Ficep RB GL Shotblasting Systems
Sections and plates shotblasting with 11 kW power turbines
The shot blaster, model RB GL, is an excellent example of streamlined lean manufacturing techniques. The result is a very competitive price for the highest level of technology in wheel blast cleaning. This system is equipped with unique turbines which are the benchmark in shotblasting. The patented ETA system, which allows a uniform distributed shot pattern, called the hotspot, generates an incredible surface treatment.

Main Features
Shotblast Wheel
The RB GL is equipped with four Roto-Jet blast wheels offering excellent blasting performance and unbeatable service life. This is achieved due to the fact that the main blast components are made of hardened tool steel.
Shotblast Cabinet
The shotblast cabinet is completely manufactured from manganese, an extremely hard material. This surface can deal with shotblasting from 35HRC to more than 50HRC. In the hot spot area, an additional 10mm (3/8”) thick manganese plates are added.
Abrasive Removal Unit
Rotating brushes remove the shot left on the workpiece after the blasting process. A rotating screw conveyor is integrated to bring the shot back into circulation.
Cartridge Filter Unit
Rust and shot dust generated during the blasting process are exhausted by a cartridge filter unit designed in solid steel sheet and mounted on top of the machine. The filters clean the cartridges automatically and continuously using an air pressure pulse system.
Abrasive Shot Blast
During its circular movement inside the machine, the blast shot is continuously cleaned of contamination. For a good blasting result, a balanced mix of new and used blast shot is imperative.
Loading and Unloading
Blasting machines can be integrated into drilling and sawing lines thanks to cross transfers and conveyors to achieve a fully automatic system.
Advantages
- Patented ETA wheels for hotspot surface treatment feature a guarantee of higher productivity.
- Reduced maintenance costs.
- Reduced wear of abrasive so less replacement of shot is required.
- Higher availability of the machine due to longer “in production” intervals.
