Abrasive air wash separators — mechanical and cyclonic systems for blast rooms

CYM Materiales manufactures a complete line of abrasive air wash separators for compressed air blast rooms. ARC separators recover, clean and classify abrasive in use, separating dust, fine particles and spent abrasive fragments from reusable abrasive. Clean, well-classified abrasive ensures blasting quality and process reproducibility, reduces abrasive consumption and protects projection equipment.

ARC mechanical separators use an air wash curtain system: the abrasive falls as a thin curtain in front of an air current that carries away dust and fine particles, while good abrasive passes to the reuse hopper. Available models range from low-production portable units (ARC ECO) to portable systems for site work and small blast rooms (ARC COMPACTO in ARC 250 and ARC 500 versions) and stationary installations for blast rooms of any capacity (ARC ESTACIONARIO).

For processes using light abrasives — glass beads, aluminium oxide, sand and non-metallic abrasives — the ARC LIGHT ABRASIVES system incorporates a cyclonic separator that classifies abrasive with greater efficiency without damaging delicate particles, making it the reference solution for decorative finishing on stainless steel and aluminium, and for shot peening with glass beads.

Applications

Uses and shot blasting processes

CYM Materiales ARC separators integrate with compressed air blast rooms of any capacity. Model selection depends on abrasive throughput, abrasive type, mobility requirements and whether the unit will operate as a fixed installation or on site.

MECHANICAL SYSTEMS — AIR WASH CURTAIN

MECHANICAL SYSTEMS — AIR WASH CURTAIN

  • Gravitational separation by air wash curtain — abrasive falls in front of air current that carries away dust
  • ARC ECO: wheeled portable with control panel — low production and site work
  • ARC COMPACTO: single-structure portable with bucket elevator — site and small blast rooms
  • ARC ESTACIONARIO: fixed installation of any capacity — custom engineered
  • Integrated dust collector depending on model
  • Purified abrasive returned to blast pot for immediate reuse
CYCLONIC SYSTEM — LIGHT ABRASIVES

CYCLONIC SYSTEM — LIGHT ABRASIVES

  • Cyclonic separation for light abrasives: glass beads, aluminium oxide, sand, garnet
  • Classifies abrasive without damaging delicate particles or reducing service life
  • Cartridge dust collector with automatic pulse jet cleaning
  • Suction and return of purified abrasive to blast pot
  • Reference solution for decorative finishing on stainless steel and aluminium
  • Suitable for glass bead shot peening and aluminium oxide blasting
