MAGNETIC LINER SYSTEM FOR CENTRIFUGAL BLAST WHEEL MACHINE AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A MAGNETIC LINER SYSTEM

摘要

A centrifugal blast wheel machine includes a housing, a wheel assembly configured to throw blast media introduced into the wheel assembly against a work piece, and an impeller positioned about an axis of the wheel assembly. The impeller has a media inlet at one end adapted to receive blast media and a plurality of impeller media outlets configured to allow egress of blast media upon rotation of the impeller. The blast wheel machine further includes a motor coupled to the impeller to drive the rotation of the impeller and the wheel assembly. The blast wheel machine further includes a magnetic liner secured to the left side wall and the right side wall to create an enclosure. The magnetic liner has a plurality of magnets arranged so that North poles of the plurality of magnets are positioned on a common side to attract a layer of ferrous material.
