  • Publication number: 20230191719
    Abstract: A re-circulatory blasting device obtained is capable of performing stable treatment for a prolonged period of time even in cases in which an elastic abrasive employed has abrasive grains adhered to the surface of elastic cores. An elastic abrasive regeneration device provided to the blasting device regenerates elastic abrasive employed for re-circulation. The elastic abrasive regeneration device includes a mixer and a combining unit. Recovered abrasive fed in from an abrasive recovery section is mixed in the mixer with abrasive grains fed in from an abrasive grain feeder, and the abrasive grains are adhered to the surface of the cores of the recovered abrasive. In the combining unit, the abrasive grains are pressed against and combined to the surface of the cores by passing an aggregated state of the recovered abrasive mixed by the mixer along a constricted flow path having a flow path cross-sectional area that gradually narrows.

  • Patent number: 10131036
    Abstract: To obtain a circulation-type blasting device which enables stable processing for a long period of time even in a case that an elastic abrasive of which abrasive grains are attached to a surface of an elastic core are used. A circulation-type blasting device is provided with a device for recycling an elastic abrasive for recycling all or a part of elastic abrasive used in a cyclic way, and the device for recycling the elastic abrasive is provided with a mixing unit for mixing recovered abrasives recovered from an abrasive recovery unit and abrasive grains introduced from an abrasive grain supplying unit in a gas flow by introducing the abrasive grains and the recovered abrasive in the gas flow to generate a solid-gas biphase flow, and a combining unit composed of at least one bent space to which the solid-gas biphase flow is introduced.
