The Total ProcessSolution

The consideration of environ-

mental issues guarantees

a high level of product quality

and environmental protection.

For example, recycling the

process water is a key feature

of our mass finishing techno-

logy. In this case, the positive

effect on the environment

is reflected in savings of com-

pound and water of up to

95%. At the same time, a high

level of process reproducibility

and finishing quality is guaran-

teed.

Environmental · Quality

Rösler is a dynamic organiza-

tion where the initiative and

commitment of each employee

plays a key role. Systematic

training and a cooperative

management with lean struc-

tures are essential elements of

our corporate philosophy. This

allows us to create a work-

place environment which

attracts talented young people.

Rösler overhead rail hanger shot-blasting

machines are recommended for processing

delicate parts which cannot be processed in

bulk, and for particularly complex, heavy,

and/or large volume components.

Available in two versions:

4 In/Out batch machine

4 Continuous through-feed machine

(“merry-go-round”)

RHB – Overhead Rail Hanger Machine

With the development of this continuously operat-

ing through feed tumble belt system, Rösler has

opened up the way to fully automatic and eco-

nomical shot blasting of mass produced bulk

parts, as well as the processing of large, delicate

parts. All in the same machine.

RMBD – Through Feed Tumble Belt Machine

Our comprehensive product range offers modern shot blasting technologies which com-

pletely fulfill today’s market requirements. In addition, we are constantly working with our

customers to develop individual solutions to specific surface treatment problems.

Rösler through-feed roller conveyor machines

have been specifically designed for shot blast-

ing very long and flat parts, such as large area

metal sheets and I-beams. They are also ideal

for shot blasting flat welding constructions. The

components pass through the machine (usually

a pre chamber, a blasting chamber and a blow-

off/brush-off chamber) on a special forced-

drive roller conveyor system. The travel speed

is variable.

Rösler offers turnkey conservation lines for put-

ting a welding primer or a total surface coating

on welding constructions. Regardless of the con-

dition of your raw materials, they can be pre-

treated, derusted and coated with a high gloss

paint, all in a single process.

RRB – Roller Conveyor Machine

This machine type is ideal for continuous, all-

around shot blasting of flat, as well as large parts

with complex geometry. A highly wear-resistant

wire mesh belt, with tension adjustment, serves for

the part transport. Available with 2, 4 or 8 blast-

wheels.

RDGE – Wire Mesh Belt Machine

This machine is ideal for batch processing of mass produced

parts of all kinds of material. The RMBC offers a wide range

of shot blasting applications from small, delicate plastic com-

ponents up to large, heavy forgings.

Available with either rubber- or steel tumble belt.

RMBC – Tumble Belt Batch Machine Type

The RTC is designed for economic and consistent shot

blasting of small to medium-sized components which are too

small, light and flat to be processed in a tumblast machine.

Automatic loading and unloading systems enable the

integration into a continuous production line.

RTC – Drum Blasting Machine

RROB – Roboblaster

Shot Blasting System

The components placed on the rotary table are continuously passed

through the blasting zone. This guarantees a uniform blasting of the

surface. RDT systems are available with a single rotary table or a

segmented indexing table. Besides turbines, these machines can be

equipped with either air injection or pressure blast systems. Table

diameter from 1000 to 3 000 mm.

RDT – Rotary Table Machine

SBM blast machines are equipped with a V-shaped loop

belt. The transport cams on this loop belt provide a gentle

forward movement of the components through the blasting

zone. This machine type is particularly suited for continuous

shot blasting of high volumes of small bulk parts.

SBM – Through Feed Continuous Conveyor Machine

This continuous blast machine with special parts transport

allows the comprehensive and uniform shot blast treatment

of tubes and round bars in a continuous process. Ideal for

integration into a continuous production line.

RDR – Tube and Bar Blasting Machine

The operating scope of this amazing, high performance shot blast sys-

tem with one-arm robot includes deburring, shot peening, and surface

cleaning of large-sized delicate components. Compared with conven-

tional shot-blasting systems, the RROB offers very short time cycles.

Precise horizontal and rotary parts movement by the patented gripper

provides a uniform finish and complete removal of the blast media.

RROB systems are ideal for integration into automated production lines.

9

With the rotary indexing satellite table machine, delicate parts can

be processed on a continuous basis without touching each other.

The spectrum of blasting applications for these machines ranges

from delicate deburring to shot peening. The installation is particu-

larly interesting for applications in which only certain areas of the

parts need to be blasted.

Blast wheel technology as well as pressure blasting can be used.

RSA – Rotary Indexing Satellite Table Machine

Shot Blasting System

Pressure and pressurised injector

blasting cabinets are ideal for blast-

ing a wide variety of small parts. The

cabinets can be equipped with turnta-

bles, baskets, blast nozzles, pressure

blasting systems, oscillators and other

special auxiliary blast units.

ST – Blasting Cabinet

Deflashing Machines

The high-performance SAB series is equipped with 2-8

blast wheels and suitable for the continuous or indexing

high-volume automatic deflashing of small to large-sized,

especially delicate, thermoset components. Typical

applications are the deflashing of components made

from unsaturated polyester moulding compounds, like

control boxes, etc.

SAB – Deflashing Conveyor Machine for duroplast components

The wide range of shot blasting application requires an even larger quantity of differ-

ent shot blast media. Based on our experience and the available assortment of shot

blast media we are able to recommend the optimum media for your application.

Whether it is metallic or non-metallic, random shaped or spherical, we can supply

you with materials of almost any size and hardness.

Shot Blasting Media

In addition to the standard range of machines, Rösler

also designs and builds custom made machines for

special applications, such as deflashing machines

for lead frames with automatic load, unload

and restack systems.
