12 cyclone reclamation system, together with a Model C800 dust collector. The CY600/12 efficiently draws spent blast media from the base of the cabinet and separates reusable media from dust and debris. To ensure uninterrupted operation, the system is also equipped with and automatic media top-up hopper, which periodically adds fresh blast media to reclaimed media as required.
