Used blasting systems for foundries - buy & sell

A shot blasting machine is a machine for cleaning the surfaces of metal parts. Blasting systems are used in foundries to remove sand, scale (oxide layers) and small burrs from cast parts after demoulding. Blasting gives the workpieces a clean surface for further processing or quality inspection. In short, blasting systems are used to deburr, desand and clean cast surfaces using accelerated blasting media (e.g. steel balls).

A distinction is mainly made between overhead conveyor blast machines and throughfeed blast machines. In overhead conveyor systems, the parts hang on hooks and are blasted in batches – ideal for large, heavy or complex workpieces. Continuous feed systems feed the parts continuously through the blast cabinet, for example on roller conveyors or in troughed belts, which is suitable for large quantities and series production. There are also special designs (e.g. barrel blasting systems for small bulk parts), but the focus is on overhead conveyors and through-feed systems, as they cover most foundry requirements.

If you want to buy a used blasting system, you should pay attention to several points: The technical condition (blast machine maintenance) of the machine is crucial – check wear parts such as blast wheels, inner panelling of the blast chamber and filter elements of the dust extraction system. The control technology (electrics/electronics) should also be functional and as up-to-date as possible. It is also important that spare parts are available for the manufacturer and model in question. Finally, the size and performance data of the system play a role: Make sure that the capacity (e.g. maximum workpiece dimensions, batch weight) and the throughput rate (e.g. tonnes/hour of blasting media circulation) match your requirements. If in doubt, TCT Tesic will support you in the evaluation and selection of suitable used blasting systems.

If you would like to sell a blasting machine, TCT Tesic is the right contact. We will add your machine to our portfolio and take care of marketing it in our international network. Firstly, the current condition of the machine is recorded (technical details, pictures, history). We then search specifically for buyers for whom your machine is suitable – e.g. foundries that favour precisely this capacity or manufacturer. We coordinate viewing appointments, negotiate the conditions if there is interest and accompany the sales process through to safe dismantling and collection. Thanks to our experience, you will achieve a fair market price and a swift, professional transaction.

No, our focus is on blasting systems for foundries with blast wheel technology (i.e. shot blasting systems). Sandblasting systems (compressed air-operated blasters) or dry ice cleaning systems are not part of our speciality, as they are rarely used in foundries. However, if you are looking for a solution for cleaning your workpieces, we will be happy to advise you on which blasting process is best suited to your application – although our focus is on classic used foundry blasting systems and their accessories, such as blasting system extraction. In addition, we also offer you a blasting system service.

Several manufacturers of blasting systems have proven themselves in foundries over the years. Systems from Wheelabrator and DISA (today often under the joint Norican group, known for robust and powerful technology) are very common. German manufacturers such as Rump or the long-established company Vogel & Schemann are also frequently found in foundries. Other well-known manufacturers include Pangborn, Schlick, Gutmann and Rösler blasting systems. Each brand has its own specialities – if required, we will be happy to explain the differences and advantages of the individual models, e.g. of automatic blasting systems, so that you can make the right choice for your production
