11-14% Austenitic Manganese Steel Cage Assemblies

Shot Blast Cage Assembly Overview:

As a way to ensure that all of the surfaces of a cast engine block are able to be cleaned (shot blasted), it is necessary to rotate the newly cast raw engine block as it moves through the shot blast cabinet.

To enable the raw blocks to maintain positioning during the cleaning operation, a cage is necessary to “hold” the blocks in position while allowing the velocity of the steel shot to circulate with minimum blockage.
