Abstract
A shielding device for shot blasting or shot peening chambers comprising a shot retention chamber, preferably with multiple interior compartments formed by divider walls, which retains a protective layer of shot to absorb the high energy impact of high velocity shot particles, the shot layer being retained by magnetic or electrically enhanced magnetic means such that the shot retention chamber can be mounted at any angle up to 90 degrees above or below horizontal.
Claims14
An impact shielding device for use in a shot blasting chamber to absorb the impact of high velocity shot particles impelled in a particle stream by a shot impeller device to prevent damage to the shot blasting chamber, the impact shielding device comprising a shot retention chamber defining an interior compartment and which is mountable within said shot blasting chamber at any angle up to 90 degrees above or below horizontal so as to receive high velocity shot particles impelled in a particle stream by a shot impeller device, said shot retention chamber having shot retention means to retain a layer of shot particles within said interior compartment of said shot retention chamber, whereby said layer of shot absorbs the impact of said high velocity shot particles.
