Sandblasting and shot peening machines for the automotive and aerospace industries

Industrial sandblasting and shot peening machines are used in the automotive, aerospace and motorsport sectors, both for maintenance and in the production of new components.

Maintenance and overhaul: sandblasting and shot peening machines are used to clean engine components, turbines and mechanical parts; they remove oxidation, residues and contaminants, preparing the surfaces for subsequent overhaul stages.

Component production: sandblasting and shot peening machines are used on turned, milled and CNC-machined parts for deburring, aesthetic finishing and preparing surfaces for painting, coating or subsequent treatments.

What are sandblasters and shot peeners used for in the automotive and aerospace sectors?

In the automotive, aerospace, motorsport and marine sectors, sandblasting and shot peening are used both in the production of new components and in maintenance and overhaul work.

Maintenance and overhaul: these processes enable the cleaning of engine components, turbines and mechanical parts, removing oxidation, residues and contaminants, and preparing surfaces for subsequent processing.

Component production: these processes are used on turned, milled and CNC-machined parts for deburring, aesthetic finishing and preparing surfaces for painting, coating and subsequent treatments.

Surface restoration: this enables the restoration of worn or contaminated components by removing residues and surface defects prior to inspection, repair or further treatment.

The Lampugnani solution: robustness and versatility in machining

For over 50 years, Lampugnani Sabbiatrici has been developing robust, reliable and easy-to-use machines, suited to the requirements of production, maintenance and overhaul.

The same sandblasting/shot peening machine allows for both sandblasting with abrasive materials, such as corundum, and shot peening with spherical media, such as glass or ceramic microspheres, offering great versatility across a range of processes.

The various configurations enable the treatment of components made from light alloys, special steels and composite materials, carrying out cleaning, deburring, surface preparation and aesthetic finishing operations.

Ease of use, simple maintenance and the availability of spare parts round off solutions designed for day-to-day industrial work.

Pressure systems

Maintenance

For the maintenance and overhaul of engine components and mechanical parts, sandblasting and shot blasting remove oxidation, residues and contaminants, preparing the surfaces for subsequent processing.

Manufacturing

In the manufacture of new components, sandblasting and shot peening are used on turned, milled and CNC-machined parts for deburring, aesthetic finishing and preparation for subsequent treatments.

Versatility

The choice of different abrasives and microspheres makes it possible to tailor the treatment to different materials and components, achieving the desired level of cleanliness, roughness or surface finish in a precise and uniform manner.

Testing laboratory

Finishing tests

Lampugnani Sabbiatrici manufactures exclusively manual blasting cabinets and automatic bulk blasting systems with rotating baskets, designed to meet a range of production and maintenance requirements.

Before selecting a sandblasting or shot blasting machine, treatment method or abrasive, it is possible to carry out tests directly on the customer’s components in our in-house laboratory.

At LAMPO-LAB, we can conduct and compare tests using different sandblasting machines, abrasives and microbeads, directly assessing the result on the surface and identifying the most suitable solution before the machine is selected.
