ID pipe blaster improved production rates
1. LS Industries ID Pipe Blaster<br />Improved Production RatesTypically a 8quot;
x 20' (203mm x 6m) pipe could take a manufacturer over 2 hours to blast and clean the part manually. With an automated ID Pipe Blast System from LS Industries, the pipe cleaning process can be completed in less than 20 minutes without the aid of a full time operator. The operator simply loads the part into the machine, enters the part dimensions on the optional Allen Bradley Panelview operator interface and selects Cycle Start. The ID Pipe Blast System does the rest. The automatic pipe seals move over the ends of the pipe and blasting is completed automatically by the machine. The system blasts the pipe wall on the entry stroke and blows the excess media out on the return stroke.<br />Improved Part QualityWith the introduction of automation into the customer's manufacturing process, the potential for human error and inconsistency is removed. In a manual environment, the operator is required to push a blast pipe in and out of the pipe many times hoping to get complete and uniform coverage. With the LS Industries ID Pipe Blast Equipment, the rotating part is blasted while turning a consistent, predetermined speed and the blast lance enters and exits the part at a consistent, predetermined speed. This allows for 100% coverage, 100% of the time<br />Improved Employee Work EnvironmentPrior to implementing the ID Pipe Blast System in a customer's facility, an operator would typically load the part onto a cart and wheel it into a large, often unsealed walk-in blast cabinet. In this cabinet the operator would need to wear a blast helmet due to both unacceptable air quality and noise levels-the operator would spend the majority of the day in this environment. With the ID Pipe Blast System, the operator never enters the blast area, all blasting is done in a dust controlled, operator free, sealed cabinet. No dust or media escape from the blast zone due to negative pressure within. The system also operates at or below 85dba with optional sound proofing.<br />Customized to your requirementsAt Ls Industries we are able to provide customized solutions to your Pipe cleaning challenges.
