Cryogenic media-blast deflashing
AWS 20
The AWS 20 is a media-blasting machine for the cryogenic deflashing of rubber or plastic moulded parts. The very well-insulated machine cell, in combination with 2-stage dust extraction, guarantees low nitrogen consumption with effective deflashing. Energy-efficient drives and high-quality materials, good media-blasting performance and thus short batch times, as well as low space requirements, are other features of the AWS 20.
The S7-1500 controls, in combination with the button panel and barcode reader, allowfor user-friendly operation of the system. The entry and saving or external saving offormula data records guarantee a high degree of reproducibility and security.
Sustainable Reliability
Internal granulate sifting
- Continuous separation of dust and residual flashing from the blasting media
- Blasting grain in the correct size and purity for effective abrasive media-blasting
- Sustainable, reproducible media-blasting performance even in multi-shift operation
Additional cooling
- Cooling and absorbing of moisture within the machine
- Compensation for the air humidity which enters during the loading and unloading process
- Minimisation of the set-up and auxiliary process times for downtimes of more than 8 hours

Simple and secure data handling with integrated USB and LAN interface. Recipes can be called up simply and safely with the barcode reader. Integration of the machines in internal company structures with remote access and online machine access is possible. OPC-UA is available as a universal communication interface on all our machines.
The patented active media-blasting angle adjustment allows the media-blasting operating area to be adjusted automatically within the processing basket.
The basket can be swapped and a variety of basket perforations are therefore available. Tailored exactly to your re-quirements according to the moulded part sizes. Loading occurs manually using the loading aid provided through the manually operated exterior door and the two-part interior door. The basket is automatically emptied onto the emptying sieve by means of the integrated roller rails.
The external vibration sieve works with frequency-controlled modern magnet oscillation technology. This allows the supply and sieve speeds to be set optimally. As standard, the emptying sieve is single-level with a changeable sieve so you can respond to a variety of moulded parts. We can also offer customised multi-level emptying sieves.
