Abstract: The present invention provides a drum for a shot blasting apparatus that uniformly treats the works to be treated by increasing the level of agitation of the works that are buried at the bottom of the drum, and, further, suppressing the traces of collisions on the works, which traces are caused by the works colliding with each other. The drum comprises a hollow middle part, a lower-half part having the shape of a truncated cone, having a closed bottom, and having a projecting part for agitating that is connected to both the lower-half part and the middle part, and that agitates the works, wherein the projecting part for agitating has at least two surfaces, one being the surface for picking-up the works and the other being the surface for having the works slide down. The present invention also provides the shot blasting apparatus using the drum.

Abstract: To provide a novel shot-blasting machine to eliminate a dead space for a cover that shuts an opening for feeding and taking out works and to open and close the cover by moving a rotary drum around an axis. The machine has a cabinet 11, a rotary drum 13 having holes, and a centrifugal shooting machine 15. The rotary drum 13 moves, within the cabinet 11, around an axis through the positions for feeding, processing, and taking out the works. The cabinet 11 comprises a cover 51 for shutting an opening 11b for feeding and taking out the works. It has a wall 59 for sealing the side of the opening 11b. The cover 51 is integrated with the rotary drum 13 to move around the axis. It has walls 51a, 51b, 51d that fit the wall 59 for sealing. Lip seals 61, 63 seal the gap between the walls 51a, 51b, 51d of the cover 51 and the wall 59 for sealing.
