Blast Equipment built for the Realities of Forging Operations
Forging is an aggressive environment, driving the need for durable, purpose-built blasting machine design that can withstand rigorous operating conditions.
FORGE-READY EQUIPMENT
Engineered for the Demands
of the Forge Industry
Heavy, Tightly
Bonded Oxide Scale
Forged parts carry thick, hard oxide scale that must be removed before machining, grinding, or coatings. If this scale is not addressed, it can damage downstream equipment and reduce final part quality.
Bronco Equipment is built to remove the most difficult scaling and produce a clean part ready for the next process.
Large, Heavy, and Uniquely Shaped Parts
Forging operations often produce parts with significant weight, complex geometry, and non-standard designs. These characteristics affect how parts can be handled, blasted, and processed without damage or inefficiency.
Bronco offers several models and sizes of equipment to assist in right-sizing your equipment for your application. There is always an opportunity for custom equipment if the application and situation call for it.
Production Flow
and Part Handling
Forged parts are typically run through blast cleaning in batch-style loads or as single pieces moving through a continuous flow. The way parts are grouped, staged, and handled directly affects how blast equipment must be designed and applied.
Bronco Offers a several options for Batch- style loading as well as a number of options for continuous flow equipment options. We stand ready to assist you in choosing the best process for your blast equipment, which may include how to properly fixture your product to maintain a clean, efficient process.
BUILD TO BLAST
Why Customers Choose Bronco
Bronco designs and configures blast equipment based on part size, geometry, and production flow, treating forging applications as engineering problems to be solved.
Bronco equipment is constructed with oversized components built for heavy-scale applications that rapidly wear out standard equipment, enabling it to withstand the aggressive forging operations.
Bronco reduces system complexity and limits unnecessary moving parts, making equipment easier to maintain and helping reduce downtime over the life of the machine.
THE RIGHT MACHINE FOR THE JOB
Bronco’s Forge-Ready Blasting Toolkit
All Bronco blast equipment is engineered to remove forging scale and decrease unplanned downtime. Using durable cast liners and abrasive separation suited for forging environments, you increase your uptime and throughput. Our systems are configured around part size, geometry, and production flow to support how forged parts move through the process.
Multi-Tumble Drum Blast Machine
The Multi-Tumble Drum supports forging operations that run multiple parts together, removing heavy, tightly bonded oxide scale from small to medium-sized components.
Best Used For:
- Smaller Forgings
- High-Volume Batch Production
- Dense Load Processing
Spinner Hanger Blast Machine
The Spinner Hanger is used in forging applications where part size, weight, or geometry make tumbling less suitable and controlled blasting is required.
Best Used For:
- Large Forgings
- Delicate Geometries
- Parts not suited for tumbling or part-on-part contact
- More controlled blast exposure
“Forging applications demand equipment that can withstand heavy scale, heavy parts, and continuous production. We engineer each system around how the customer actually runs their operation.”
