Description of equipment operation
The work is done as follows: the wagon is pulled into the chamber by a winch. The doors are closed, two operators clean the wagon outer surface by shot blasting. Used shots fall through the grid floor in the area with a pusher-bar conveyor which colletct shots in the chamber center in the area of cross conveyors. The shots come into standard cleaning system and into the shot blasters.
