Deburring drill rod threads
Leading industrial finishing equipment manufacturer Guyson International has just completed a repeat order of a Euroblast 10PF side loading blast system from one of the world’s leading providers of products, services and integrated solutions for oil and gas exploration who had a requirement for a large blast cabinet capable of handling long and heavy drill rod couplings whilst blast deburring the threaded area at the end of the rods.
The customer is still using the original Guyson pressure fed blast system made for them over ten years ago, but now to meet increased demand they also needed an additional blast system, with a twin pot this time and a slightly larger cabinet.
They also wanted their original blast system up-rating to a twin pot system to match; which Guyson successfully retrofitted.
This new blast system features a Guyson Euroblast 10PF cabinet, fitted with side loading frame capable of handling their long tubular parts and fitted with ball bearings rollers to facilitate rotation of the component.
The cabinet is equipped with a left side cut out above the side loader which is supplied with a number of differently sized templates to accommodate various pipe diameters and also with a blanking plate so the blast cabinet can used as a conventional blast cabinet as well. All delivering maximum flexibility for the customer.
The blast system includes twin 55 litre pressure pots (one for carbon steel and one for stainless steel blast media with a changeover valve) and a single large CY600/16 cyclone. Twin blast nozzles feed into the cabinet, where there is also a manually operated turntable and removable fixturing used for locating the ends of the drill rods and helping to rotate the tubes. A Guyson C800 dust collector completes this system.
