PB2 Abrasive Blasting Machine – Application & Use Cases
The PB2 Abrasive Blasting Machine is a compact, high-performance system designed for precision cleaning and surface preparation of complex automotive components. It is widely used in turbocharger reconditioning and motorcycle engine rebuilding.
Turbocharger Component Applications:
- Turbine Housing: Removes heavy carbon build-up and rust from cast iron or steel housings without affecting dimensional integrity.
- Compressor Cover (Aluminum): Cleans oxidation and casting residues, preparing the surface for inspection, painting, or coating.
- Bearing Housing: Degreases and removes coke deposits for accurate assembly and lubrication performance.
- Turbine Shaft & Rotor Assembly: Cleans fine carbon and oil residues, allowing crack inspection (MPI or dye penetrant).
Result: Improved inspection accuracy, reduced wear-related failures, and enhanced rebuild consistency.
Motorcycle Component Applications:
- Cylinder Heads: Cleans carbon deposits and surface corrosion, especially in combustion chambers and valve seats.
- Crankcases & Engine Covers: Restores aluminum surfaces by removing grime, oxidation, and old paint without altering mating surfaces.
- Pistons & Connecting Rods: Lightly blasts carbon and oil varnish, preparing parts for inspection and reuse.
- Valve Train Parts: Prepares tappets, rockers, and valve stems for reconditioning by cleaning fine oil residue and surface stains.
Result: Restored components suitable for inspection, precision assembly, or coating—critical in high-performance rebuilds.
Key Features Supporting These Applications:
- Fine-grit media compatibility for delicate parts.
- Adjustable blast pressure (2–6 bar) for tailored cleaning force.
- Compact, closed-loop design with dust extraction and media recycling.
- Consistent surface finish with roughness in the range of Ra 1.2–3.0 µm.
- Minimal manual effort, reduced chemical usage, and increased throughput.
The PB2 Blasting Machine is an essential asset for professional workshops, ensuring clean, inspectable, and precision-ready parts in both motorcycle engine work and turbocharger overhauls.
