Less weight, compact design and improved sustainability – a producer of injection-moulded components has proven that these goals are achievable economically with high-performance plastic materials. The company is increasingly producing previously metal workpieces from duroplast and thermoplast materials. Therefore, the capacity for de-
flashing these components requires increasing. For this purpose, the customer ROS GmbH & Co KG chose shot-blasting solutions from Rösler. An RSAB 470wire mesh belt machine ensures fast and efficient processing in continuous flow, while an RWS 1200swing satellite table machine is utilised for high-quality, consistent de-flashing of single workpieces. The special dual chamber design of this machine practically eliminates any unproductive idle equipment times.

Jürgen Bär, responsible for planning in the industrial engineering department at ROS in Coburg explains: “Deciding factors for choosing Rösler were our good experience with the
shot-blast machines we’ve been using for a long time, the compact, space-saving and sturdy equipment design, and Rösler’s comprehensive knowledge in the field of plastic de-flashing. Moreover, we needed the continuous flow shot-blast machine quickly. Rösler generously supplied a machine from their customer experience centre within a few days.”

The flexible, high-capacity RSAB 470 shot-blast machinede-flashes components made from duroplast and thermoplast PPS-GF materials, while the RWS 1200swing satellite table machine de-flashes components made from PPS-GF with outer dimensions of up to 163 mm.
In line with the production cycle of the injection moulding machine, up to four workpieces are de-flashed simultaneously within a processing time of 40 seconds.
